The narrative is one that takes the listener on a journey through the rolling hillsides of England.  The record is given extra dimensions and texture through the deployment of woodwind instruments at various points which add a real sense of pastoral energy to the work.  Picking out highlights is always a tricky task when a record is so conceptually strong and consistently rewarding but let's have a go. ‘In The Marsh’ beautifully juxtaposes reverbed and spectral piano with bright synth arpeggios and distant woodblock percussion, whilst its glorious counterpoint ‘On The Heath’ is as inquisitive and enigmatic as the first hare of spring.  ‘The Green Leaves of Shilden Hall’ are verdant and lush, propelled by some lovely flute and clarinet accompaniment adding an ivy-covered gentility to proceedings.  ‘In The Grove’ with its spectral saxophone evokes images of solemn hillside sunsets and spiritual reflections on past lives. Badby ’80 deploys slabs of heavy electrical sound stretching out into the middle distance, while ‘Under Wychwood’ is driven by a rugged bass riff that speeds along country lanes and dazzles with full headlights before skidding to a halt and depositing the listener at our journey’s end of ‘On The Wold’.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Castles in Space","offers":[{"title":"Green LP.","offer_id":50405582471499,"sku":"2170353","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Cotswold_Stone_94eef449_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726579428"},{"product_id":"northern-minimalism-3","title":"Northern Minimalism 3","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNorthern Minimalism 3\u003c\/i\u003e, the latest album from Mat Handley performing as Pulselovers, is a deeply personal “love letter to South Yorkshire, or at least to Doncaster and Sheffield”, not just the urban environment but the region’s post-punk and electronic-pop legacies.Inspired by the concept of spreading a project over multiple formats taken from Virgin Prunes’ ‘A New Form of Beauty’, this is the first full album in Pulselovers’ on-going ‘Northern Minimalism’ series following a 7” and 10” release on other labels over the past few years.Taking a different approach than the rurally-inspired ‘Cotswold Stone’ album, ‘Northern Minimalism 3’ delivers a sprawling, genre-hopping release that is less focused on melody but explores suburban drones and industrial rhythms.“The term “Northern Minimalism” was coined by Simon Berkovitz of Sensory Leakage, who released my “Live at Doncaster College” tape in 2020,” adds Handley.“I loved the description and wanted to use it to pay tribute to the early electronic and post-punk sounds I was listening to in the first two or three years of the 1980s, particularly The Human League (mk1), Cabaret Voltaire, John McGeoch (Magazine) and Eric Random.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Castles in Space","offers":[{"title":"White LP","offer_id":50978148843851,"sku":"2029836","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Northern_Minimalism_3_9da583c3_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1734269024"},{"product_id":"northern-minimalism-4","title":"Northern Minimalism 4","description":"\u003cp\u003eSouth Yorkshire-inspired electronic artist Pulselovers returns with a bold new chapter in the acclaimed Northern Minimalism series. What began as a deeply personal tribute to the region’s industrial, post-punk and synth-pop legacies has now evolved into a sprawling, 20-track remix project released via Castles in Space's new CD imprint, Lunar Module. The seeds for this release were planted when Sheffield trio Polyhymns delivered a mind-bending remix of Pulselovers’ track Kitchen in 2019—well before NM3 was even completed. From there, a full reimagining of the album slowly began to form, enlisting a dream lineup of collaborators from the extended Castles in Space network. The double CD includes remixes from a stellar cast of underground electronic artists including Polypores, Field Lines Cartographer, Fred und Luna, Apta, Grey Frequency, The Heartwood Institute, Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan and more. These reinterpretations span dark ambient, haunted synth-pop, minimal techno, kosmische and beyond—yet each remix holds onto the distinctive, coaldusted core of SoYo’s electronic heritage. The release follows a run of acclaimed volumes in the Northern Minimalism series, with Volumes 1 \u0026amp; 2 reissued as a 12” 45rpm mini album via the CiS Subscription Library in 2023. Northern Minimalism 3 also earned a spot on Gideon Coe’s BBC 6 Music Favourites of the Year list and charted at #36 on the Official Download Chart. This release is dedicated to Andy (Polyhymns) and Rainer (Fred und Luna).
