25 years later, the cLOUDEAD debut remains as experimental, spellbinding & bizarrely brilliant as the day it dropped. In an excerpt from his new [ch]oral history of Anticon, @caltropspress.bsky.social dissects the occult mind-meld of Doseone, Why?, and Odd Nosdam. www.powmag.net/p/the-2001-p...

yes, that's accurate. i think the media outlets have made decisions to promote the work of up-and-comers who are undeserving when there's a plethora of very interesting and adventurous work being done elsewhere. market-driven forces, i assume. playing to the least common denominator, i suspect.
