People & Industry Special Edition
Castles in Space are thrilled to present this deluxe special edition of the second Warrington Runcorn New Town Development Plan album, "People & Industry". Originally released in September 2021, this is a beautiful new edition featuring four bonus tracks on a second 12"disc which have never been released on vinyl before.
“It’s been amazing to revisit this album”, says Gordon Chapman-Fox. “It’s one that people didn't get chance to hear, and it was overlooked following the success of the debut alb…
Windmills
*150 copies limited edition* On the website fancymoon.com, CON himself describes 'Windmills' as Electro Cosmic Metal Industrial. It comprises 33 tracks and represents a continuous body of electronic music. The album was recorded and performed in the same vein as 'III Kugeln', serving as its predecessor, and is made up of four “solo electric pieces”: Sack, Turbine, Raumknoten, and Fenster. As FdW noted in his review of 'III Kugeln', this is not ambient, not dance music, not musique concrète, not …
Upwards
*150 copies limited edition* The music on 'Upwards' is constantly surprising and as always, it's expansive and incredibly captivating. The work comprises 19 "electric miniature" compositions, and one could say they all lead nowhere – and this is true, because CON has always valued the journey itself rather than the destination. It is intensely rich and beautifully remastered by Guillermo Pizarro at Vitória Régia Studios.
Teleportations
Tip. Teleportations is the debut solo LP by Dan Leavers (Danalogue), known for The Comet Is Coming and Soccer96. Conceived and performed entirely by him as a continuous, journey-like piece, the album transforms personal loss and upheaval into a warm, playful science-fiction voyage that moves through celestial ambience, kosmische shimmer, space disco, liquid jazz-funk and deep Detroit house. Sequenced as a single trip rather than separate songs, it invites listeners to join a self-styled “telepor…
Till Human Voices Wake Us
*150 copies limited edition* Originally released in 2014 on cassette and digital only, Till Human Voices Wake Us was the first album by the Iranian artist on Umor Rex. It became a key work in our catalog, and now, 12 years later, it is available on vinyl for the first time. This is the first in a series of four special, limited reissues to be released in 2026 to mark the 20th anniversary of Umor Rex.
Till Human Voices Wake Us comprises ten tracks with a clear and carefully structured script, bas…
Primal Forms
*300 copies limited edition* After their last album six years ago, "Primal Forms," the new album by Phantom Horse, finally arrives. The German duo of Ulf Schütte and Niklas Dommaschk have long established a reputation for expertly crafted, hypnotically slow-burning electronic music, and we do not hesitate to say that "Primal Forms" stands among the epitomes of their discography. The sequencing of "Primal Forms" cannot be underestimated. It is an album in the classic sense. It demands to be liste…
Web Of Midnight
*100 copies limited edition* Corum’s Web of Midnight traces an astral cartography and psychic linkage between the psychosexual laboratories of Wilhelm Reich’s Orgonon in Rangely, Maine all the way to the Mount Teide Volcano on the Canary Islands. Different facets of the album were recorded in these charged locations causing the music to erupt with an orgasmic and volcanic force, a subconscious blast and discharge of etheric earth energy channeled through shimmering electronica. Babbling voices t…
Hungry Vortex
With Hungry Vortex, Polypores pushes his kosmische synth language into a delirious hybrid of polyrhythmic trance, cosmic jazz-prog and gently lysergic minimalism, four side‑long excursions that feel at once meticulously engineered and wildly feral. A hypnotic, deeply emotional capstone to a ridiculously fertile phase.
Particles, Peds & Pores
*200 copies limited edition* "Jaime Fennelly, as Mind Over Mirrors, makes music that pushes the known to the lip of the unknown, where it rocks precariously and in exhilaration. He scrambles the familiar and tweaks the comfortable, not through aggression, but a throbbing estrangement. When placed at a distance, these require longer reaches to grasp. The reward for this effort is an enlarged field of perspective, experience, and also of feeling. This is deeply feeling music to feel deeply.
In al…
Rr·concerrt
*150 copies limited edition* Like all concerts by Conrad Schnitzler, this one is unpredictable and always captivatingly beautiful. A masterfully crafted mix of four solo works, all located in close proximity to the RR album itself. There are few such works in the entire discography, and most of them are included in our top 100.
Memory
*150 copies limited edition* 'Memory' is a saturated, multifaceted poem, a work of sound art set against a backdrop of shimmering cosmic space. It is a sonic excursion into memory, reflecting both the light and the darkness of our consciousness. Moving forward and transcending many boundaries, Conrad Schnitzler remains true to the mood established at the very beginning of this 60-minute cinematic work.
DronosWalze / Dron
With DronosWalze / Dron, Conrad Schnitzler revisits and redefines the drone form, crafting a dual album that foregrounds his singular approach to electronic minimalism. These expansive pieces radiate immersion and mechanical elegance - each a testament to Schnitzler’s restless exploration and uncompromising sonic vision.
Robotica
Tip! Mac is an Italian cosmic courier who has been accompanying our souls on deep interstellar journeys for many years. His production is as vast as Jupiter's asteroids, but also of excellent quality, so we strongly recommend you to put on your space suit and venture into it without delay. The compositions of the album ROBOTICA date back to 1991. Mac retrieved them from space-time oblivion and re-recorded them in 2015.
Today HDK is proud to propose ROBOTICA album in cassette: a scrummy mix of ko…
Issue 124: Barry Gray (Magazine + 7" White)
For this month's Electronic Sound cover feature, we're taking a deep dive into the music of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's sci-fi TV shows, much of it the work of cult British composer Barry Gray. We're bundling the magazine with a superb six-track white vinyl EP featuring some of Gray's classic sci-fi theme tunes and incidental pieces too.
Gerry and Sylvia Anderson produced some of the most exciting children's television of the 1960s and 1970s. The list of their programmes – 'CAPTAIN SCARLET', '…
Drei Kugeln
*100 copies limited edition* Totally concentrated, this album captures the birth of new ideas almost every minute – each emerging, disappearing instantly, and making way for the next. Reminiscent of Elliott Sharp’s 'Phlogiston' and the works of Roland Kayn, it balances mystique with accessibility. A masterpiece and a true classic of electronic music.
RhythmiCon
*100 copies limited edition* Con's rhythmic explorations, carried out over 18 years from 1982, culminated in this full 66-minute album. A truly unique release, it stands apart from his other works, offering a distinct sonic experience. Intentionally simple – almost primitive – its rhythmic structures capture the musical atmosphere of the early '80s. Hypnotic, analog-driven, and now available for the first time on CD.
Tote Winkel
In spring 2022, Sankt Otten released their album “Symmetrie und Wahnsinn”, and now the next record is ready to enlighten our maltreated minds. “Tote Winkel” (Blind spots) is once again part of an album series with a geometric context, both creatively and musically. Stephan Otten and Oliver Klemm made productive use of 2021, which has been decelerated to the maximum by Corona. For the first time, an external studio was booked (Mühle der Freundschaft, Bad Iburg) and the pool of analog synthesizers…
Hymnen und Helden
Alongside with the release of the new album “Tote Winkel”, Sankt Otten will be delighting us with another limited vinyl bonus release. “Hymnen und Helden” (hymns and heroes) is a collection of cover versions created over the last few years. As the album title suggests, it pays homage to self-proclaimed musical hymns and heroes from the seventies and eighties.
Sankt Otten’s adaptation of David Bowies “Heroes” is equipped with warm Juno 106 sounds, ebow guitar and synthesizer pads. The German “He…
Issue 123: Cluster (Magazine + 7" White)
You probably don't need us to translate ELEKTRONISCHES DEUTSCHLAND for you. But to expand on that a little, we're heading back to the 1970s and a country then known as West Germany for this month's Electronic Sound cover story. We're bundling the issue with an exclusive orange vinyl seven-inch by kosmische pioneers Cluster too.
Our cover image is based on the artwork of the debut album from Harmonia, krautrock's first supergroup, and you will find five connected articles inside the magazine, inc…
The Pool
The Pool represents Apta's most focused and compelling release to date. Based on the transformative plunge of a psychedelic experience, it maps both tentative footsteps into the unknown and euphoric, melodic bliss. Recorded using a combination of modular synthesis, Arp Odyssey, bass, guitar, Elektron grooveboxes and (for the first time in Apta's recorded history) a hint of vocals. There are wisps of melody from the outset, woven through skittering modular synths and saturated bass guitar. But it…
