Recorded in September 1975 at Columbia Studio, “Story Of Wind Behind Left” is a symphonic poem in the shape of a suite. On the album, Masahiko Togashi uses music to communicate the same feelings evoked by nature. The drummer demonstrates unique composition and performance skills in the way he imitates the sounds of nature or takes inspiration from nature itself to make music. With “Story Of Wind Behind Left” Masahiko Togashi revolutionized the Japanese free jazz scene, that was thriving in the 1…
2025 small repress. Ideologic Organ present Unfold, brand-new recordings from The Necks, the legendary Australian trio who excel in bypassing musical cliche whilst exploring and extending the practices embedded within improvisation, jazz, post rock, ambient, minimal, and textural, "sound based" music. The latest document from this long-running ensemble presents itself as a double LP, with four side-length tracks. A deliberate absence of numbered sides hands a substantial swatch of participation …
When Andrey Tarkovsky's Solaris premiered at Cannes in 1972, winning the Grand Prix Spécial du Jury, it announced a new cinematic language where sound was as essential as image. The collaboration between Tarkovsky and composer Edward Artemiev created what film critic Phillip Lopate would later call a work that belongs to that handful of filmmakers who created a universe. Roger Ebert described it as a thoughtful, deep, sensitive movie that uses the freedom of science fiction to examine human natu…
Lucky Restock - Limited Quantities Please note: these are original copies that may show minor sleeve wear due to long-term storage. The vinyl is in excellent condition. The Hammond organ holds a chord. The drummer waits. And then - a groove so immediate, so perfectly constructed, that it feels like it has always existed, just waiting to be discovered. This is the paradox of Italian library music: composed for anonymity, destined for something greater.
Twenty tracks from the shadow zone of Italia…
Lucky Restock - Limited Quantities Please note: these are original copies that may show minor sleeve wear due to long-term storage. The vinyl is in excellent condition. Listen closely. That grinding, mechanical rhythm isn't a machine - it's a drum kit filtered through the imagination of a composer who's been asked to score "industry" and has decided to make it swing. This is library music at its most conceptually strange: music about work, about factories, about the texture of modern life, playe…
Lucky Restock - Limited Quantities Please note: these are original copies that may show minor sleeve wear due to long-term storage. The vinyl is in excellent condition. Electric harpsichord cascades over thunderous drum breaks. Fuzz guitar tears through blistering psychedelic workouts. Bossa nova rhythms collide with proto-disco grooves. This is Phase 6 Super Stereo, the fifth entry in Plastic Records' excavation of Italian library music archives and one of the most sonically adventurous compila…
**Edition of 200** Originally from Sicily but living in Basel, electronic composer Marco Papiro confirms his eccentric and multifaceted personality. The sound articulation of his analog synthesizers flows into in an artificial hyperrealism of great thematic and expressive variation. The tracks unfold between ascending cosmic moments, more ecstatic meditative tones, symphonic planetary floods, exotic Afrodelic and psycho-Andean drifts. Papiro synthesises and converts echoes of acoustic wind instr…
2008. Paris and Glasgow. Eric La Casa recording sounds for Luke Fowler's 16mm triptych. Not compositions but investigations into the infra-ordinary - that space-time at low intensity where background noise meets the inaudible. How to create a meaningful dialogue between looking and listening? This question drove Fowler's film cycle. La Casa's answer: find a listening point in relation to everything taking place. The microphones amplify all living substances in motion - from the interior of the b…
Mitar Subotić Suba (Rex Ilusivii) was one of the most prominent ex-Yugoslav producers and sound artists. His work encompassed not only successful production on some of the cult ex-Yugoslav records, but also works in the field of music for theatre, experimental electronic music, and installations. After moving to Brazil in the 1990s, he further explored his interest in local culture and released his essential work "São Paulo Confessions". Almost at the same time, he produced "Tanto Tempo", a semi…
Morton Feldman’s Rothko Chapel is a hushed yet monumental soundscape that resonates with the spiritual austerity of Mark Rothko’s paintings. Combining solo viola, voices, celesta, and percussion, the LP explores silence and timbre with a reverence that transforms listening into a meditative experience, while the composition For Frank O'Hara offers a tender lyrical counterpoint to its profound stillness.
For years, Jackson C. Frank was as ghostly a legend as they come. Even the relatively few record collectors who revered his work were only aware of the lone LP released during his lifetime. For all most listeners knew, Frank made an incredible album in 1965 and then vanished, despite that record having been produced by Paul Simon.
1975 Mekeel Sessions features six tracks recorded in the mid-'70s at a studio in Lake Hill, New York about five miles from Woodstock where Frank was living at the time…
Limited edition 180g vinyl. Stoughton tip-on gatefold jacket. Restored artwork + previously unseen family photos. In 1993, when Chicago's Adler Planetarium commissioned Kelan Phil Cohran to score their "African Skies" program, they tapped into a mind that moved effortlessly between galaxies and neighborhoods, between ancestral rhythm and modern invention. Three decades later, Listening Position presents the first official reissue of this cosmic masterpiece - a recording that stands as both a spi…

Mick Harris has been an epitome of extremes: either as a drummer or as a sound sculptor and explorer of crushing beats, heavy bass or darkest soundscapes. Through the last 30 years, Harris has been an utterly prolific electronic artist, but known mostly for his famous project Scorn. At the beginning of the century Harris started one of his longest-standing projects, HedNod. Alongside Scorn, HedNod turned out to be his most fruitful project, which in the meantime made up of as many as twenty vol…

Schwarz's collection marks the first comprehensive survey of the composer's work—thirteen previously unreleased pieces spanning thirty years that reveal his unique fusion of ethnomusicology and avant-garde practice. From the intoxic…

*300 copies limited edition* Big Blood, the intrepid voyagers into the outer reaches of hallucinatory noise-rock and eclectic freakadelia opt for a new path along the circuit board of creativity. Electric Voyeur was made by applying strict limitations using home-made electronic instruments and voice alone. The result is an album that is as trippy as it is devotional in its exquisite craftsmanship. The glorious scent of solder and silicon wafts all over this music. Crafted over the course of ten …
Lucky restock. A Journey Into The 70's Italian Police! Screeching tyres on rain-slicked Roman cobblestones. A Fiat 131 careening through Trastevere at midnight. The dull thud of a silenced Beretta. And underneath it all, the relentless pulse of wah-wah guitar, pounding drums, and funky flute lines that refuse to let go.
Piombo Rovente captures the sonic DNA of Italy's most visceral cinematic era: the poliziottesco. These were films born from the "Years of Lead"—a nation caught between political …
Legendary French industrial pioneers Vox Populi! arrive on Dark Entries with a reissue of Sucre De Pastèque. Vox Populi! was founded in Paris in 1981 by Axel Kyrou, a multi-instrumentalist of Greek, French, and Palestinian roots. He soon recruited his future partner, Mitra, and her brother Arash Khalatbari, who were born in Iran and came to Paris in their teens, as well as bassist Fr6 Man (Francis Manne).
Their sound was motley, combining elements of musique concrete and early industrial with ho…
