The recordings on this CD document the evolution of Cloud Cult's art from the teen years (early 90s) up until 2002. For any Cloud Cult fan, this album is a must. "Lost Songs from the Lost Years" contains an archive of previously unreleased closet recordings that, until now, have literally been locked away in cardboard boxes.
Serving as a sort of documentary, made up of audio snapshots taken over an 11 year period, this album is digitally remastered for CD, but preserves the original live recording studio quirks, including buzz, hiss, chuckles, grunts, coughs and random mumblings. "Lost Songs from the Lost Years" documents everything from the artist's early days, recording with a tape player in his childhood bedroom's closet, through his college years, writing music with hand built electronics, an array of kitchen utensils, and instruments donated by friends. --Note: This album takes the place of Cloud Cult's"Shade Project" which is permanently sold out.DL
Great stuff.
