Edward Ka-Spel – A Carrington Event (Digital/Cassette Album – 4mg Records)
The legendary Edward Ka-Spel, frontman of the Legendary Pink Dots, needs no introduction. For over 40 years, he has continuously released new works and collaborations, cementing his place as a prolific artist. This album, originally released in 2023 in digital and CDR formats, is now being reissued on cassette by Slovakian label 4mg Records. Musically, it’s unmistakably Edward Ka-Spel; his signature vocal timbre serves as the very essence of his artistry. This release showcases his remarkable range, offering a blend of freely danceable passages, Experimental explorations, and Cinematic soundscapes. In just 6 tracks, the album evokes a wide array of emotions and atmospheres. The opening song is an absolute treat, setting a captivating tone, while the more tormented closing track leaves a lasting impression. Once again, Ka-Spel demonstrates his inexhaustible creativity, delivering a work that is as diverse as it is compelling. (Rating:7½).

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
