	Big Dada cLOUDDEAD
		It’s a tricky one, this - anything you say about the music of cLOUDDEAD is probably going to make it sound less good or more absurd than it actually is. Although it is absurd, but only in a way that works.
		It was just a matter of time before the three of them started making music and words together, drawing on everything "from day jobs, art school, rappers, race, sexuality, rubberheaded women, rent, you name it".
		As for the meaning of their name, it sums up the cLOUDDEAD ethos - not, as may at first be imagined, artsily pretentious, but heartfelt, open and with a self-aware sense of humour: "My sister came up with the name at five years old," explains Dose One, "while making up an unfunny knock knock joke".

		Though fans may be disappointed that Eddie Vedder does not appear as a guest, the improvement in cLOUDDEAD's unique sound suffices.
		cLOUDDEAD gives their audience incentive to keep on listening, even if the beginning moments of a track seem less inspired.
		cLOUDDEAD consists of six limited edition 10” records released between 1998 and 2000 that have been conveniently compiled on to one disc.

	The History of Rock Music. cLOUDDEAD: biography, discography, reviews, links
		cLOUDDEAD was a trio of white hip-hop artists from the Oakland-based "Anticon" collective: producer Odd Nosdam (David Madson), and rappers Adam "Doseone" Drucker and Yoni "why?" Wolf.
		The sound effects (which constitute the core, not just the periphery, of the music) are even reminiscent of Brian Eno's ambient music and Throbbing Gristle's industrial music.
		cLOUDDEAD are closer to Notwist than to El-P. Themselves is a project by Doseone and producer "Jel" that has released Them (2000) and The No Music (2002), which sound like a post-modernist rewriting of the canon of funk and soul music.

		It seems like cLOUDDEAD were deprived of television, women, and food as kids, and simply sat there playing with beads and legos, doing algebra problems, and staring at the ceiling.
		No, cLOUDDEAD are a group of talentless bastards who claim to be some sort of new style of hip-hop, and nothing could be further from the truth.
		cLOUDDEAD is at the forefront of being pretentious, and you get the feeling these guys need to get into a good fight and get smashed to wake up from their dreams of clouds and sunken ships for making an album as bad as cLOUDDEAD.

	cLOUDDEAD: Ten - PopMatters Music Review
		Except instead of good vs. evil, order vs. chaos, or the unseen horror of Cthulhu vs. your puny sanity, the battle that plays out on this disc is that between the sublime and the ridiculous.
		cLOUDDEAD attracted a lot of attention with their debut for coming from a hip-hop background, but producing an almost unclassifiable sonic mélange of spacey obscurantism under the influence of trip hop and musique concrete.
		They keep that sonic excess going here, and though they've moved up from the days of pure four-tracking, they don't abandon the grimy, decrepit feel of the first record, instead leavening the static and fuzz that soaked earlier work with hints of digital destruction, pixilated overdrive and blooming, caustic crunch.

	cLOUDDEAD: Ten (2004): Reviews
		This is the second group album (as cLOUDDEAD) for three of the founders of the indie hip-hop collective anticon: Why?, Doseone and Odd Nosdam.
		The flow is smoother, and the whole thing has a more compressed, accessible feel, without compromising the essential psychedelic madness at its heart.
		Clouddead's problem is their stubborn refusal to express anything.

	No Ripcord Album Review - cLOUDDEAD - "ten" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		The side-projects will continue, and anticon will undoubtedly release them all, but (as regular No Ripcord readers will testify to, if I’ve done my job correctly) the change from their position as Cypress Hill’s abstract cousins on their debut to unplumbed depths of charming/confusing melodica is undoubtedly due to why?’s self-taught musical vision.
		The fact that three skinny art-nerds, none of whom exhibit a natural talent for rapping, have created an album that is both abstract, lo-fi and leftfield hip-hop and yet is as catchy as SARS, makes no sense; that is, until you hear it.
		Amidst all the faux-rebel bluster and bad-boy posturing over Simply Red samples, were a band that truly didn’t give a shit, which was less a breath of fresh air than a full body enema.

	CLOUDDEAD - Ten (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Clouddead imprint ambient dreamscapes beyond Hip-Hop beats and undiscerning poetic rapping.
		I defy anyone to pigeonhole Clouddead, as they hop and skip through the musical playground, sifting through what’s left of dead genres and throwing them into a great big bin, before returning to the studio and belching it all back out again.
		Clouddead are so bizarre they might find it problematic finding their niche, as ‘Ten’ dangerously teeters on a precipice of musical originality which could just as easily see them ignored as winning awards.

	CLOUD COVER
		Recorded on eight-track cassette, cLOUDDEAD's extraordinary debut album is an object lesson in lo-fi production and the creative use of budget equipment.
		To mark the release of the CD, cLOUDDEAD were asked to record a session for John Peel's BBC Radio One show.
		Of course the cLOUDDEAD DIY sampling ethic got a look in: "On one track we made the beat by banging away on our guitars, the piano and the mic stands.

	What Rhymes with... \| Music \| The Stranger, Seattle's Only Newspaper
		The rhymes of cLOUDDEAD are experimental and groundbreaking, but always filtered through a constant, flippant self-awareness.
		As cLOUDDEAD, their first records, a series of 10-inches recorded in 1999 and 2000, slowly became cult favorites among smarty-pants hiphop-heads and hardcore electro kids.
		Dose says their upcoming full-length is along similar lines as their older stuff, with the same "household ingenuity" that allowed them to sample blenders and half-sing their asymmetrical lyrics on the first tracks.

		Clouddead has a hard-to-classify sound; if you described it as "lo-fi ambient spoken word meets surreal hip-hop with an indie rock bent," you'd be leaving a lot out.
		cLOUDDEAD are at the 'rock' (or at least, post-rock) end of the hip hop spectrum.

	Cokemachineglow.com - cLOUDDEAD: cLOUDDEAD/Boom Bip: Seed to Sun
		Arguably, cLOUDDEAD aren't hip hop at all --a major appeal of the album lies in its production which is much more similar to artists like Boards of Canada and pre-Life is Full of Possibilities Dntel than Outkast or Blackalicious.
		Perhaps I shouldn't be comparing the two at all; Boom Bip really had nothing to do with the cLOUDDEAD record and his only real tie to the album would be his work with Dose, which sounded little like cLOUDDEAD to begin with.
		Where the cLOUDDEAD debut had been completely consistent in its experimentation and unconventional structure, Boom Bip walks thinly along the line of haunting/hypnotizing and monotonous/boring far too often.

	CLOUDDEAD Interview
		Three years ago, cLOUDDEAD quietly revolutionised the world of underground hip-hop with a series of EPs and their seminal self-titled album by taking their beats and samples far beyond the realm of the genre.
		cLOUDDEAD is melodically delivered poetry over beats with sampled and hand played sounds questionably sequenced into a song that is carefully mixed to insure that the sound that is often referred to as "The cLOUDDEAD Sound" is indeed present.
		Doseone: Yes it affects all of the bands, but my role in cLOUDDEAD is like the one I have in all these projects...

	CLOUDDEAD - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		cLOUDDEAD's sound is notoriously hard to define, and although it is undoubtedly grounded in 'traditional' hip-hop, influences as varied as electronica, psychedelic music and indie rock can be heard.
		cLOUDDEAD's first six 10" EPs were compiled in 2001 as a self-titled compilation album.
		Printed on the sleeve of "Dead Dogs Two" is "this is clouddead number 9 of ten", indicating that as of Ten, cLOUDDEAD, as a group, have finished making music.

	Drowned in Sound - Reviews - Albums - cLOUDDEAD - cLOUDDEAD
		The cLOUDDEAD soundscapes are often reminiscent of Boards of Canada, but a lot more disconcerting, and also of Kid A, but fuzzier and less precise.
		Rhythms and beats, when there are any, sound muffled and appear imperceptibly amongst the dense pattern of rumbling bass noises, machine hisses, scratching and soft orchestral arrangements (I swear they’re even sampling Mogwai at one point).
		CLOUDDEAD venture so far beyond the normal constraints of hip hop lyricism it’s difficult to comprehend.

		Most are content to slightly bob heads and scratch chins, and enjoy the convoluted mixture of feelings that cLOUDDEAD's music evokes.
		Deciding what questions to ask cLOUDDEAD is about as difficult as deciphering their music.

		Each of the six singles were meant to be played back to back, to create one single full-length work.
		Several years of time spent on innumerable projects preceded the 2004 release of Ten, which cLOUDDEAD promised would be their last.

		US experimental hip-hop art space rockers cLOUDDEAD, one of the many projects arising from the San Francisco east bay Anticon collective, released their self titled debut album last May—a collection of songs previously available on limited edition 10" vinyl EPs.
		We now hear from their UK label, Big Dada, that the trio—Dose One (also in Deep Puddle Dynamics, North American Adonis, Stuffed Animals, Them), Why?, and Odd Nosdam (the latter two also in Reaching Quiet)—are piecing together a second album, perhaps for release later this year.
		Only 25 copies are available for UK purchase, and about 500 each for the rest of Europe and the US.

	DOA - cLOUDDEAD - Ten
		Most hip-hop artists were forced to resort more and more to gimmicks in order to sell their music, to cram their square peg into an increasingly round hole.
		That’s as perfect a description for cLOUDDEAD’s music as I can think of; each track has its own unique vision, its own self-contained feel, a mixture of queasy, seasick atmospheres combined with slowed-down, drugged-up beats and odd, stream-of-consciousness narration that’s more like descriptive essays than actual lyrics.
		The album plays like some dream that’s half-remembered upon waking: you’re not sure what it was, whether it was good or bad or even indifferent, but you only know that you want to get back to it, and soon.

		Three artists, ignoring the rules and doing what comes naturally without care to style or sales, cLOUDDEAD is the avant hip-hop coalition of Doseone, why?, and odd nosdam.

	cLOUDDEAD - Ten - Review - Stylus Magazine
		ith their second album as cLOUDDEAD, the core Anticon trio of Dose One, Why?, and Odd Nosdam seem to be moving their pseudo-hip-hop into an interesting an somewhat unexpected direction.
		After the sprawling, incoherent, loose jams of their self-titled debut, and the even less structured ramblings of Dose One on his collaboration with Boom Bip, cLOUDDEAD’s Ten sounds positively lucid.
		The shambolic grandeur of the group’s first album has been replaced this time around by a greater attention for loose song structures and melodic choruses, though the lush multilayered backdrops remain.

		All the members of Oakland’s found noise collective, anticon, have often maintained that what they do is modern folk music that rather than rap.
		But cLOUDDEAD (featuring why?, Doseone and odd nosdam) was arguably the first of their projects that completely destroyed all evidence of their B-boy history.
		It was hard to see how they could possibly follow up the dizzying digital stew of soporific barber shop harmonies and synth washes of their 2001 eponymous release, but by anyone’s standards this album represents a quantum leap forward.
