Shadow Weaver
Sometimes the Shadow Waver even doubts his own existence. The Legendary Pink Dots' twelfth album, Shadow Weaver, is part one of a two-part series which explores the psychic inner world of the album's central character - any resemblance to Camus' "Nausea" is purely unintentional. Edward Ka-Spel's singular capacity to trace the mystical journey of the Shadow Weaver is, as always, matched perfectly by the DOTS' mastery of psychedelic sound designs. For over a decade the Dots have continued to quiet…

ZNR was the French duo of Hector Zazou and Joseph Racaille (hence, Zazou 'n' Racaille) active in the mid to late '70s.

Gialorgues
*Comes in a CD-sized papersleeve album replica (gatefold), with obi-strip and insert of notes mostly in Japanese..2024 stock* "Debut album released from this French outfit which has reached "cult status".
