Edward Ka-Spel - Meltdown - 22-Apr-07 05:57 AM
Bad news for all you collectible-owners and time again to start that laborious discussion whether some music should be - respectively should remain - exclusive or not. But first the facts: Meltdown isn't exclusive any longer! This track will appear on the Ka-Spel CD-release "Melancholics Anonymous" together with some other vinyl-rarities. If it wasn't the (lead singer of the) Legendary Pink Dots, I'd say one is just tending to make a fast buck. OK, Edward and the Dots should be supported where- and whenever we can, but shouldn't there be a sort of reward for all those loyals who catch any of their releases launched? I know, it rather is a comment for a forum and it has been started time and time again, but meanwhile it has grown to such a common matter that I thought it ought to be presented to an audience as large as possible.

First let me state, in general I am a big fan of this label's unusual art-objects, as I myself own several of them.
But this release is far from the standard of all the other objects label-owner Rene Heid has launched so lovingly, yet: Installation is not that difficult, OK, but nevertheless too elaborate to see an effect, which isn't worth all the effort, as I think! And having closed the blinds and one eye several times & fixed a seperate light in the same way time and time again, I finally decided one box to be enough in my collection and sold this one again for even less than I bought it.
So let me tell all you out there, who bear in mind becoming a box-owner someday: do NOT start with that one.
A pair of new shoes will do just as well! They won't sound much worse than the noises on this release - and the price is considerably smaller and of course: the box!

Received a copy just recently, and those ritual drones filled both, my room and my head that evening - bit by bit. Stunned I listened to all those ever repeating motifs and echoes of motifs and sounds and voices.
I also read a review by someone who tells this release to be the worst remix-album he's had the displeasure to own, yet.
Listening to it, my mind tried to trace his words saying "This is a meal prepared by someone with a minimum of effort and not worth even considering" - but something else deep in me said "Eat!" - and so it was!
