About
Sound Sound is an independent record label that operated during the late 1980s and early 1990s, establishing itself within the industrial and experimental music underground. Based on its release catalog, the label demonstrated a commitment to cassette-based distribution, a format favored by DIY and underground music communities during this era. The label's artist roster included acts working in industrial, electronic, and experimental genres, with releases documented between 1988 and 1991. Notable titles from the catalog include "Conundrum" (1988), "Control" (1991), "Thick As Thieves" (1991), and "Schizoid" (1991), all issued on cassette format. This choice of medium reflected the label's positioning within the independent underground music scene, where cassettes served as an accessible and cost-effective alternative to vinyl and compact disc production. Sound Sound's catalog reflects the broader aesthetic and distribution practices of the industrial and experimental music community during the late Cold War period, contributing to the diverse ecosystem of independent labels that sustained underground electronic music during this transitional decade in recording technology.
