OFF: A Legendary Pinktroduction to The Legendary Pink Dots

[Christian Mumford]

List, The Fantastic 4 and The Superskrull aside: Here is a story---> I made Mike Coleman a copy of disc 1 last year so he could try out LPD and he hated it and described it as "terrible noise". Well I had Gong-comparisons in mind for the CoalMeister, their early stuff when they were doing their Beatnik thing... THEN i made a second disc with more LPD, with a Spacerock angle (like "Saucers" and "Andromeda") and sent the 2CDR set to Scott in Denmark. He seems to be enjoying it.... getting Bowie vibes off the early years. I cannot say/sing/scream enough praise about this unique Underground band and they are so productive - even more CDs out than Hawkwind yet formed in 1980. Just witness my review at the Aural Innovations site of their Oslo 1998 show. Amazing. Here is the tracklist as I made about 3 2CDR sets I can send some out for people who want an introduction. The Tooth fairy has chosen me, Yes! I really think these two discs showcase the Hawkwind/psychedelia/spacerock side ro their stuff... its like if Syd Barrett was an 80s New Wave dude and formed Hawkwind in a universe of their own.
