The bonus cut, "Mulholland Instrumental" comes from the same sessions that spawned parts of their new album, and finds cLOUDDEAD revisiting the sweeping pads and ambient drones of their debut. Starting with the vocals from the original, Boards Of Canada create a new backing track of epic strings and analog keyboards with an absolutely pitch-perfect ending.

Anticon bigwigs cLOUDDEAD aren't the nerds they'd like you to think they are. Yeah, they sound like Toby Radloff babbling about a couple of dead dogs on his way to work, but these clowns are the future of hip-hop, didn't you know? No, seriously, this track is funny, catchy and so idealistic they even roped in Boards Of Canada to do a striking remix. Real nerds couldn't get anything more than Weird Al. - No Rip Chord
