    (2022) The Legendary Pink Dots - Close Your Eyes, You Can Be a Space Captain





Review:

This CD accompanied the book Close Your Eyes, You Can Be A Space Captain – The Legendary Pink Dots in the 1980s by Freek Kinkelaar and released by Kormplastics. A book by The Dots’ close friend and associate for 35 years, Freek Kinkelaar. The author interviewed as many Pink Dots as he could round up for this offering which firmly focusses on the band’s first decade of existence. A CD is also enclosed containing the favourite songs of those who answered the questions plus 2 unreleased nuggets. Founded in 1980, the Legendary Pink Dots combine melody and mood in beautiful, haunting songs and soundscapes. Their music soundtracks the often despondent times it was created in yet always offers a window to solace and hope. This book documents the band’s first decade in all its despair and glory. Based on their extensive discography, it combines facts and confabulation from the Legendary Pink Dots and close associates. With unique images and an exclusive CD featuring Dots-songs from the 1980s selected by band members, Close Your Eyes, You Can Be A Space Captain is an incentive to sing while you may! Freek Kinkelaar (born 1966) hes been writing about music for publications such as Vital Weekly and Englands oldest music paper Record Collector Magazine, for nearly 30 years. He has contributed liner notes for several CD and LP releases by lebels such as Herkit and Cherry Red, and writes esseys on music.
