"The Legendary Pink Dots is an Anglo-Dutch experimental rock band formed in London in August 1980. Although far outside the mainstream (in terms of their music and career path), LPD have released more than 40 albums, have a devoted worldwide following, and tour frequently.
The core members of the group, Edward Ka-Spel (vocals, keyboards, songwriter) and Phil Knight (a.k.a. The Silverman) (keyboards, electronics), are joined by Erik Drost (guitars) and Raymond Steeg (live sound engineer). The bands debut for Metropolis Records, entitled The Gethsemane Option, is a seven song, hour long exploration in textural ambience and rock experimentalism. Featuring Ka-Spels distinctive vocals and lyrical imagery blended with hypnotic guitar and synth washes and spellbinding bass pulses, The Gethsamane Option is a musical laudanum induced fever dream. An enthralling, captivating release."
Free download from Amazon UK. Certainly worth a download for Lowlife and any others in the UK
GP, AMC and others - and I might also expect that two of us here could have the same birthday! Statistically, if you have 36 people in a room, two will have the same birthday by chance. Don't ask me the maths, but I have had it proved to me!

We were lucky enough to have been gifted with some CDs on Canada Day. This is Rory's 4th in her mentor series. Outstanding!
Best Canada Day, ever.
