Caste O' Graye Skreeëns (2023 Remaster)

by Edward Ka-Spel

RTW This has always been one of my favorite Ka-Spel solo releases, one of the first where he eschews pop songwriting altogether (minus a surprise sea shanty or two) in favor of a full-length cinematic journey. While further scrutiny reveals it to be numerous parts strung together in a way that has become typical of him, those parts in this case hold together extremely well. When listening, I really feel like I’m on the bow of a ship heading out to the depths of the dark ominous ocean at nighttime. Favorite track: Our Captain's Eyes Part 1.

about

‘Caste o’ Graye Skreeens’ was the first album in a trilogy loosely alluding to seafaring adventures.
As a child I was a little obsessed by the legend of “The Flying Dutchman” and it was definitely
at the back of my mind as this album from the the start of the millennium was painstakingly constructed.
The main piece ‘Our Captain’s Eyes’ pays tribute to Procol Harum’s ‘A Salty Dog’ , a song that resonated deeply
when I was young and makes me cry to this day.
Sadly “Caste” was seemingly doomed from the beginning. Perhaps the 53 minutes duration of the piece frightened people off
but it was also one of the last releases by World Serpent before the company folded. Consequently it probably never reached
a single shop.
Nevertheless a couple of boxes of the original cd are in stock at Chez Dots.
The 2023 remaster splits “Our Captain’s Eyes” into five parts asI have to concede that my original concept was perhaps too
extreme. The beautiful cover is an original painting by Monadiki.

This was the LPDs' very first release. It's not a really an album in the traditional sense, and not as long as the other collections of early tracks that came out in 1981, but it's a great listen with a few rarities, including "O(ri)ffice," "Waiting for the Call/You 'n' Me," and "Frosty," all gloriously subversive but sweet-sounding indie pop tracks alongside weird noise like "It Rots Your Liver" and "The Chemical Playschool."
