Fantasy
On Fantasy, Piero Umiliani resurfaces four decades late with a perfectly preserved final statement: a 1983 library dream where analog synths, light orchestration and soft rhythms drift between science‑fiction shimmer and easy‑listening warmth, closing his universe on a quietly visionary note.
Kino Variants 1967-1986
Continuing their longstanding explorations of unexpected and adventurous territories of sound, Von - the imprint run by filmmaker and sound artist Carlos Casas and cofounded with Nico Vascellari - is pleased to present Kino Variants 1967-1986, the first-ever collection to illuminate the vast body of work created by the Uzbek composer Rumil Vildanov during the second half of the 20th Century. Offering a rare glimpse of liberated creative spirit operating behind the Iron Curtain, this engrossing d…
The Moth
"A friend of mine told me he had visited the place that Cancer House live and record. He said they jammed together all afternoon. In the moment, in the zone so to speak, he became more and more convinced that what they were making together was the best music he had ever been involved with. As the afternoon drifted by, second by revelatory second, he began making grandiose plans to release the recording. By the time it was dark outside the windows he imagined it as a future lost classic, a key li…
Space Elements Vol. I
2025 stock This is the third in Rafael Toral's Space Program series of releases -- his long-term research project launched in 2004, through which he has unearthed an innovative approach and a complete re-thinking of how electronic music is conceived and experienced. Using custom experimental instruments, Toral performs electronic music concerned with "phrasing and swing" and performing strange melodies with physicality, movement and gesture in flux. The result is something you're unlikely to hav…
The Reinvention of Romance
“The Reinvention of Romance,” a new work for percussion and cello that examines the care and empathy that emerge when two lives share space. Over the course of 90 minutes, a series of repeating patterns creates a peculiar kind of harmony in which two musicians are rarely “playing together” but are nonetheless intimately bonded. The Knoxville-based duo Two-Way Street (Ashlee Booth and Adam Lion) commissioned Hennies to compose “a very long piece;” for this recording they step into its two intertw…
Savage Sons Of Ya Ho Wa
Musically, YaHoWa13 go it on their own, with Octavius, Sunflower, Djinn, and Rhythm collaborating with Electron, who supplies powerful lead vocals. What's here is a collection of powerful rock songs that will echo in your consciousness, like the opening track, 'Edge of a Dream,' and the refrain 'I want to see/What's going on.' The guttural nature of Electron's vocal sound may recall the name of Beefheart to some, and Electron is occupying the same unconsciousness, free in the communal slipstream…
Ella
With solid training as a classical musician, Sophie Agnel took a close interest in modern jazz before committing in the early Nineties to the shifting, deliciously uncertain ground of free improvisation, thanks to her fascination for the powers of expression displayed by a few great keyboard-heretics such as Keith Tippett, Fred Van Hove or Christine Wodrascka. She began reworking the prepared piano techniques imagined by John Cage and transformed her instrument into a sort of extended piano. Com…
For the Birds
Edition of 250. Deluxe edition + insert. For eighteen months, between 1984 and 1985, Patrick Lysaght played flute, strings, and percussion inside the Rainforest Birdhouse at the Rio Grande Zoo in Albuquerque, New Mexico. His audience and collaborators: 150 birds of 42 species.
The result is one of the earliest and most radical documents of interspecies improvisation. Predating the current wave of sound ecology by decades, For The Birds sits comfortably alongside the biophonic research of Bernie …
Flirty Ghost
Flirty Ghost is an evocative LP by Rachel Kitchlew, a jazz and contemporary harpist known for pushing the boundaries of her instrument. A blend of jazz, ambient, and experimental sounds, the album was crafted in a spontaneous, deeply personal atmosphere, recorded late at night in the cozy, smoky setting of SFJ headquarters.
Inspired by everything from Henry Mancini to Dorothy Ashby, this LP captures an eerie, playful essence, like a ‘flirty ghost’, while celebrating exploration and self-expressi…
Il Calore Animale
*Edition of 200* Ginevra Bompiani is most likely unknown for fans of experiential music. In Italian literature and thinking, however, she is highly regarded writer, editor, translator, essayist, and academic, whose fiction, particularly, is informed by linguistics, feminism, and literary theory, and verges on the surreal and the fantastic, making her interdisciplinary effort, ‘Il Calore Animale’, collaborating with two of the most singular voices in contemporary experimental music - Caterina Ba…
Zoomachia Disc 1
*Edition of 200* First emerging during the mid 2000s in the field of experimental electronics, the Italian born, Berlin based artist, Francesco Cavaliere captivated us back in 2021 with ‘Viridescens’, his brilliant duo with Tomoko Sauvage issued by Marionette. With a handful of noteworthy releases having appeared since, he now returns with ‘Zoomachia Disc 1’, a remarkable fable bridging the territories of spoken word and electronic and electroacoustic composition.
For the better part of the last…
Crystallization
First issued in 1978 as the second Vanity Records release, Crystallization was the sole album by SAB, a teenage prodigy who vanished to follow Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. A mineral, slow-building work of proto-ambient electronics, sitar and piano. Reissued from the master tapes by EM Records.
Astral Twins
Tip! Maybe it was inevitable that Vilhelm Bromander and Fredrik Rasten would find each other. A symbiotic musical alliance of suggestive combinatory magic that stretches back to the interstitial two day space that separates their dates of birth and manifests here as the movement between ‘perfect’ or ‘just’ intonation and the ragged, psychoactive energy of the slippages from and towards that togetherness that render otherwise simple patterns or generally understood repetitions as wildly other and…
Rhythm Immortal
Carrier’s debut album features eight elegantly rude arrangements that dance in negative space between Photek’s frictional syncopations, Rhythm & Sound’s dubwise minimalism and Torsten Pröfrock’s fractured dynamics, bolstered on two tracks by contributions from Voice Actor & Memotone, summoning a noirish, jazzier frisson to his signature metrics and temporalities.
Way To
Way To, the debut album by Eero Savela, released August 2025, marks a persuasive, understated move into the spotlight for the Helsinki trumpeter. Blending the sinuous pulse of '70s jazz-funk with a modern Scandinavian restraint, the album—clocking in at just 37 minutes—opts for dialogue over display, its six tracks assembled as layered conversations between empathetic musicians and understated lyricism.
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…
Le Temps des Figures du Soleil Noir
With Le Temps des Figures du Soleil Noir, Unglee Izi extends his shadowy electronic cosmos into a four‑hour box set: a slow‑burning, ascetic immersion where time dissolves into glacial pulses, spectral overtones and a solitary mind listening to its own echo.
Chromophobia
A record made for the ones we lost. Oli Heffernan returns with his fourth album for Riot Season - an expansive double LP that carries with it a deep personal history and years of unfinished business.
The earliest sessions date back to 2018 at the IDI in Middlesbrough, engineered by longtime collaborator Nigel Crooks over the course of three weekends. Then life happened. The material was shelved, left to gather dust for reasons that accumulated and compounded. When Crooks passed away in 2023, com…
Nothing Is New In This Room Except The Dust
With Nothing in this room is new except the dust, Ivan The Tolerable returns not to a room but to a weather-beaten tract of being — a north-facing interior where wind has a voice and the light is a thin animal nosing the corners. The trio who forged Black Water, Brown Earth and An Orphan Form — Oli Heffernan, Mees Siderius, and Elsa Van Der Linden — move here with the patience of creatures that have learned the seasons of each other’s blood. If the earlier records surveyed land, this one digs in…
The Next From Field Commander
Recorded in a bedroom with classical guitar and 4-track tape, The Next From Field Commander is Australian folk of rare emotional density. Layered vocals, inhabited silences, a voice that lingers.
