Thanks for the interview; first time i saw them was at the tinyUbu Club in Rennes (France) in the beginning of 1988... They were the "classic" six member line-up, and extremely competent on (a tiny) stage .
Edward Ka-Spel has been the voice of creative joy and humor in my ears since high school. I didn't know that was his mother's maiden name, after all these years! Figured it was some jive Stephen Stapleton made up.
I was always aware of LPD but had never had strong feelings until I saw him last year, at the aforementioned very cold show...and it blew me away...now I'm going back and enjoying the recorded music
Thanks for the shout-out both of you! The new EK-S LP I'm releasing on sister label Lumberton Trading Company, 'Tales from the Trenches', has just had test pressings approved. Hopefully out in October. Honestly a pleasure to work with Edward, too. One of the true diamonds around - Richo x
What a great interview. I love Edward’s voice and lyrics. “Romulus and Venus” by The Tear Garden is such a gorgeous example of his mastery in both. A sublime song. Thanks for this, Dereck.
Brilliant as always, and indeed an inspiration…and I have to say that the interview style is atypical, more as a hearty conversation. Hats off to the two of you…
A modern shamanic performer. Seen him and LPD multiple times, special and unique each one, with him giving 200% whether in front of a dozen or hundreds. Just like the man says, the few was THE show which was the most fun and I'll never forget.
Watched. In all seriousness, very nice, an important artist, who doesn't get his voice out that much, outside of the poetry. Oh, and it is not PeeWee Hermann, but Kafka, I've always assumed, which goes very well with the theme of that album.
Asylum is near the top for me, but if you open the gates of band, I would go with To Be an Angel Blind, or Last Man to Fly. For Dots, I've drifted toward the four or five Golden Age era albums, over the Tower Asylum years. But hell they are all really good.
That was informative, relaxed, intimate and a joy to watch Dereck.

Thanks for sharing Dereck, currently watching it. Very good quality by the way
You're a very good interviewer with great questions and showing sympathy.

Great interview Edward is such an inspiration, a true artist
First time I heard LPD I knew it was my kind of music!
☆☆☆☆☆ level interviews
KEEP THEM COMING
Good afternoon Dereck.... thank you for another solid share, and the back n forth is so so interesting and a learning experience also! ☮️🙏🏻✨🎶
Nice interview Dereck! Thanks. My favorite LPD album is Maria Dimension. I saw them only once in Montréal , think it was in 1997. Cheers
Really great chat!

Always lovely interviews Dereck!
Fantastic. My top 3 is always changing but Any Day Now is almost always there. Quite addicted to Ghost Logik nowadays. Thanks Derek.
Great guy! Nice chat Dereck. Thank you. Saw him live back in the 80s. I agree with you Asylum is one of his best albums.
asylum for me is his best
