Roni Size's first "solo record" after two as the head of the Reprazent collective comes at a curious time for drum'n'bass. After a long lull, when jungle was criticized (often rightly) as the refuge of antisocial listeners and an increasingly stale sound, a comeback led by a few surprising chart hits (from Shy FX and others) helped push club fans back into the music. Though it's a sure bet at least three or four tracks from Touching Down will get their spins in the sets of jungle's top DJs, there's not much room here for a crossover on the level of his 1997 record, New Forms. With no vocalists, no collaborators, not even a co-producer in sight (and obviously no Die or Krust or Suv in the credits), the album simply powers its way through 16 tracks of seamlessly mixed high-velocity drum'n'bass. True, there's barely a hook to be found ("At the Movies" and "Feel the Heat" are two great exceptions), but there's a bit of next-level programming in place to ease the way. (allmusic.com)

DJ Spooky That Subliminal Kid – Rhythm Science: Excerpts And Allegories From The Sub Rosa Archives (2004)
Only Paul Miller is pretentious enough to attempt this: make a remix album of the entire Sub Rosa catalogue. If I had to guess what the Subliminal Kid’s favorite record label might be Sub Rosa comes to mind, as does the thought that Mr. Miller would categorically reject the notion of ‘favorites’ on wordy, theoretical grounds. Put myself in right context and I would do the same, but the dork in headphones at the end of the day still has his favorites. One of which is, in fact, Sub Rosa, and when I glanced at the contents of this mix disc my neurons pumped transmitters. To my slight disappointment the ‘mix’ in question ends up being something more of an academic list. Still, given my love of original material, I can’t dislike what amounts to forceful spin of the rolodex that is my brain.
I’m being vague. The selections here amount to nothing less than a roll call of twentieth century experimental music and literature. A roll call as complete as you could hope to fit in eighty minutes and still have the results be comprehensible. Roughly two camps of music emerge: drum-n-bass/electronica (e.g. Scanner, Bill Laswell, Mouse On Mars) and snobby white person improv/20th and 21st century ‘classical’ (e.g. David Shea, David Toop, Morton Feldman), with a few notable excursions into world music and hip-hop. In other words, anything a pagan spirit can shake a stick at. Literary contributions are just as central as musical ones. A theme of this record could be that music and literature are one and the same. Bill Burroughs, Gertrude Stein, Antonin Artaud all make appearances. Sometimes it’s just spoken word. Other times it’s all music. More often than not two or three artists are layered together. At its best the musical sounds and the spoken words compliment each other. As is the case with Bill Laswell’s “Oscillations (Vedic’s Live Pop Remix)” mixed w/ Scanner’s “Biological Closure” + Freeform vs. Michael Mayer mixed w/ Kurt Schwitters’Ursonate. Yeah.
But how do you fit a whole label catalogue on one album, especially one as intellectual and refined as Sub Rosa, and retain a meaningful listening experience? You don’t, but there are two approaches one can take towards a truncated synopsis: formless mash-up or telephone phonebook stricture. Miller opts for stricture. We’re treated to some beats, or a minimalist permutation (usually on a tuned percussion instrument), and then a vocal clip. It’s quite dry and rather routine. Perhaps Sub Rosa should give this disc away as a label sampler? Given Miller’s back catalogue I know he’s far more capable than just fading from one record to another.
Besides, the literary selections are the things that really tickle my fancy. I own all the musical selections (or things that sound like them), but I don’t own any original source recordings of Gertrude Stein, James Joyce, or e.e. cummings. The latter’s rendition of “Let’s From Some Loud Unworld’s Most Rightful Wrong” is haunting and up lifting to a key. Cummings’ voice gleams as if he’s phonetically annunciating a language he does comprehend, but whose pronunciation he has mastered. A most rightful wrong indeed. Even Patti Smith’s contribution, “Morning High,” is surprisingly coherent throughout its duration. Something she achieves rarely in her verse.
Music is the art form that helps me forget about life; poetry is the art form that makes me glad to be alive. Rhythm Science: two art history seminars and a year’s subscription to the Wire in one convenient tablet. Marcel Duchamp and Tibetan chant standard. It’s hard to go wrong. Stylusmagazine.com

Various WORDSOUND – Made In Brasil (2006)
While baile funk has become a buzzword on the blogs and the bassment party scene and movements like tropicalismo are finally getting their due from audiences across Europe and America, Brasil’s many other contributions to the world of sound remain largely unknown. With an eye on what’s next, we wanted to investigate, and the result of our research is Made In Brasil (WSCD052). Once again, WordSound sets the record straight with this compilation of the newest beats coming out of Brazil (and none of it baile funk!). Across the board—from hip-hop and drum and bass, to dubwise and electronic styles—a tsunami of innovation and creativity is sweeping the land of sun, surf, and samba, and Made In Brasil captures the energy of this exploding scene. The Playaz: BNegao is an artist who can flow as easily to dubwise as he can to some good old Bronx-style boom bap. He has performed onstage in Rio, in fact, with none other than PUBLIC ENEMY. Digital Dubs are Brasil’s heavyweight dub champions--hands down--and MPC is their main man behind the boards. DJ Klos, who produced Sensational’s Natural Shine album (WSCD044), is the prodigal son, who finally returned home to Brasil after 15 years in Brooklyn. Maga Bo, on the other hand, is the American expat, who’s set up shop in Rio. Together with his partner Filastine, they tap Brasil’s natural sonic resources (like the berimbau) with their group Sonar Calibrado. Dom Negrone and Quinto Andar are two mainstays of Rio’s underground rap scene, always on the grind. And Anastacias, is a hardcore rap trio from the south (Port Allegre) who reps lovely for the ladies. Meanwhile, Mamelo Sound Systen, the only group here repping Sao Paulo, are currently at work on a new album with none other than WordSound producer Scotty Hard. Hard teams with Lucio Maia (of the popular rock group Nacion Zumbi) in another group, Maquinado, while his Brasilian doppelganger Kassin from the group Domenico+2 contributes the closing track. Sure, you might not have heard of any of these artists, but they are rising stars, ready to make their impact on the outernational scene. As our catalog attests, WordSound has always been on the forefront of the global beat fusion scene, and this latest salvo—our first new release in over a year—continues in our commitment to represent the best in worldsound! While others jump on flavor-of-the-minute trends and the hype, we blaze our own trail and dare the rest to follow. So if you’re baile funked out or just looking for something new, we definitely have something for you!

WordSound is not a record label in the traditional sense. They are not concerned with hitting the charts, breaking groups, or making hits. 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.
They are here to provide the people with a true alternative to the commercialized arena, and hijack institutions that choke free expression....
Their name comes from the Rastafarian expression: "Wordsound have power," which acknowledges the spiritual energy emanating from the combination of words and sounds, language 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 their projects are completely produced, directed, and financed by creators, not businessmen, they retain total control over their creations. Only in this way can they 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....

Neil Landstrumm - Brown By August (1995)

Based in Edinburgh, Scotland, Neil Landstrumm has played upon the verge of experimental techno music, a form no less innovative though its steady beat has been perceived as having little room for intelligent musicians. Influenced by the Sheffield school of industrial bleep techno pioneered by LFO, Landstrumm is also respectful of colleague Cristian Vogel, who more than shares his tendencies toward the obtuse. Landstrumm began producing in the early '90s within a variety of groups, but began solo production in 1993. He met Vogel one year later while DJing at Edinburgh's Sativa club, and released a single for Vogel's Mosquito label; the duo also combined for several EPs recorded as Blue Arsed Fly. Landstrumm began recording for Peacefrog Records through Vogel's connection to Luke Slater, and released his first album Brown for August on Peacefrog in 1995. Increasingly splitting production chores with occasional partner Tobias Schmidt -- who records on his own as well -- he released his second LP, Understanding Disinformation, in 1996 for Berlin's sympathetic Tresor label. Landstrumm's formation of the Scandinavia label that year took up much of his time, with the release of solid singles by Adam X, Stephen Brown and others; nevertheless, in 1997 he managed to issue another full-length, Bedrooms and Cities. Though Pro Audio followed just one year later, Landstrumm took some time off to work on his own label (Scandinavia) and on a series of projects with MTV and video-game developers. Finally, 2001 brought another Tresor LP, She Took a Bullet Meant for Me.

Deadly wax, RIYL Illum Sphere, Lorn, Eprom etc.
