If you want a good taste of what Plug Research puts out check their recent Plug Research & Development compilation cd or the Trash Aesthetic comp 12". Also the new Phthalocyanine: Navy Warship CD on PR is very good. I'll repost reviews and a full Plug Research discography later today or tomorrow. -->-Lance--- p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states

Mr. Ishii's track has never been released anywhere before or since. (those 2 tracks are also on 2 different compilation releases) i know they have more releases than this, so if anyone who's familiar can give some sense of the styles they release, artist names, reviews, etc. that would be great. --> Before answering some of these questions, I would like to thank you and anyone else for your interest in our label on behalf of my partner Allen and myself. Hopefully this might help: DISCOGRAPHY PG001 ("Wrench") later licensed to "Sublime Records" (Tokyo) PR2-PHTH1 ("Viridian EP" by Phthalocyanine) PR3-MC1 ("Mini Compilation 1") "Mai Fun" by Jamie Hodge, "Metal Thing #1" by Spatchula Freak, "Creace" by Rook Valard (aka OST), "Raf" by r.e.a.l.m.
