referencing The Crushed Velvet Apocalypse, CD, Album, BIAS 149 CD
If you're interested in The Legendary Pink Dots and don't know the way in their enormeous discography, "The Crushed Velvet Apocalypse" might be a very good starting point. This album offers high quality material and at the same time it's one of the more accessible LPD-albums. "I Love You In Your Tragic Beauty" and "Princess Coldheart" are amongst the most beautiful ballads in their discography. Tracks like "The Safe Way" and "The Death Of Jack The Ripper" will give you a glimpse of the Dots' more experimental side, while "Just A Lifetime" and "New Tommorow" are a good introduction to the lyrical qualities of singer Edward Ka-Spel. Note that this is the first album featuring Niels Van Hoorn. Highly recommended !
