Comment: CLOUDWARMER is the project of Brett Zehner, and Eddie Palmer, previously the duo was being known as The Fucked Up Beat (a favourite of mine). As if a couple of conspiracy theoreticians and practitioners in sound used to have had a fun on these as numerous as approximately 20 albums. In general, they continue along an analogue way by using haunting, by its nature ominous speech samples and exotic yet by its nature a bit frightening, a bit otherworldly twisted rhythmic patterns to convey a disaster-ridden world (where the human being and nature welcome each other in an acrimonious way) to us what catastrophic disasters have happened throughout the last 70-80 years. Musically the main difference could be considered by employing doom-laden, noisy sweeps occasionally. For misanthropists this 12-track issue would be a good source to formally refer to the adverse consequences and therefore to their own species as a failed one but for others it would be a pleasant journey through labyrinthine sonic corridors and arousing fear stricken moods to get travelled. For whom this world belongs to in fact? For me? For you? For them? If it so who are then those 'them'? Should it be owned by someone at all? Are we just the pawns in the field of the so-called divine comedy? The mentally overcoming release was issued at Free Music Archive, and Bandcamp.
