Tanith and the Lion Tree

I heard someone mention this somewhere on the board, can't
remember where though. I just bought 'Crushed Velvet
Apocalypse' by the Legendary Pink Dots and I lovelovelove it
- I've never heard anything else even remotely similar.
Would you absolutely recommend that I pick up
'Tanith...'(assuming it isn't/wasn't a limited pressing)?
What other Legendary Pink Dots or related music would you
suggest that I might like?
-I also just ordered current 93 : the seahorse rears to
oblivion; one of my favorite songs of all time, glad to
finally see it available in proper format. 48£ is a bit
steep for a 3 song vinyl, but there were initially only 150
copies for sale and it comes with a print of an original
painting done by David Tibet.

I mentioned Tanith and the Lion Tree calling it the most
beautiful album ever...If you are a fan of Edward Ka'Spel's
vocals lyrics etc..then yes by all means..it's even more
experimental than LPD..but in a very cool way...
i.e it sounds very current and IDMish as oppsoed to LPD's
Pink Floydisms...
Crushed Velevet Apocalypse is a great album..I have that as
well as "Any Day Now" and "Premonition"..Crushed Velvet is
almost like a continuation/culmination of Any Day Now and
Premonition...

If you are getting into all of this I also highly recommend
Tear Garden which is Half LPD, Half Skinny Puppy/downloads
band members..and is extremely cool.."Centre of the Bullet"
and "The Last Man to Fly" are very close to Legendary Pink
Dots..only a slight more emphasis on Wigged out Electronics

'Current and IDMish' What do you mean? That description
makes it sound sort of sterile and colorless..
I have heard of Tear Garden, I'll have to give them a listen
some time. Thanks for the recommendations.

nope..I meant focused on Ambience and Synths and busy
clattering percussion etc....nothing can sound Sterile or
Colourless with Ka'Spel Voice..here...

Mmm... Edward Ka-Spel. This is one of the best bands I've
heard in a while, can't stop listening to Just a Lifetime.
Those neat classical keys, whatever they're called.

Ka-Spel and the Dots each have their own MP3.com page. Now
that's a superstar band.

I'm going put an order in for LPD's 'The Maria Dimension'
and 'Nemesis On-line' at Strangefortune sometime soon.. I
wonder why it took me so long to discover this band. Even
The Wire rarely ever mentions them which seems strange given
all the other obscure artists they cover i.e. Coil, Current
93, Nurse With Wound, Volcano the Bear, Christoph Heeman,
etc.

Ophecks, download 'Princess Coldheart' and 'The Pleasure
Palace' - Two more of my favorite songs off of Crushed
Velvet Apocalypse.

I got the whole Velvet album already, I was so enamoured
with it. It makes me all warm and gooey!
