Album Notes & Community Reviews

The enormously prolific experimental collective The Legendary Pink Dots delivered a deeply melancholic, surreal vision on this 2006 release. Guided by Edward Ka-Spel's distinct, poetic spoken-word delivery, the album constructs an incredibly dark, idiosyncratic atmosphere utilizing bizarre electronic loops, mournful horns, and unsettling space rock textures.
