Chemical Playschool Volumes 8 & 9 (2013 Remaster)

by Legendary Pink Dots

supported by

Misha Langley As always, it is difficult to have to pick a "favorite track"... but since I'm supposed to try... this one (I Dream of Jeannie) does stand out. But each time another track starts, I think that IT is the best one... What higher praise can there be? Favorite track: I Dream of Jeannie.

RTW This is the Dots at their trippiest, period. This collection is the way to take a casual fan up to the next level... try it after CVA, Maria, and 9 Lives. The songs alternate between cosmic and earthy, but they all share a swirly unpredictability and they all ooze together. This includes 5 tracks from a limited bonus disc that originally came with Maria. Favorite track: Andromeda Suite.

about

1995.A dark room and a shelf full of bulky 8-track tapes. The boxes would sometimes proudly boast the title of an album like say "Crushed Velvet Apocalypse" in bold felt tip pen, but look closer and there would be a weedy biro
line through it and the word "session" replacing it.
Play the thing and it would be a big mix of the individual tracks for the proclaimed album ,a weird and wonderful jam and some events that were better left unheard.
Such were the building blocks of Cp 8 and 9.
Add to that the odd tracks from compilations, the songs from that elusive 3" cd tat came with initial copies of "Maria Dimension" , cassettes which left blew oxide flakes to the four winds and it can be seen that a serious journey could be taken here.
Lost bits of Shadow weaver, remnants of Maria sessions , scraps from 9 Lives are all here.
Damn it, thee's also "A Triple Moon salute" , which (along with "Damien") may be EK's personal LPD favourite.
Lastly there's the cover…..weird weird fishes EVERYWHERE -one of Elke's finest creations...
Take this brother, may it serve you well…..

Jean Jacques Birge is an artist with a history so rich with good music, it's possible to forget that there's life outside this submarine. Hours of deep listening await the curious listener. Legendary Pink Dots

Up there with Chyekk, Tanith, Albion... Looping this back-to-back with Songs of Solitude and dancing my ass off! (Sorry I lost my original comments b/c I closed my Bandcamp account in a pet over constant reCAPTCHA obstruction. It preserved my purchases but not comments.) So much incredible music from this artist even since this recent release! sun-dappled-dacy
