How about a little Anglo-Dutch experimental rock to round out your Sunday?
Read on:
The Legendary Pink Dots (LPD) are 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. Ka-Spel’s Legendary Pink Dots were one of the most adventurous (and ever evolving) psychedelic poppers. They began with psychedelic madrigals that were unique in the pastoral way they employed electronic sounds, for example on Brighter Now (1982). Asylum (1985) veered towards melancholy decadent futuristic pop a` la Roxy Music and Ultravox. As Ka-Spel’s skills in orchestration improved, he sculpted the neo-classic pop of Any Day Now (1987), possibly his artistic peak, and then the eccentric synth-pop of The Maria Dimension (1991), and finally experimented with the avantgarde arrangements of Malachi (1993), probably his most ambitious work.
