cLOUDDEAD are amazing, the compilation of the 10"s especially. If you dig it you should definitely listen to some of Odd Nosdam's solo stuff, especially Burner, Level Live Wires and, to a lesser extent, No More Wig For Ohio but not the recent, lazy, blunted beats, snowboarding DVD soundtrack shit hop of TIME soundtrack.
I was once heading over to Birmingham to Supersonic fest when the van broke down. Dalek, pulled up in a cool van and gave us a jump start, like the alt hop A Team. In that no one got killed.

cLOUDDEAD is currently being acquired by my web-wise brother, and I've added about 20 hip-hop albums to my iTunes in the past couple of days, so there'll be plenty more listening. So far, Dalek and CanOx have shone brightest, but that's only the tip of the iceberg of what I've received.
Dalek sound like the grooviest cats on Earth tbh

That's on my computer, waiting to be gotten around to! Well, I listened to the first two tracks earlier and enjoyed them, but I was skimming about. Will give it a proper listen-through.

That guy who thinks I'm too clueless about real hip hop and r&b to be a hipster will probably suffer a stroke when he sees this.
But I'm too busy hanging out in my front room wearing a backpack, counting all my Buck 65 and Mr Liff records to be too concerned.
― Doran, Monday, 5 April 2010 22:26 (fourteen years ago) link
jesus doran, u were defending racist arguments with more racist arguments + u r entirely clueless abt it. having some buck 65 & co flo records along with that is uncomfortably close to par for the course, so no stroke here.
― zvookster, Monday, 5 April 2010 22:30 (fourteen years ago) link
7 1/2 tracks in, am liking CoFlow a lot, although I may have to stop + resume tomorrow owing to need for sleep. Really gripping stuff - works a little like The Fall, repetition aplenty but little shifts, halts and change-ups within the repetition that open the whole thing out. Jordan's youtubes will be watched tomorrow, I think. FanDam is also on the menu.

cLOUDDEAD is basically a less-chaotic Beta Band gone BoC-wards, not a hip-hop act
but it's really REALLY good so I'm not complaining!!

Thanks, Ned! Also, I mentioned the Faust vs. Dalek "review" (actually more of a self-parodic yet truthful respone, since my impressions were driven fairly far out and in; just trying to convey the listening experience, although I resolved to be more consumer-friendly after this, with mixed results---anyway, it's short) Didn't link it then, but here tis (I'd still say start with their first, but this collaborative experiment is well within the range of interests evidenced on this thread) http://www.villagevoice.com/2004-09-28/music/karma-sutures/full/
And a repost of Scott's cogent commentary on previous Dalek:http://www.villagevoice.com/2002-11-26/music/heaven-hell-and-jersey/

oh fuck that gig was enormous
ogmor you're in for a treat. mc dälek himself assured me they'd kill it up there "plus we haven't played there in a minute" so they've got a new crowd to impress
goes without saying that their beats are the best beats but the dude's flow is visceral

Seeing them tonight but having investigated the support act, not only does it have a member of Dalek in it, but their debut album is out today and is sick as hell, electro-noise rock of a very high order

!!! Thanks for the word on that.I posted link to this brief take upthread, but Voice changed links again, so here tis from my own archive, taking this approach as far as I ever did, mending ways later (Voicewise), but meant to convey unusual listening experience:
Karma SuturesAncient Teutonic drone-rockers take on Jersey art-hoppersOctober 5th, 2004 4:50 PM Issue 40Faust vs. DalekDerbe Respecte, AlderStaubgoldNot so long ago, a young Jersey trio of prodigious mad hiphopologists, Dalek,undertook a European tour. How they suffered! Until rescued by an old Germankombo of legendary mad progologists, Faust. Transcription of (ob)sessionfollows:Facedown bass-clown chews through plaster cast appeal and last appeals.Artillery fire falls like fossils, into single phylum. Spinal columns of beatsstack, driven home, bent high; remixing bricks, carpets, and windows. In somecrumbling rumble's scratch, soundbeast crawls on. Barrel tongues roll years.Inventory takes itself, junkyard ripples like hide riding a horsefly:Groovation gathers. A thin blue flame suspends, not unlike the aural aura of organistLarry Young, but he died long ago. Miles and Jimi never played together, buthe played with them both. It is also not unlike the gas-jet flame Miles'sautobio claimed to be his earliest memory, seen across a field of whitest stovetop. Atmosphere waits out the needle of such a tiny thrill. But its point hasbeen made. And if the listener's ear-hole cherry should regrow itself, sealingfeeling? Well. CDs last a while. This one will be waiting.

Followed by this for the collegetown local:
DalekThursday @ the Ravari RoomThe cliché tag of “underground” rap is right for Dalek’s pungent layers of sound, which earned them an album-length collaboration with prog pioneers Faust. On their first three albums, they pushed the layers up into towers of rubble, recycling old wars, civilizations, and other lost causes. On 2007’s Abandoned Language, they scrape away the noise, and direct an “Isolated Stare” up at hovering, glittering sounds, through a fractured glass ceiling of frustration. But they persist, rapping and playing over stoically-to-angrily swinging beats. They’re reputedly a formidable live act too.
― dow, Friday, 10 June 2022 18:49 (one year ago) link
But also, I need to post a correction: the Tarana album I linked upthread in 2015 involves Ravish Momin, not Dalek's Alap Momin. It's really good, though,and seemed like it had some Dalek appeal.
