The Legendary Pink Dots 2025
Way way back in the early days I used to say a lot about 'The Terminal Kaleidoscope' , a concept comparing the fragile planet we live on to a drowning human being with life flashing before his or her eyes, the images constantly accelerating. It's 2024, a little over 2 decades since the turn of this unbearably turbulent century and the concept appears to have become an unlikely soap opera where we are the cast. Let's hang in there.....

SO LONELY IN HEAVEN - THE CREATION
'So Lonely in Heaven' is The Legendary Pink Dots' second album since the World stopped for a Global Pandemic.
With members scattered across three countries and two continents, our guilty confession is that quite a few Air Miles were consumed in its creation.
Ideas were spun across Cyberspace for months, but the magic happened collectively in small spaces with the tape running.
SO LONELY IN HEAVEN - THE MESSAGE
The machine is everything we are. It sees everything, hears everything, knows everything and feeds, speeds, drinks us down, spits us out - we lost control of it at the instant of its conception. You may cough, curse and die, but the machine will resurrect you without the flaws, at your peak, smiling from a screen, bidding someone in a lonely room to join you. It's an invitation from Heaven, where anyone can be anything they want to be, but it's a Nation of One.
You'll be everything we are. You'll be a shadow of yourself. You'll repeat yourself- endlessly. You'll be desperate for some kind of explanation .
You'll be lonely. So very lonely...
