MH-026 cLOUDDEAD - Dead Dogs Two  Boards Of Canada team up with cLOUDDEAD for the latest release from Mush's left-leaning trio. Taken from their second full-length release, Ten, cLOUDDEAD's original mix of "Dead Dogs Two" finds the group in top form, as an infectious melody, live bass, and signature drum programming from odd nosdam encompass vocals from Doseone and why?. 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. |

| cLOUDDEAD step back in the game after receiving worldwide props for their self-titled debut LP in 2001. The trio, consisting of Doseone, why? and odd nosdam are now presenting their sophomore album Ten on Mush/Big Dada - set to serve as the final acclaim despite the crew's break-up(s) and different solo projects released during the past few years. Serving as the main appetite teaser for Ten, is this new piece of wax entitled Dead Dogs Two. It's a perfect serve, actually. "Dead Dogs Two" is transgressive hip-hop in its presumably most purest form and it's a joy encountering the trio's individual spirits presenting a track that reflects many emotions and feelings. A great one. Included here is also "Mulholland Instrumental" (with Jerry Jel Logan and Jordan Dalrymple), a crazy composition probably not suited for the intolerant fan - but probably candy for the most dedicated. The flipside alone is dedicated to the Boards of Canada remix of "Dead Dogs Two," a remix that actually takes much of the original's key vibes and transforms them into a somewhat splendid remix. - Boom Bap |
