MH-020 cLOUDDEAD - The Peel Session When Doseone, why? and odd nosdam were asked to do a session for John Peel they did not immediately grasp the significance. After finding out that Mr. Peel was a champion for strangeness, limit-pushing, and discord, and that having a Peel Session was an honor bestowed on only the most groundbreaking musical artists, they began to understand. Over a marathon three day weekend in the studio, cLOUDDEAD pieced together their session - a miniature epic full of Pythonesque screaming, Blair Witch interludes, bicycles with cardboard syncopating the spokes, and electro-nonsense. Short, shockingly odd, funny and affecting, the release confirms cLOUDDEAD as a group wiling to color outside of hip-hop's traditional boundaries.

Where do I start with this? It's mental yet strangely compelling. The cLOUDDEAD album has been out for a while and was challenging to say the least. This EP is a selection of choice cuts that were performed live for Peely himself and by all accounts he was unsure when a song started and finished so you get the gist. But this is a good place to start if you're thinking of exploring a different side of hip-hop. - Sidewalk
