The WordSound label served as a hotbed of experimentation for the illbient scene, a loose New York-based conglomeration of likeminded musicians that included artists like DJ Spooky, Raz Mesinai, Spectre, and DJ Olive. Illbient music drew equally on dub and hip hop, and was characterized by dark, sonically spare, and often haunting-bordering-on-creepy tracks that tended also to be quite long. Live from Planet Crooklyn is credited to Wordsound I-Powa (a.k.a. Skiz Fernando, a.k.a. Spectre) but guest vocalists and instrumentalists make it effectively a compilation album that provides a good overview of the illbient scene.
