Synopsis

Album Description

Two CD set. Inimitable producer Odd Nosdam returns with Pretty Swell Explode, an enhanced two-disc collection (one album, one EP) of remixes, B-sides, videos, and original songs, including eight tracks entirely exclusive to this set. The first disc is bombastic and beat-blown, and well displays Nosdam's impressive range as a remix artist. Two of the record's strongest pieces are remixes created solely for this project. . A year of work and various snippets from the Hood catalogue went into the crunchy, spooked-out opus, with Adams's words disembodied and scrambled into the heaving song body.

CD Reviews

Psychoacoustic rhythm tracks and otherwise deft studio wizar

David M. Madden | salt lake, utah United States | 08/12/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Despite numerous petitions, no one has ever been able to properly explain to me what "backpacker" hip-hop means. However, the name cLOUDDEAD - or at least one of the band members - comes up whenever I hear a conversation about the genre. Judging from this collection of remixes and B-sides, featuring Black Moth Super Rainbow, Jessica Bailiff, Tarsier, Bracken of cD's beatmaker Odd Nosdam aka David Madson, I think I finally have it: you put your drugs in that backpack, and lots of them. Madson's music is the sound of drugs, glorious drugs that never turn wrong, allowing the listener to peer through another dimension; I'm not talking about chill-out sushi lounge grooves, but a Boards of Canada (coincidentally, Madson remixes BoC here) style, "I don't feel so hot, but if I just lie here nothing bad will happen" psychedelics created from overly compressed production, psychoacoustic rhythm tracks and otherwise deft studio wizardry."
