I’ve Got a Fever - I’m Seeing Pink Dots

 

One of my favorite bands, one that I've featured many times before as well as releases from Ryan Moore (bass, drums, percussion, Twilight Circus Dub Sound System), Niels van Hoorn (saxophones, flute, bass flute, clarinets, gadgets that need to be blown), & Martijn de Kleer (guitars, fuzz bass, banjo, violon, exotic percussion, gadgets, string driven things-plucked, bowed, & processed) as well as side project The Tear Garden (with cEvin Key).

 



I realized I have rarely posted from the extensive catalogue of Edward Ka-Spel's (Prophet Qa-Spel, Qa'Sepel, Che Banana, D'Archangel) solo releases & that I had somehow never posted anything from LPD keyboardist & song-writer The Silverman (Phil Knight, Phil Harmonix). I am about to remedy that shortcoming now. 

 



Between 1984-1990 Edward Ka-Spel released seven China Doll albums. Ka-Spel's solo output expanded on the sounds he had started along with LPD in 79. By 87 he had ventured into industial noise & experimental styles much beyond what he was doing in LPD. Eyes! China Doll & Laugh China Doll are a great accessible start into his sound. By 87s aaΔzhyd China Doll he had ventured into a darker adventurous industrial-psychedelic territory.

The first China Doll release was Eyes! China Doll

To finish things off here, I came across this while I was putting this together from long overlooked files. Strange Attractor was a Dutch downtempo project active between 2004 - 2010 featuring Niels van Hoorn (LPD), Graham Lewis (Wire, He Said, Duet Emmo, more), Ryan Moore (LPD), David J (Bauhaus, Love & Rockets, solo), Winston Tong (Tuxedomoon), Peter Christopherson (Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV, Coil),  & many others.
