WordSound is a guerilla think tank banded together for the purpose of continual creativity...WordSound was started to harness the energy of the underground--those creators whose radical approach to the word, sound, and vision has been suppressed by the domination of the corporate overlord.We are here to provide the people with a true alternative to the commercialized arena, and hijack institutions that choke free expression....Our name comes from the Rastafarian expression: "Wordsound have power," which acknowledges the spiritual energy emanating from the combination of words and sounds, lanquage and rhythm, text and ambience. WordSound is the word of sound--how the music speaks to us subliminally, and what it says...Because all of our projects are completely produced, directed, and financed by creators, not businessmen, we retain total control over our creations. Only in this way can we unite the diverse strands of the past and bring forth an unadulterated vision of what lies ahead. WordSound represents the world of sound in constant elevation....WordSound's newest venture is WordSound Digital, available from most download services. The first slate of releases include albums from Spectre, Sensational, Prince Charming, Philosphy Major, Mentol Nomad and Raw Latnem, PLUS Beat Alcehmy: Sublime Manipulations - the long lost road-map from 1996 to the so-called 'illbient' scene rescued and transported from deep in Bill Laswell's vaults by Spectre. All these releases as well as the back-catalog of in and out of print WordSound titles are available through these outlets (and then some):iTunes
