Seat68 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 1 hour ago, bickster said: So in a moment of madnees last month I joined the Castles In Space label's subscription service for £15 a month A Label of electronic artists producing library music, modern kosmiche, imaginary film music etc And the first package they've sent me I finally got hold of today, including the introductory bonuses there's 4 albums (one a double) and a 7" single. I've only paid them two months so far, not bad for £30 Everything is superbly packaged, coloured vinyl and comes in protective sleeves of one description or other. Usually they also contain a booklet with pictures to give you a greater sense of the concept. I'm really quite impressed by the whole concept First one I'm listening to is by Everyday Dust - Deadham Ridge (Original Soundtrack) "A scientific team is exploring the vast network of tunnels in the ice caves of Deadham Ridge, British Columbia, but their survey takes an unexpected turn with the discovery of strange and eerily large insect eggs in the icy chambers. A laboratory is set up but the examination is soon cut short. A colossal landslide has trapped the expedition deep in the labyrinth of caves. It's bad timing - the inhabitants of the eggs are beginning to wake from their icy slumber..." I signed up for a vinyl subscription. Then cancelled. Griff who I mentioned was excellent of not short. The other album was Ed Sheeran. I had told them what I liked and from that they decided Ed Sheeran was what I needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s all a very specific narrow group of genres and the vinyl isn’t available elsewhere. You also get access to the whole library to stream or download. I had a good listen to it all on Bandcamp before I signed up. One bloke called Colin runs the whole label from his house. It’s very much an enthusiast thing, not at all corporate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Getting really into Nilüfer Yanya, especially the Miss Universe album. Melt is a beautiful song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted July 23, 2022 Moderator Share Posted July 23, 2022 Another one from yesterdays bundle, a brand new release by Kosmonaut - Transgressive Transmissions This one is fantastic. German style Kosmische electronica, sort of Tangerine Dream meets Delia Derbyshire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Not played any albums for over a month or so, but plenty been bought including this US import. For 6 quid I reckon I got a decent deal. Not heard this album before, but if it’s anything like their other stuff I’m sure I’ll enjoy it. Happy Saturday folks . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) Another US import by looks of it looking at the sleeve and inner. Again won at starting bid of £6. Edited July 23, 2022 by Rugeley Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This certain seller who I’ve been buying off on eBay for whatever reason he doesn’t seem to have many people bidding on his items for sale. Not sure why as he’s got a good rating . He starts most stuff off at 6 quid . There’s another who starts a lot of stuff off at a couple of quid and I’ve bagged a few of them for a few quid each. Obviously they will have certain stuff starting off at 30 quid, but the normal stuff they start off cheap. I’m getting some very good albums which are first press or imports for just a few quid. Condition varies from excellent to a bit worn , but I don’t buy anything that’s too tatty. EBay is where it’s at for me personally . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did better than that for 30p though Depeche Mode Blasphemous Rumours 12" - The version with No Barcode, No Pressing Plant in the runouts and yellow and white text on the labels. Seems to be the second most sought after version, worth more like £8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
