The Tear Garden project is Skinny Puppy's cEvin Key and Legendary Pink Dots' Edward Ka-Spels ongoing side project. They sporadically release albums on Nettwerk records and to varying degrees of success. Actually they are still relatively unknown in the music world except for a few die hard SP and LPD fans who have ventured out. It's really a shame that the band hasn't reached a wider audience because Tear Garden is more accessible than the other two bands. It's a little more ambient and mellow but very intriguing and alot more psychedelic and trippy. The second track on here has a middle eastern flavour to it evoking opium induced images. As songs range from 5 minutes all the way to 12 you can understand the diversity of this collective. Ka-Spel's lyrics and voice are the highlight while cEVIN's music gets pushed into the background a bit more. A bit self indulgent but when you have this much talent it needs all the outlets it can get.
