LEGENDARY PINK DOTS (LPD) - 10 to the Power of 9 - Vol. 1

Format: LP Label & Cat.Number: Rustblade RBLLP004 Release Year: 2014 Note: concept album about 'conspiracy theories, magic & spirituality', a dark psychedelic trip... lim. 499 pink (non-transparent) vinyl Price (incl. 19% VAT): €23.50 More Info "Die Kult-Fomation meldet sich mit einem großartigen Konzeptalbum zurück, erscheinend auf RUSTBLADE als limitierte Colored-Vinyl-Edition (499 Exemplare)! Selten passt das Attribut legendär so gut wie auf die Gruppe um EDWARD KA-SPEL und PHIL „THE SILVERMAN“ KNIGHT, die seit nun mehr als drei Dekaden für ihren unverkennbaren, einzigartigen Soundkosmos verehrt wird, bei dem Psychedelic-Heads, Dark Waver und Freunde experimenteller (Elektronik-)Klänge gleichermaßen auf ihre Kosten kommen. Mit ihrem neusten Machwerk legen die LEGENDARY PINK DOTS den ersten Teil einer komplexen Story über Konspirativität, Magie und Spiritualität vor. Minimale Synths, Gitarren, synkopische Beats, die Verwirrung stiften, psychedelische und transzendentale Geräusche, welche wie gewohnt von der charakteristischen Stimme KA-SPELs begleitet werden. „Ten To The Power Of Nine Vol.1 ”ist ein dunkler und außergewöhnlicher Trip in die musikalische Psyche der LEGENDARY PINK DOTS, die hier wieder einmal ihren Status als absolut unverkennbare musikalische Ausnahmeerscheinung bestätigen." [label info] www.rustblade.com "For more than thirty years I have been following The Legendary Pink Dots, of which maybe twenty years close to the fire. I have written a lot about the Dots; about their music, the various incarnations, the old work versus the new and how some of the new albums released on smaller scale are more experimental than the bigger scale releases. When I was listening to '10 To the Power Of 9' (a culmination of two earlier LP releases under the same name), I was thinking about the latter notion - small/big, experimental or not - and thinking this is perhaps no longer the case. Whereas on the older yet recent works the stomping ground of krautrock was used a bit too much for my taste, the more experimental works were relegated to CDR, but on '10 To The Power Of 9' there is a fine balance between the experiment and the accessibility. A song like 'Malice/Freak Flag' shows this inside one piece: noisy guitars, spacious synthesizers, spacious guitars and mayhem, within these twelve minutes a lot happen. It seems as if Edward Ka-spel's voice is more 'above' the music, more reciting than singing; the emphasis is more on the poetry than the pure song format. But all of that embedded within the experiment of the music. I quite enjoyed this album for its variation. The more song-like structures of 'Open Season', 'Room For Two' and 'Your Humble Season' or the title piece, but also a psychedelic outing as 'The Elevator', which remind me of the band's various incarnations of the piece 'Premonition'. It seems to me that The Legendary Pink Dots have found their ground better in a work like this. Highly varied, a display of their various incarnations and throughout a hauntingly beautiful release."
