Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Guaranteed to raise the hackles of rap purists, Ten, the debut album proper from Cincinnati-based surrealist rhyme trio Clouddead is an imaginative, hilarious and often bewildering vision of hip-hop viewed through a distorted lens. In comparison to their previous full-length, 2001's Clouddead--a collection of 10" singles moulded into an occasionally revelatory but frequently uneven whole--this is a pretty complete-sounding work. Rhyme-wise, it's dominated by Dose One who delivers hypnotic poetic tracts and feats of cyclical word-play in nasal, hypnotic sing-song. But it's the sounds that dominate--kaleidoscopic shifts of hallucinatory sound that hint at a love for My Bloody Valentine, experimental techno, and DJ Shadow-style crate-plundering in equal measure. Accordingly, there are no block-party bangers here: the melancholy "Dead Dogs Two" is a lyrical vision of mortality viewed from a cold asphalt highway ("We secretly long to be part of a car crash/ Long to see our arm stripped to the tendon"), while the buoyant "Physics of a Unicycle" conceals a poetic ode to aeronautical pioneers the Wright brothers amid its stuttering drum-machine sputters. The majority of experimental hip-hop releases stumble through their sheer inconsistency. Ten is the rare exception. --Louis Pattison

CD Description
Second album, following their self-titled 2001 debut, from Doseone, Why and Odd Nosdam of the Anticon collective, one of the most wilfully perverse outfits working in the strange world of indie "backpack" hip hop. A genuinely unique melange of ambient musique concrete and psychedelic, stream-of-consciousness raps, this is purportedly Clouddead's final albumand includes the single 'Dead Dogs Two'.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is not merely hip-hop but a powerful poetic experience, 3 Aug 2005
This is not merely a hip-hop CD, but one of the most powerful poetic and musical experiences to come out of the United States in years. Truly progressive, each track typically begins rather composed with a small sample or delicately repeated note but they always pay off as they peak into a massive sound of looming bass, church organs, white noise, and Doseone's ever flowing imagist poetry. Why? seems to help him focus a bit more on choruses and traditional rhyming structure compared to his freewheeling work with Boom Bip and, since odd nosdam's beats are more structured as well, it is to good effect.

The sound, though, is the most amazing thing about this album. It's often cheap and distorted with occasional lowered sample rates but there are a lot of elevated mid range growls and keyboards while the beats are finely constructed and catastrophically overwhelming. So it's quite busy, interesting, and stimulating as well as easily danceable making it a useful album to have. This is no half-assed, thrown together at the last minute, money driven, mainstream product nor a sit back, moralist indie effort. This is all things to all types of music consumer, low and high brow, and one day it will receive its due recognition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eleven out of Ten, 14 Mar 2004
By Mo "mo79uk" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
  
I had never expected Clouddead to make another album. All signs (to me) pointed that their singles collection seemed to be a one-off.

I'm glad I was proved wrong, as Ten is an even better album than the last, and is probably one of the most uniquely great albums of the year so far in general.

The surreal rhymes, the near-random sample collages, and laid back rhythms, re-emphasise the Clouddead trademark, with the new addition of short near-song like structures. This album can be listened to easily in one sitting, and then put on repeat, unlike the last.

Existing fans will spot some novel recycled excerpts from the first album, and new fans will want to check out the first album.
Call it hop hop, call it avant garde, you'll call it good. Fans of texture orientated bands like Mogwai (who seem to have been sampled) will love this. Genius and accessible!

Limited edition copies contain a CD version of the Dead Dogs Two vinyl single, featuring an honourable near-orchestralised Boards Of Canada remix.

5.0 out of 5 stars DONT WORRY.....THIS REALLY ISNT HIP HOP, 14 Mar 2004
I have only recently come across this band, and as of yet haven’t been subject to much of the approbation and acclaim that I am sure is going on. What I have heard about them has been misinformed categorizing and nonsense childish explanations of there music. First of all, to call this album hip hop, which so many are adhereing to, is puzzling. Clouddead encompass a vast array of musical styles, and subvert there conventional forms into something that sounds quite unique and at times sheer genius. Do not expect this in any way to follow on from Dose one- it is completely different.
Most people will have never heard anything quite like Clouddead and probably wont get the chance, they don’t seem to care how cringing, cheesy and embarrassing there songs come across – and this is one the reasons this album works so well. Think of the worst but most catchy vocals from the Velvet Underground and then mix it with a feast of beats and synthesizers that could be found anywhere from land of nod to stereolab. This album is a great achievement and a breath of fresh air in the current musical climate. One bit of advice, the first time you listen to this album, ie before you fall in love with it, make sure your on your own.... your wearing headphones.... and its turned right down.
