Album Notes
Performers include: Edward Ka-Spel (vocals).
Recorded between 1984-1993.
This second odds and ends collection of Legendary Pink Dots frontman Ka-Spel's (generally) solo works picks up where the first volume left off, with the remaining half of 1984's rare LAUGH CHINA DOLL and the entirety of the same year's DANCE CHINA DOLL debut. Ka-Spel's simple but lovely synth arpeggios indeed suggest dancing and laughing dolls or other terpsichorean toy-chest spectacles. The wistful "Lady Sunshine" is especially choice, but all five selections fit well alongside the Dots material of this formative period.
VOL. 2 jumps ahead several years to the much more sophisticated--and sinister--soundscapes of "Inferno," "Illusion," "and "The Man Who Never Was." Previously available only on limited vinyl formats, these excellent artifacts retain the puppet-master whimsy of earlier material but stir in a hearty helping of tape-loop experimentation and dubbed-out sonic science. Yet these abstract gems--and a weird homage to the Beatles' "Revolution #9"--are mere appetizers for two unreleased, latter-day pieces. Working with brilliant sonic manipulator Christoph Heemann (H.N.A.S., Mimir), Ka-Spel produces "The Fool With Spanners," a harrowing assemblage of electronic disturbance, crackling stereophonic effects, and fractured songcraft, and then recasts the Dots' "A Crack in Melancholy Time" in a similarly disorienting mode.
