Alongside the blog and bookshop Wyrd Britain also has a record label which can be found at wyrdbritain.bandcamp.com.
The label is a continuation of my previous label Quiet World but, so far, is a home for my own recordings as 'The British Space Group' where I'm trying to tell stories of the sort I feature in the blog, music with a narrative and a sense of the mysterious that would be at home within the occult territories of a stranger Britain.

'The Machinery of the Moment' tells a story of an extended moment. Of the point where perception of time - or perhaps even time itself - collapses and we exist in a state of timelessness; a minute in an hour, an hour in a minute, a lifetime lived in the second between the tick and the tock.
"Sitting with it is like sitting in an endless moment at the end of a dream, and I like it very much."
- Warren Ellis

'The Ley of the Land' tells a subtle story; one of dark nights and disembodied voices. It tells of a haunted moment and gives a time stretched glimpse behind the curtain into an enigmatic and uneasy other here.
"...a combination of uncanniness, hypnosis and transfigured reality" - Massimo Ricci
............
'Phantasmagoria' presents a series of radiophonic miniatures made in homage to the occult detective shows of my youth.
"Listeners will easily find themselves inspired to visions of a
frock-coated dandy vaunting between different planes of existence and
combating sinister cosmic conspiracies, while all around singular
devices whirr and sizzle, and whoosh and soar. These artful and
affectionate compositions transport us to tales of other worlds that we
seem to half-remember, re-activating our yearning for the lost and
strange."- Mark Valentine
............
'Eyes Turned Skyward' excursions into half remembered sci fi worlds.
'It manages to bridge the gap between 70’s sci-fi soundtracks and modern ambient/drone. It’s an album that plays like a short movie with each component vital to the story. It’s an album that must be listened to from beginning to end as each song represents a chapter in this most enjoyable story.' - Simon Tucker, Louder Than War
