Cloud People Even Wilder, Cloud 2, digital (Batona PATH5). Five new tracks of Pineland-style IDM dub psyche-out sky tunes: released Friday, August 26, 2011.
Even Wilder, the only place to go after A Wild Feeling, was released August 26th on Batona Music cloud-wide on iTunes and Amazon.
The pace is picked-up and suffused with 5 tracks Pine Barrens heat: rankin' bass heavy dance tracks like "Warm Front Pressure Drop" follow the fading hot vespertine glow of "Awesome Sunsets" before the hurricane gusts and surges of "Open Deck Cloud Ship"'s wild yelps, crashing drum breaks and bits delay across the stratosphere. "Helios I" and "Helios II" set out to join the pantheon of efforts in homage to our star system through spacey synth arpeggios and bluejay calls, to further transuniversal acculturation amongst the surface dwellers.
MP3s are be available on iTunes and Amazon and FLAC will be made available via this site and on Batona.com.
In 2003, Cloud People did a remix for The Killing. The Iraq invasion had only recently begun. Anger was all the rage, and metal seemed (to us) to be thriving once again in New Jersey and around the world. Cloud People descended from their happier demeanor and moved amongst the surface dwellers in the ever-expansive and bottomless pits of darkness of the times. "The Walls of Paradise Dub By Cloud People" of "We Kill For The Good" is the 10+ minute, dissonant, discomforting and dirty result.
Later, 2011. The Killing is on indefinate hiatus. The Iraq occupation is ambiguously over. Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, Libya and more have their own people overthrowing the powers that control them. The above remix as well others by At Work still linger and age. Talks with the Killing ensue. The remixes are to be released to help ease the silence while life still stirs from within The Killing. Evan Wilder produces and contributes one more mix for Cloud People - "Meet And Greet With The Angel Of Death (Cloud People Over Riff Valley)".
These two mixes and 4 mixes by Batona label-mate At Work are available, for free, at The Killing's page on BandCamp, in FLAC, 330 KBPS MP3 & more.

Cloud People Remix "Trails" For BD1982
February 2, 2011
Our friend in Japan, BD1982, has an EP - Trails - that came out in October on Seclusiasis. We did a remix for him, added some recordings of squirrels, acoustic guitar from Evan Wilder, and Sam Moskalik even played the djembe. Our mix now is now available along with mixes from Gunhead, Jam City, Makumba Sound, and Brey. High-quality electronics for the dancefloor soundsystem or headphones in the forest. We love the mixes and we think you will as well - listen to previews via the stores below.

"Trails" (BD1982's original version which can be heard below) is taken from the BD1982 album on Seclusiais, Lets Talk Math - one of our favorites of 2010. BD1982 - Trails by Seclusiasis
