ALBUM OF THE DAY: The Legendary Pink Dots - The Maria Dimension (1991)



The Legendary Pink Dots are a difficult group to pin down, having produced dozens of albums since their inception in the early 80s.  What began as an experimental electronics and minimal wave group, centered around LPD founders Edward Ka-Spel and Phil Knight (aka The Silverman), eventually evolved into ambient psychedelia during the late 80s and early 90s, the period that is considered to be The Dots' most accessible.  "The Maria Dimension" is often heralded as the pinnacle of that era, a transcendent and otherworldly album that combines ambient space-rock with the softer, mystical elements of Coil and Current 93.
