MH-206 cLOUDDEAD - cLOUDDEAD  "It's all the same shit but they call it cLOUDDEAD." cLOUDDEAD is the avant-hip-hop grouping of Doseone, why?, and odd nosdam. Fusing abstract beats, ambient pads, and interweaving vocals, cLOUDDEAD has created a release that owes as much to the Beatles as it does to hip-hop. Like Doseone and why?'s Greenthink project, cLOUDDEAD renounces the traditional hip-hop song format in favor of music made in movements. Six such movements were created to be released as a limited edition ten-inch series. Each release features a guest (Illogic, Dj Signify, Sole, the Wolf Bros., Mr. Dibbs, and The Bay Area Animals) and focuses on a specific theme. All six are combined to create a full-length that nullifies any preconception of style and raises the artistic bar for future Mush releases. |

| In case you missed the tens this is your chance to be enlightened by the most adventurous and ingenious concept album ever released. The core members are Doseone, odd nosdam and why? with Dj Signify, Mr. Dibbs, Illogic, and Sole lending a helping hand. Ignore any media hype that tries to pigeonhole this music, this is pure art. You owe it to yourself to listen. A contender for album of the year easily. Essential. - Pelican Neck |
