The
powerful WordSound I Powa posse from Brooklyn in a hip hop reggae dub
outing that could be likened to George Clinton's Parliament/Funkadelic
let loose in a world of fantasy dubadelic!
This
underground sound system guerrilla action includes Scarab, Roots Control,
Spectre, Dubadelic, Rankin' Boopsman, Canadian dub poet Lillian Allen,
The Illness, Dr. Israel, Conscious Sounds, and Megabyte
Brooklyn's
WordSound I Powa have released 8 albums on their own label, which have
startled the European dub scene!
"Strap
in and prepare for blast-off. WordSound shakes the town from the underground,
everytime. Dub is the frequency and WordSound is Powa."
A
word from Neil Cooper of ROIR and Dub Freak #1- "This is the best, newest
and most innovative sound system in America today. This is an absolutely
fantastic CD, a new generation of dub with strong hip hop and sampling
influences. We will be hearing a lot from this group."
"Live
From Planet Crooklyn orbits out to the cutting edge of Hip-Hop and Dancehall.
This uncanny fusion of musical styles is a must for those in search of
something out of the ordinary. (This album) bridges the gap between Hip-Hop
and Dancehall and can prepare listeners who are unfamiliar with Dub music." - Reggae Report
"Unlike
current English dub fanciers, these guys have torn up the rule book and
gone for the bass in toto. Bass and drum sound are the whole point here,
and they are lovingly engineered. Crooklyn dub is slow and low - and convincing."
- Wire UK
