 | [plague031] Siegmar Fricke - Atemkalk
"Modulated absorptions, anesthetic ambiences and pulsating dissociative interferences for narcotic rebreathers. Cellular respiration through liquid programmings. Acoustic spaces of cardiopulmonary reanimation." |
 | [plague030] Gabran - Nowhere Tales
"Nowhere Tales is a story of stories. Horizons of sound, confused words that evoke other worlds, other joys, other pains..." |
 | [plague029] [off:Error] - caught in the gap
Played and recorded live--No Over Dubs were used--archaic archetypes of sound got mixed up with minimalistic electronic elements. The unusual ambient soundscapes are a melange of African Drums, contemporary Electronic Instruments, Guitar, Effects and Location Recordings. The listener will trespass the rusty industrial ambiance, the mantric sweetness of the Fluxus and the Bits of Reality. Urban-Cyber-Blues meets Industrial-Ambient and gives a rebirth to Electronique-Avantgard.

 | [plague028] [amt_23] - between the surfaces
Industrial ambient music for the theatre of our retinas, uncomfortable sometimes and surely harvesting the mainstream. This one comes for seduction first. As we get more comfortable dark and lunatic chantings hit our ears, just to scare the shit out of ourselves. |
 | [plague027] Goghst - Goghst
Goghst's second album is a sonic journey through the tired mind, the late at night mind when you think about the universe, and insomnia or fear of the dark or worse keeps you up. This is the soundtrack to the movie you see behind your tired eyes. This is the insomnia rising from the silent night to say "I am here! And I don't know why!" |
 | [plague026] Gabran - Harcana
The world of sounds is not a closed world, its essence is to be open. A world without confinements, an apéiron: an endless indefinite. The sound is anywhere. |
 | [plague025] Asgaya Gigagae - The Decline Before The Dream
"A difficult combination of ritual ambient, some doom aesthetics, heavy drone inspiration, slight percussion, slowly evolving sounds and so on are included in this piece of music. Field-recordings of a specific part of the ritual have also been used. The overall sound is natural - organic - acoustic being fused with acoustic instruments and electronics." |
 | [plague024] Astral Light - Quintessence
"The cumbrous elements, earth, flood, air, fire; / And this ethereal quintessence of heav'n
Flew upward, spirited with various forms, / That roll'd orbicular, and turn'd to stars
Numberless." -Milton
|
 | [plague023] Goghst - You're A Little Paranormal
You've just stumbled upon an alien radio signal, filled with ethereal, ambient soundscapes. Or maybe you're picking up on a telepathic radio station, run in someone's sleep. The sounds float in and out of your ears, and you wonder if this is the music that ghosts listen to. You wonder if, maybe, you are a little paranormal. |
 | [plague022] Disvega - Idrosfera
'Idrosfera' is a journey through the continuous, infinite water cycle: from the rain to the water-bearings, from the rivers to the sea, the cycle constantly repeats itself. The whole musical project was realized for the pictorial works of Riccardo Ruberti and it was presented in 2005 during the painter's exhibition at the Bottega del Caffè of Leghorn. |
 | [plague021] [Esc.] Laboratory - date of production V1.0
(studio-projects-compilation 2003-2007)
The brilliant synergy of unreleased songs and the beautiful “errors” of already released projects`albums are the perfect mix to represent the “what-happens-there?” mythology of modern urban ghost`s culture. |
 | [plague020] Fabrizio Torri - Funny Thoughts
"Funny Thoughts" is a showcase of hypotheses for songs. in this six-packed collection you can find tunes that can be whistled, if one wishes to do so, together with thought-provoking chords progressions and interesting rhythmical parts. listen to them more than once, if you really want to catch them, because they'll try in every way to escape you. forewarned is forearmed. |
 | [plague019] Stuzha - Through the Snowfield EP
Four songs of frost, winds, snow and survival in the desolate Siberian winter. |
 | [plague018] Ruberti & Mangoni - Wandering In Milano
This is an imaginary travel across the big town; we get lost in a cold December day, and we didn’t find the way back home... (Wandering in Milano was composed at the end of 2006 for a documentary about the underground life of Milan, directed by Daniela Frassoni.) |
 | [plague017] To Repel Ghosts - PartisanSongs
"A barely audible song / Is heard from the fog, / It is the quiet song / Of the forest partisans." A dark ambient meditation on the Soviet partisans in the Great Patriotic War. |
 | [plague016] Nagual Art - Adoria
Winter reigns over the Northern Hemisphere, and Nagual Art celebrates in cold ambient beauty. Sound travels far in the frigid air, bringing wisps of voices and the woodsmoke scent of deep dreaming.
This is the Soundtrack of Adoria - the Lucid Winter Wonderland. |
 | [plague015] Glenn Brown - 3 Crows & The Moon
An ambient excursion into outer….and inner….space. Ethereal, dark, and haunting soundscapes for a sci-fi movie yet to be made. |
 | [plague014] The Threshold People - Seven Legs of an Eight- Legged Beast
Skeletons! Monsters! Living Shadows that talk--and KILL!! The Threshold People are back, complete with seven new slabs of throbbing horrorbeat to give you the wim-wams! Are you brave enough to follow the trail of bones into the lair of The Threshold People? Then turn up the volume and turn out the lights... The most electrifying scare album of the year! Hear it now--but don't hear it alone!
|
 | [plague013] Noel Towers - To Jest Jądro Orzecha Włoskiego
"This is the kernel of the walnut" - A welter of restless jazz textures, liquid sax taken deep underground for a congress of ghosts. |
 | [plague012] [insect:industries] - "post.larvae.state"
New from [Esc.] Laboratory! As alien as the Insects are to us, so must the world of Humans and our Machines be to the Insects. The concept behind the album was to recreate the strange landscape of concrete immensity that confronts the insects living in our habitat, the urban sprawl. |
 | [plague011] Nagual Art - A Landscape Built By Whispers
Inspired by dreams and an abstract mindset, I try to render dreams audible and - the other way around – to provide a possible access to subconsciousness and dreams through music.
Abstract-dark, confused-melancholic soundscapes with neo-classical influences emanate from this musical concept. Stop your thoughts, start to dream, live!
|
 | [plague010] Fabrizio Torri - Terra Lucida
Fabrizio Torri's first album for This Plague of Dreaming is a strange world of echoes, of memory, and of golden, shifting light. Torri's music is frequently retro in sound, but it has been filtered through the distortion of the intervening decades, rounding its sharp edges and blurring its outline in warmth and dust. This is music to listen to alone, with headphones and closed eyes and the sun on your face. |
 | [plague009] Sublinear - Pinned Beneath the Boiling Sky
Music for a radiant abyss. Pinned... is Sublinear's first album with TPoD, but his experience as a score composer shows clearly in his disquieting, cinematic trip-hop arrangements. |
 | [plague008] [interrupt:Jumper] - "music for unfinished movies"
Germany's [Esc.] Laboratory are veteran sonic ritualists, and explorers of a liminal territory that will be familiar to our loyal plaguedreamers. The sound is industrial-dub, thrumming bass and echoic beats offering a pulsing glimpse of deep time traveling down the spine, the soundtrack to a lunar eclipse. |
 | [plague007] Sypha Nadon - Threnody for Zumb Zumb
Funeral music for the Crooked Universe, a collection of Lar-Vi death knells. The music this time is heavily rhythmic, exquisitely beat-driven, audio vevers constructed to invoke sonic Lwa. At the same time, it acts as a manifesto composed of songs, with an important message for the troubled human soul: dump the rubbish, kill the violence, pay loving tribute at the altar of Kind Hands. Sacred music has never been this much fun! |
 | [plague006] Harel Gal - the beginning the end
The dream is taken up by Israeli songwriter and soundsmith Harel Gal. When Harel contacted the PlagueDream Institute, we were immediately struck by the intimacy and tenderness of his musical vision. His sonic palette is often melancholic, occasionally foreboding, but never bleak. In addition to playing guitar, flute, electronics, and many other instruments and non-musical objects, Harel also has the distinction of being the first singer on the label. UPDATED 9.24.2007 |
 | [plague005] Sypha Nadon - 11 Chants for Russolo!
The search for extremes is nothing more then the search for Self. God can be found in feedback: Divinity can be extracted from oceans of chaos. The scryer of this album put himself at great mental and physical risk in his quest to earth these 11 transmissions and place them into a context relatable to mammalian senses. This album is dedicated to Luigi Russolo and all those who carry his flame. |
 | [plague004] To Repel Ghosts - All Is Calm
A very special To Repel Ghosts Christmas, four old chestnuts thawed out and slowly refrozen in new and interesting shapes. Icy late-night sidewalks past closed shops, headloops of mall music, snow. |
 | [plague003] The Threshold People - Night of the Threshold People
They prowl the twilight wasteland seeking human victims! Could YOU be one of THEM?!! This Plague of Dreaming presents seven slabs of psychotronic horrorbeat from the strange and terrifying Threshold People that are sure to SHOCK the most hardened listener! Thrill with horror at the savage sound! |
 | [plague002] Sypha Nadon - Enter Horus
Little is known about the nature of these recordings, but we can put foward various esoteric theories: The aural soundtrack of a sentinent asylum's reptile brain? Otherwordly symphonies conducted by Transyuggothian orchestras? The dying gasps and last breaths of ancient video games from days long ago, now forgotten? |
 | [plague001] To Repel Ghosts - Illusions
The theme song of To Repel Ghosts, and the inaugural release for This Plague of Dreaming - a loving dream of Our Lady Marlene. |
