Review by Matthew Fletcher

Cloud Seed, the second studio album by British electronic music duo Vex'd, is a sonic journey through a dystopian world. The album, released in 2008, features a blend of dubstep, industrial, and experimental electronic music.

The opening track, "Cloudburst," sets the tone for the album with its ominous, rumbling basslines and distorted vocals. The following tracks, such as "Gunnman" and "Nails," continue to build on this dark and foreboding atmosphere with their aggressive beats and haunting melodies.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Pop Pop VIP," which features a glitchy, stuttering beat that is both disorienting and captivating. The track also incorporates snippets of dialogue from the film Blade Runner, adding to the album's overall futuristic and dystopian feel.

Notes

Liner notes:
"We wrote most of these tracks between late 2006 and early 2007, as part of our second album. Before we could finish the album however, we had moved away from each other, to different cities, in different countries. We wanted to keep writing together, but geography and work made it too hard.
Eventually the moment for further work on the album passed and we moved on to other projects, in music and elsewhere and left this album to sleep.
In the middle of 2009, the label contacted us to say that they wanted to release this music, unfinished or not. By this point so much had changed we could not go back to the space we were in when writing these tracks. So we didn't try, we let them be what they are. To change them would be to try to rewrite the moment we were in at that time.
A lot of people have asked where we went after the first album. Many of them hadn't heard our singles & remixes that followed it.
So this is for everyone who wanted to know."

I feel like that's what he was trying to do: take you on a dark journey then quickly whisk you back into reality. I don't know how much I like it either, but it's his choice as a musician and I respect it.
