Hallo Herr Adler Ich Habe Sie Im Fernsehen Gesehen. Es hat Mir Gut Gefallen
*2022 stock* On his first Gagarin release, Gunter Adler, formerly known as the vicious violinist of Groenlandorchester, created a soil-resisting electronic razor-record in his search for Miss Amanda Lear's true gender. He didn't even need to pay bounties for the cover girls who he fetched from Paris Moulin Rouge. While unpacking the goods, Gunter was suddenly overwhelmed by two hungry hyenas that he would never get rid of again. Hypnotized by the new sound they asked him for a hot bath in order …
Brezel Göring / Barom One
Split LP of Brezel Göring and Japanese noise pop band Barom One. Göring, prime minister of Stereo Total and Count of Sinister Forests, where he creates his wacky scratchy minimal electro punk, pleases our filthy fantasies with swinging moods, from new wave disko to distorted Hawaii shuffle to fucked up Bollywood crash music. Barom One from Tokio create a blend of Euro-Disko-Gabba-Trash and pure noise with hysteric voices and catchy melodies. “Das ist eine anstrengende Schallplatte, Felix” says F…
Scarred For Life 2
Tip! Following on from last December’s sold out “Scarred For Life Volume One” CD and the subsequent clamour for a vinyl version, here we bring you a second volume of TV themes for the shows that might have been, or actually never were. An unashamedly hauntological deep dive into an alternative 70s/80’s where our viewing reality was slightly warped. Gauzy memories of our early interactions with the TV, long buried, but remaining in the periphery of our childhood memories... The SFL Volume One tea…
Dead Air
Castles in Space presents the first ever vinyl release for Mordant Music’s landmark 2006 release “Dead Air”. Remastered for vinyl with all new artwork from Admiral Greyscale.
Mystery Fields
Tip! Phil Heeks delivers a stunning homage to ‘70s BBC LPs and vintage soundtrack compilations in this debut record from The British Stereo Collective. Although the Mystery Fields album cover has the look and feel of a BBC Radiophonic Workshop release, the album itself is a wider nod to various TV theme compilations that Phil grew up with in the 1970s and early 1980s, including the classic Geoff Love releases and the BBC themes and sound effects albums. What comes across most is the love and aff…
Mirror Stage
Castles in Space is thrilled to present Luke Requena’s debut solo album, “Mirror Stage”. As the Lacanian title suggests, it is a collection of meditations and self-reflection translated into sonic explorations of the space that connects the macrocosm and the microcosm. Inspired largely by Tarkovsky’s film Solaris, the making of Mirror Stage was a musical journey of internal struggle across subconscious landscapes. Requena is a composer and multi-instrumentalist based in Vancouver, BC. Although h…
Two Knocks For Yes
In every story of things that go bump in the night, there are two possibilities. One, that it's a hoax. Two, that there is something going on beyond the grasp of the human mind". And so begins 'Two Knocks for Yes', Black Channels' radiophonic exploration into the poltergeist phenomenon, initially released in 2015 by Castles in Space on a limited edition cassette. This new remastered vinyl edition presents the same mix of real life stories of paranormal activity with otherworldly vibrations and o…
The Flow Across Borders - The Remixes
The idea for a remix LP came about following the incredibly positive reception that greeted “The Flow Across Borders” upon its release in may last year. After the services of The Orb and Richard Norris were secured by the label, Frazer and Ali asked some of their favourite artists on Castles in Space to contribute remixes for the project, which subsequently grew into a wonderful overview of both the scope and diversity of the band’s output and the skill and sensitivity of the remixers. Frazer: “…
Teliffusion
“Teliffusion” is the first new Concretism album for three years - his first full album since 2018’s classic “For Concrete and Country”.
Eternal Return
St Leonard’s premier manipulator of drones, loops and echoes delivers his most buzzed out, kosmische and beat driven work to date in a deluxe white vinyl album release for Castles in Space. Kieran explains the genesis and production of his masterwork: “Eternal Return was unusual for me in that I actually set out to make an album, rather than find myself with a set of tunes that evolved into a project. “The “Eternal Return” is a concept I have been inspired by before. However it clicked with me i…
Live • 2020

Future Rave Memory
Richard Fearless follows his critically acclaimed psycho-geographical techno masterpiece ‘Deep Rave Memory’ with its companion album ‘Future Rave Memory’. Across titanium kosmische, industrial ambience, weightless acid and dark drone, this new record is an instrument of evocative wonder and heavy emotion. A dystopian ambient album and work of modernist meditation set firmly in an era when humanity is reckoning with its outsized place in the natural world, a process which may evoke humility, defi…
Malar
Big Tip! Uwalmassa shape their relationship with various forms of musical heritage into technical and stylish forms on Malar, marrying acoustic sonics with a contemporary outlook that reflects their Indonesian identity; evolving, mutating, and scavenging traditions to draw parallels to dance music, and to test the adaptability and flexibility of those sounds. Here the collective go dark and deep in their first album-length collaboration with Mana, casting long shadows and moving snake style at s…

We have an awesome Soft Cell seven-inch to accompany the issue too. Marc and Dave have always been in a league of their own. Their take on the northern soul classic 'Tainted Love' is one of those tracks you recognise within seconds, but there is so much more to Soft Cell than this …
Eternal Now
Something of a sequel to Eternal Rhythm, his classic meeting of free jazz and world music from five years prior, Eternal Now found Don Cherry entering the studio for the tiny Sonet label, once again with members of the European avant-garde scene (this time from Sweden).
This time around, though, the focus swings decidedly to the world-folk end of things: The only standard Western instrument is the piano, featured on only two of the five pieces (one of which is a non-traditional, African-styled r…
For Pitch Division
