SHIPPING OFFERED
‘The Blue Room’ is a CD of music by The Legendary Pink Dots, an Anglo-Dutch band whose style spans such genres as avant-garde, synth pop, neo-psychedelic, experimental, post-punk, ambient and goth rock. Critics have praised this album for its ‘dangerously disoriented electronics’, harpsichord drones, pulsing loops, grand storytelling, disarming ‘music-box reveries’, apocalyptic relationships, ‘demons of the mind’, ‘mosquito munch fandango’ (a song title but also a fun phrase to say!), vampire suitors and other creatures of the night. Forming in 1980, the band formed in London, then moved to Amsterdam a few years later. Its leading singer-songwriter, Edward Ka-Spel, has garnered a concomitant cult following through his solo projects too. In many respects, his style reminds me of David Bowie and the lesser known but brilliant indie rock troubadour Robyn Hitchcock. He’s also drawn comparisons with Syd Barrett. Much as English wit can sting, his voice carries a wry, sardonic edge. As a harlequin may be both comic and tragic, his tone is cheeky, mournful and a little snide all at once, with the twinge of a leer. This expression extends into the lyrical imagery, which can be phantasmagoric, like a haunted carnival, sometimes with nursery rhyme ditties set against ghostly sonic gloom, like taunts, perhaps evoking bipolar circus rides of love and luck, or satirising society’s hypocrisy. The instrumentation is eclectic, produced with riotous flair. Since last century we’ve collected a full CD tower of LPD albums, of which this one is staunchly representative. I’ve chosen to beam it here mainly for its blue colour scheme and theme. Label: Soleilmoon. Release: 1998.

- The Art of Dragon Age Inquisition, preloved hardcover book‘The Art of Dragon Age Inquisition’ celebrates an immersive roleplaying fantasy of epic scale, so to speak. This magnificent hardcover book created by Bioware, published in 2014, is in very good condition, brimming with never-before-seen art. There are slight crinkles at the corners. My favourite aspect of this tome is the spacious underworld, with its mossy rocks, tangled roots and grandeur, far more subtle than the more cartoonish style of some game illustrations.
