about

All music by:
dAS
Edward-Ka Spel
Frans De Waard
Ninah Pixie
Philip Knight

Recorded at TeKaSky Studios in Nijmegen, Netherlands, late October 2018.

Ninah first prepared her collection of sipsi reed flutes, before bonding at the studio Crumar organ (also a Pixy!), with all it's stuttering (broken!) idiosyncrasies.....

Frans conjured textural movement by mixing multiple cassette players and I-Pad.....

dAS experimented with contact mics and sound boards, feeding his computer to his looper....

Edward conducted a ballet of custom voice samples and played software synths.....

Phil surfed the aether-static world of circuit bent radio, and powered up the analog synth armoury.

The recordings were mixed by Frans, and the sound mastered for CD by Edward.

Cover artwork by Phil...and much thanks to Astrid, and to Sascha.

“Revolutions In The Head” represents the almost transcendental result of “Discipline In The Studio” as members of The Big City Orchestra, Legendary Pink Dots And Frans De Waard (Modelbau, Kapotte Muziek and much more) combined to create a stream of 60 minute soundtracks for a TV station in San Francisco.
If that sounds like a recipe for chaos, then think again. The concentration involved was almost terrifying, but the satisfaction displayed when that clock hit the magical 60 minute mark seemed like a glorious release.
All the music here was recorded in The Silverman’s Attic studio.
Das And Ninah of Big City Orchestra instigated the project and flew to The Netherlands for these sessions.
The first hours involved them, The Silverman and Frans while Edward Ka-Spel joined for the last part of the penultimate session and the final hour.
Edward had literally just got off the train from London, tiptoed upstairs, unpacked his keyboard and various devices, connected the wires as soundlessly as possible and found his patch in the cauldron. The “Hellos” were delayed as only 30 minutes had passed of that particular musical voyage.
When the music was over, there seemed to be a general consensus that this meeting of minds needed to be heard by a wider audience. A big thank you to Frans for the hours he spent editing to make this release possible. - Edward Ka-spel

CHEMICAL PLAYSCHOOL VOLUMES 21 & 22

This is unexpectedly becoming one of my favorite Dots releases, period, along with Malachai and several other late ‘80s-‘90s highlights (my favorite LPD era). So happy to see some last copies of the gorgeous-looking LP on Bandcamp after making the mistake of not buying at the SF show. Walter Campbell

This new master is vastly superior to previous reisssues. It is an essential upgrade for anyone into the cassette albums, and a fine introduction for anyone who isn't yet. The energy of DIY discovery is palpable. Corey Goldberg

doesn't feel busy or overproduced. Like a b-sides collect for the last two decades. Wish there was more Silverman material, but the song given here is unique... more material like "Drifting..." would be cool. Also, Geisha mermaid is immortal. thenewspaper

Like us all, I had the 98 cd version, and while this redux will be the only one I listen to from now on (until vinyl?), I still like the CDs. Some songs were hidden behind others, and the edit compacts the songs together. But this is Uncut. If there is one album that should be physically handed to a teenager, it is this one. thenewspaper
