Hi,
My first post here... I got a tip that our online shop was being discussed here!
Sorry for any of you disappointed by missing out on our copies of Extended. I can confirm someone bought four copies, and I do feel a bit naive now that I've found out how much they are going for on Discogs! Our last copies of Blue Moon Station also went quickly. I will be wiser in the future At least you know about our shop now
Our music shop is part of inSpiral lounge, run by those behind IDSpiral and Synergy Project, so we get a lot of our CDs direct from the artists. Sometimes this means that we have unusual and rare CDs.
We are still working on the website so there's plenty of layout problems we are aware of, but it is functional and you can listen to samples of most of the CDs. We are not a huge company, so can give you a bit of a personal service. If you want to know something about a CD just email me on kev at inspiralled dot net.
We have quite a few beatless CDs in stock. I would recommend Music For a Busy Head by Matt Coldrick of Green Nuns fame. Another one I found atmospheric was Erabus and Terror, although this is definitely not 'warm'! It tells the story of two ships who became icebound whilst looking for the northwest passage. You can practically feel the ice when you listen to it. The Council of Nine releases we have are all beatless. Again, not particularly 'warm' though.
I would be pleased to have any recommendations for stuff we haven't got. Music from the shop is played in our cafe/bar so beatless is losing out a bit as we need more uplifting music to get customers through the door! Hey, that makes me think of something we don't sell (and why not...?) that is beatless and uplifting and from one of our resident artists too... you must have heard of Rainbow Dome Music by Steve Hillage? some vintage chill definitely worth checking out. Pure analog synths.
If you're ever in london, come and visit. We're right on the canal in camden near the famous lock!
Nice to meet you all in cyberspace
