www.Gothenburg, Sweden again (so I can see you for the 10th time or so...Martyn Bates caught the show last November in Geneva and was surprised with how good the gig was!Hey were just letting you know we put up a video on our page
You can all stop using your imagination to think about what we sound like
Come check it out!Dear Dots
We got a new song for you with a lot of stomping and clapping!Come to me please come to me...!The last time we saw you was at the Pez Ner...Check it out on our profile.Thank you for supporting us
Keep on rocking...Ho, thank you for frienship, even if virtual, remembering of a concert in Rennes, a soft and nice night ...Thanks for adding The Legendary Pink Dots!You are brilliant musicians.LPD is such a great band, I eat up everything you put out!Het is een cover van de jaren '80 ballad "The Promise You Made" van Cock Robin.We've got the latest (un)authorized GorillaFace live recordings !That's right, GorillaFace caught live on tape jamming in preparation for their summer gigs !"Urgent Security Alert","Warning: You are submitting information to an outside site.This is not a MySpace login page, please do not enter your MySpace login information (email address or password).Spel (the singer who has spent two decades perfecting his exemplary Syd Barrett mimicry).Numanoid technolust, lavish apocalyptic premonitions, and even one Princess Coldheart.It is primitive yet innovative work.It's Raining In Heaven is a hodgepodge of an album with a few cuts of live material (such as "Puppets Apocalypse") and a sampling of oddball experiments (with "Premonition 11").The Chemical Playschool series has served to collect Pink Dots rarities, especially those of a more expermimental nature.Intended as a companion to Hallway of the Gods, Chemical Playschool 10, which featured new and unreleased material from '92 to '97 including "Inside" and "Nouveaux Modes Exotiques," is, oddly enough, a pretty coherent album of trance rock gems that draw heavily from the krautrock trinity of Can, Neu, and Faust.Thematically, 1998's Nemesis Online, with the tracks "Dissonance" and "As Long As It's Green And Purple," is the Pink Dots' noir album, in which David Lynchian lounge jazz creeps into the band's already darkened sensibilities.Other Suggestions:

O.Star Trek TV series, what was your initial reaction when you first saw Star Wars?Star Wars, but seeing him in his finery, uttering those wise words gave me my most blessed Star Wars experience.Which of the Star Wars films is your favorite?Which character would feel right at home playing in the Legendary Pink Dots?D2 would be just fine in the Legendary Pink Dots.It has to be the Silver Man, especially when his machines take over and start rolling and bleeping around the room.Maybe it's a fear of ending up like the character in "Dying for the Emperor."What was the experience like for you as a fan of the genre?These days, time just doesn't permit as Legendary Pink Dots takes up so much of my time.They remind us of how small we are and how great and beautiful the universe is.Earth is the only spot in the universe where life exists.There simply has to be more than that and I will not rest until I've contacted a few of those "others."To learn more about the Legendary Pink Dots, visit the official Web site here.Remember me this way', but the Pink Dots are not
the next Blur yet, as these pop tunes have a dark, warped edge.Kollusim', an instrumental, weird, ambient piece.This fades into the quite dancy '1001 Commandments'.It's also to be remixed
as a single which I'm eager to hear.Legendary Pink Dots remain as interesting as they've
always been.Appears on:A Homage to Neu!Guide to the Legendary Pink Dots Vol.Guide to the Legendary Pink Dots Vol.You can edit this page to correct data or upload images, but you must log in first.Spel and the
Legendary Pink Dots have been infamous for their massive and diverse
output.America is quite a fascinating culture to us Europeans, which is always in
the case of the grass being greener on the other side, as they say.There was quite a lot of press
about it at the time which mainly did the trick because the next year we
had no trouble whatsoever getting our visas.It was a bit strange because we actually toured America the year
before."Super" on the Homage to Neu tribute album was
probably the most innovative on the album.Cleopatra
Records said they were doing a tribute to Neu!And then, we thought 'Maybe we should be more flexible
on our policy here,' since Neu was very special to us.It was the first music I ever got into, bands like
Can.Can are finally getting the recognition they deserve.They are that
influential.PSF: Do you think the Pink Dots have influenced any bands?S: It's a full time mission in a way.It's what keeps us alive.We put all of these
albums together, put all of these tours together and make a living from
it.What else would I do now?S: It's not easy to make a living, you can't really look too far ahead.Technically, poverty is always around the corner, but we always manage to
fend it off just by working like hell.PSF: Do you find that you still have the same drive you did when you
started making music?Whether its the same kind of drive is not
certain, but the passion and the will and the relentless kind of obsession
doesn't go away.KS: You got something inside, something that I would not know how to
explain why it's there or what the nature of it is.Live takes what's in the studio and expands
it and expands it massively.Some tracks like the ones on Nemesis Online
mutate while we're on the road.Sometimes, it mutates it to such a degree,
it's almost hard to recognize by the end of the tour.On it, there are three pieces we recorded back in
the beginning of the '90s and as we played them live more and more, they
began to mutate completely out of the boundaries of what we set them when
we recorded them.You know, there are lesser shows, there are better
shows, but the intent is to go further every night.It
certainly starts that way, we start off with some live informal jams and
improvisations.Different members will have different ideas to build upon
as well.I'm not talking about the end of the world or
anything like that, but there's a lot of signs there that maybe hint the
whole structure of the world as we know it is going to change.We
will have to deal with it and look at it in a new way and maybe the growth
or decay from this because such a scenario will mean an excess will be
something the past.PSF: How do you see yourself living in this new world?PSF: Magic appears to play an important role in your music.Magic is neutral, it depends on how you choose to use it.I'm not a
practicer, I'm a respecter.One song we've been
playing live has just come together, a couple of weeks ago we weren't
intending to write a song, but it just happened.We're already looking
forward.It really goes from one end of the
spectrum to the other in popularity.Bands like Radiohead are wonderful.They're like The Beatles of the '90's, lots of emotion and lots care in
sound and in the way they play.It's a
healthy thing for the end of '90's, categories are just bursting out with
change.KS: I think we are psychedelic in the purest sense, in that we expand.We're not
a nostalgic band harkening for the '60's.S: I suppose it's just the nature of things.The Pink Dots is a word of mouth thing.KS: Yes, I deal with it in an odd way.Guide To The Legendary Pink Dots Vol.Best Psychedelic Tracks
