The Legendary Pink Dots - Any Day Now

The Legendary Pink Dots are a mythical band that began in London, but relocated to Amsterdam in 1984. They are unique in their own right, melding together classic krautrock influences (mainly Can and Neu!) with Syd Barrett's psychedelic explorations. Newcomers may find their discography of over 50 releases daunting at first. Never fear! Despite the large number of releases, rarely are they ever boring or fall into cliché, and manage to explore new soundscapes with every album. Some of the best stuff they done is in their Amsterdam period. The 1980 - 1984 cassette releases tend to be rougher with poor instrumental/sound quality, but the lyrics and arrangements are well-crafted.

They're still together working on numerous side projects, most famous being Edward Ka-Spel's collaboration with cEvin Key of Skinny Puppy called The Tear Garden.
