 | [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 - Partisan Songs
"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
This is the Soundtrack of Adoria - the Lucid Winter Wonderland. |
 | [plague015] Glenn Brown - 3 Crows & The Moon

movie yet to be made. |

 | [plague013] Noel Towers - This is the Kernel of the Walnut
"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. |

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!

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. |

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 |

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. |
