I am proud as hell to announce that most of the Wormsign releases are available in High Quality remastered versions on iTunes, Spotify, and other fine streaming platforms. I went back to the source files and remastered most of the early records. Unfortunately Big in Japan and Fanghorn contained too many samples to clear so they have been omitted for now. For the die hard fan, Lossless versions can be purchased on iTunes as well. I will continue to offer the compressed mp3 versions on the site, but if you enjoy the music, please stop by one of these sites and give me a follow and some streams.

An apocryphal sound ritual by Wormsign

The full tracks will be available on my soundcloud for download.

Had fun with this one. Inspired by the theme from the show Knightrider and my love of 80’s synthpop, these tracks came suddenly on the heels of my return from a stint in the Big Apple. The pulse of the city beats under the surface of these tracks. I close my eyes and feel myself on the 2 train.

It has been a fun ride creating this one. Dedicated to that very special woman in my life, keep on moving baby, you make my whole world smile.
Virus Oddities available for download
At long last I have uploaded the Oddities Volume 1 & 2 to the virus section. These were self released limited editions sold on the festival circuit back in 2001. Now here they are for all to enjoy, two discs of demo’s and out-takes from our years as virus. From the earliest 4-track recordings to our Myx records days with Scotty, these two discs are everything that wasn’t released. Well that is listenable.

The Wormsign Primer is a collection of my favorite tracks, demos, and out-takes from the archive. The last four tracks are from the forth coming album “Big 80s ego trippin” due out this fall. For now dig your teeth into 28 tracks taken from the original masters and encoded at 320 to keep it clean. If your new to wormsign, this is a good place to start.
