I'm very, very familiar with Why? and Yoni Wolf, but not so much the other two members that make up cLOUDDEAD.
Does anyone else listen to them? If so, can you maybe post some of your thoughts and some links where I can download some albums? Ones that you think are well worth it that is.

So you've heard both of cLOUDDEAD's albums, right?

If so and you want more DoseOne, get Boom Bip & DoseOne's Circle. It's essential. After that, you can get the 13 & God album and some Subtle albums (A New White and ExitingARM). Don't miss out on Themselves stuff, either. All of the Themselves albums are good, The No Music is a tough record though, Them is easier (and probably better.) His solo albums aren't that great. They have some greatness scattered amongst them, like Ha's "Tale of the Private Mind," or Hemisphere's "Ethereal Downtime," but you don't really need to hear any of them.

If you haven't heard much cLOUDDEAD, then you have to hear their self-titled album. There's no way around this, you have to. Then you can hear Ten, it's really good.

So, uh, DoseOne essentials:

cLOUDDEAD - cLOUDDEAD
Boom Bip & Doseone - Circle

Good stuff to grab:

13 & God - 13 & God
Subtle - A New White
Themselves - Them

Odd Nosdam... He has a project with Why? called Reaching Quiet. I could never get into it though, but it might be worth a try.

Start with his solo album, uh, Level Live Wires.

Yeah, I've heard both of cLOUDDEAD's albums, they're great.
I also heard Doseone's [I]Hemispheres [I] was good, but I can't find them anywhere. Do you know any downloads, from megaupload or something of the like?

Jester · 01-10-2010, 10:29 PM

Sent you links. I'm telling you right now that Hemispheres is pretty dull. There's a feature with Lionesque that's worth hearing, and Ethereal Downtime. That's about it. Go with Circle first, then everything else.

Both of cLOUDDEAD's albums are great, although I'd agree, in most respects, there's much more going on in the self titled. It may take longer to absorb than Ten but it's well worth it. If you're a fan of Yoni you won't have trouble getting into it, especially the tracks he's on, it's kind of like the early WHY? albums only darker and grittier.

The Reaching Quiet album is good but get's kind of spotty when it comes to good songs. Besides the handful of gems on that album I don't really listen to it much. I'd rather just listen to Odd Nosdam's solo albums.

does anyone have a link to the Oaklandazulasylum album? I've got eveything else by Why?, but that. And i'm itching for it

or almost live from anna's cabin by why?

Everyone should cop this if they're in to any kind of experimental hip-hop, there's no validator so you can B.S. an e-mail.

This is really ill. It took me a while to open it up, but once I got it I was highly impressed. It's kind of annoying that it's one, long, 40 minute track...but I guess I can deal. Thanks man

That's the format I have it on too, but there are versions out there with seperate tracks. Get CrownsDown if you liked The Free Houdini, it's even better.

workshed · 02-04-2010, 06:06 PM

yea, i just got crownsdown. great.

you probably have already, but if you haven't check out Deep Puddle Dynamics, it's Slug, Jel, Doseone, and Sole. The albums Taste of Rain...Why Kneel. it's genius
