What was touring during this period of time like for the band? Did US audiences get the music in a similar way to their European counterparts?

Very early days for touring in the US. Does it take the wind out of your sails to play for a small audience or does it not matter? I actually enjoy the contact when the audience is small…increases the one-on-one situations.

Everybody smiling at some point. What were some of the bands you played with on The Album) Dimension tour? Now I want to talk about the various editions of the record? Originally did the LP and CD differ in terms of running order and number of tracks? Running order was the same, but the original LP sliced the recordings in half as vinyl was regarded as future landfill at that time. How did those long form initial improvisations lead to the dense songs we hear on the record what was the evolutionary process?

But the mutations of seeds scattered in those improvs were radical. You mention that you have a box set of all of the sessions for the album. How were these sessions scheduled, was this worked on for an intense period of time all in one go or would you tour and then come back to recording?

We played for a solid month then had a holiday break, then all resumed for another weeks when we consolidated what we had, tried various concepts Disturbance for exampleand mixed. In vinyl was making its original last stand: Were you involved in mastering for the LP? Were you satisfied with the how the record sounded? I confess I never listened to the original vinyl edition- I was just too disappointed by the presentation.

Is it on heavier vinyl stock? Are there liner notes included? Well, ALL the bonus tracks are there making it a double. Great quality too, all remastered and packaging Album) die for. We have a few on our bandcamp page legendarypinkdots1. Well, I miss Bob still. There's those lush synths again but with sax this time before 2 minutes as the vocals stop temporarily. The chorus is too catchy. Again this is so inventive, especially late with all that's going on. Man this seems Krautrock inspired as it opens with spacey, droning sounds.

Love the atmosphere here. A beat kicks in along with some strange noises. A baby cries out before 4 minutes bringing GILA to mind. Spoken words follow in this haunting section. Lilith - The Legendary Pink Dots - The Maria Dimension (File that baby crying again. The guitar expressions and electronics sound so good as the spoken words continue. Dark pulsating sounds after 6 minutes and what sounds like strummed sitar, Album). The vocals get deeper then back to the previous soundscape.

A hypnotic and dark tune. An 80's sounding synth line joins in that I like. Deep vocals chant the words.

Vocals throughout and it's experimental late. Simply a beautiful piece of music. Yes I like the way this album ends. It sounds like deep cello as spoken words join in. Very psychedelic lyrics here as well. Love it! An eastern vibe joins in. This is so good and it ends with some creepy piano. I can't wait to check out more from this band, they play the kind of Psychedelic music I adore. One of the best albums fromno doubt. I am quite surprised that no one made an effort to review this album yet.

It was his last album with the Dots before he succumbed to lung cancer in A different life back then—3 of us sharing a small flat. All very much hand-to-mouth existence. Final question: what does hold for you and the band what are you working on these days? You must be logged in to post a comment. What is The Maria Dimension? It was there at the time. We all did. It just seemed to flow naturally little discussion was needed.

Personally where do you place this record in terms of all of the Dots records? It surely helped, although the successor Shadow Weaver fared better in the States. No, we tend to dive in and out, pick and choose- but odd songs still crop up live today.
