Album Info & Review
Legendary Pink Dots are back with a new great concept album.
This is first Volume of a complex story about conspiracy, magic, and spirituality. Minimal synths, guitars, syncopated rhythms that are making weird, psychedelic and transcendental noises which are of course accompanied by the distinctive voice of Ka-Spel. Lying on your sofa, pumping up the volume and just dream away on their ethereal sounds.
10 to the Power of 9 is a dark and exceptional trip into their warped and bizarre musical psyche.
For sure one of the best Concept album of the Band. - Rustblade Records There are 10 people who run the World. They are all male and presidents, magnates and high priests all do their bidding. The 10 live in villas in the remotest part of the Himalayas- a place that absolutely NO – ONE would ever stumble upon. Although the 10 live in such close proximity to each other, they choose to have meetings in the back room of a small office in London. That’s where the decisions are made. That’s where the wars begin, that’s where the dice are tossed across the table to establish who wins, who loses, who lives, who dies.
The classic conspiracy theory to end them all and I listened ,open-mouthed , hair falling into my eyes . It was maybe 1976 when I heard this first. You are right to snigger at my naivety. I listened and twisted this story around inside my head , and it did indeed seem completely unbelievable. Now of course it’s 2014, and Im older and wiser and I have to laugh at myself too. Now I know wasn’t a theory. Now I know it’s true - Edward- Ka-spel Another instalment in the hugely expansive catalogue of the Legendary Pink Dots, 10 To The Power of 9 gathers together two volumes originally released on vinyl in coloured editions of 499 copies. Mixing Edward Ka-Spel's mythologizing and visionary storytelling on a playful mixture of electronic based songs peppered with atmospherics and wayward meandering sound excursions, 10 To The Power of 9 is based on a Ka-Spel constructed conspiracy theory about 10 men who rule the world from secret hideouts in the Himalayas but direct the world from meetings held in a backroom in London. The entire concept echoes the conspiracy theories concerning Davos, Bilderberg and The Trilateral Commission - and dare I say it the "new world order" - where representatives of the elite, including academics, business leaders, and politicians, gather to debate the world's agenda and the big issues of the day.
The scene is set on 'Ten O'er Nine' where in a backroom of an office in London, one of the 10 seats lies empty. With gentle diction Ka-Spel relates the impact of the absence of one of the elite member over crunchy textures, slow guitar twang and washes of dreamy electronics. One of the highlights of 10 To The Power of 9 comes early in the form of 'The Virgin Queen' which throbs to a whimsical rubbery thumping rhythm riddled with elastic twang. Ka-Spel is in fine form here, as he sings in his customary nasally whine of an unnamed monarch who unleashed war setting "brother against brother".
Much of 10 To The Power of 9 is taken by sound excursions like the industrial atmospherics of 'Primordial Soup' replete with metallic percussive crashes and Ka-Spel's indistinct harmonies. The hallucinogenic 'Malice' is spliced with sped-up Pinky and Perky type vocals of subverted nursery rhymes over fried electronics and errant stabbing synths, travelling though synthwork before the Dots go all Krautrock on 'Freak Flag' with a collage of samples and open-ended space rock guitar riffing.
There are slight diversions throughout, such as the pulsing electro-pop of 'Your Humble Servant' which is given a sinister edge by Ka-Spel's treated whisperings. Things get slightly more dramatic on 'Feeding Time', which on vinyl closes the first volume, where Ka-Spel over frosted tones, bleeps and sound squiggles signals the intent: "we're here to please" with a need for variety and showbiz, which in its references to music hall styles displays a distinct Englishness which characterises much of the Legendary Pink Dots discography. "It's feeding time" he continues fuelling the concept, before settling into an uneasy subdued atmosphere.
Volume 2 opens with 'Olympus 2020' with deep tones uttering a monologue intoning - "and the meek shall inherit the earth: the dirt, the ash, the crust, the dust, the stench...."- personifying the mood of the discontented masters, ensconced in their mountaintop, over effects and suitably serene keyboards. The warbling tones and disembodied piano notes of 'Open Season' are drenched in atmo-synths, where Ka-Spel in a restrained sneer obliquely revisits 'The Virgin Queen' in lyrics alluding to "targets" with a snare drum echoing dub techniques. 'Room For Two' is an atmospheric electronic piece, laden with a dusty stylus sound, where couched in childlike melodies, Ka-Spel sings of a haven, a solace, far removed from the clutches of the ruling elite, while whispered mutterings merge with drifting atmospherics culminating with beckoning voices: "please come home" before the looped ending of "I can't find him on the internet".
10 To The Power of 9 finishes on 'The Elevator', an expansive experimental sound collage combing samples, angelic choirs (which hover over much of the album's tracks giving it an epic cinematic edge), disembodied piano chords and electronic treatments. It's an apt closer, since much of this is innocuous and ephemeral. The Dots have produced much more focussed work, and even here the concept is hard to discern, given that both volumes are awash with fleeting moments of sound. As I write this, an expanded edition of The Legendary Pink Dots' seminal release The Maria Dimension has just been released making it difficult to recommend this confusing new release. I've got a lot of time for the Legendary Pink Dots but despite the occasional good track 10 To The Power of 9 left me feeling slightly underwhelmed which is a rare response to a release from the Dots. - compulsiononline.com
