2) Clouds from Finland is an electronic music production team that consists of Tommi Liikka and Samuli Tanner. Tommi is a Helsinki native and Samuli comes from a small village deep in rural Finland. The pair met through mutual friends in 1999, and ever since planned on working on some music together, hindered by both working on various projects and shows of their own. The plan was finally realised after a string of coincidences and happy accidents led them to sharing a house in the northern suburbs of Helsinki.
Tommi is a veteran DJ and promoter who has been working hard to introduce people to the strange sounds emerging from the US west coast hip-hop underground, while keeping an ear open for various musical styles all sharing a common thread: bass weight. He has brought the music he believes in to the people of this cold northern nation by releasing numerous mixtapes, organising shows for artists he felt needed to be heard and by running his record label, Anti-Party Music.
Samuli has been producing and releasing electronic music under various aliases such as Ponytail and as part of the Dubbing Mixers project, as well as playing drums in noise/punk bands and co-running the Tuulanauhat record label. Samuli's signature production style, most audible in his Ponytail project, is a healthy mashup of lo-fi drones and sample-heavy cut n'paste workouts built into hip-hop instrumentals.
The combination of these musical influences is evident in Clouds - both members share an interest in the DIY aesthetic often connecting all kinds of music made with passion, not brains. And passion is a trait that overlaps any genre or style boundaries, leading to music that is willing to break the mold.
By 2006, Tommi was already deep into dubstep, and when the pair finally got together for a few fun and productive sessions trying to nail down the style, Clouds was born. The Clouds sound is like a soundtrack to the invasion of earth by little and green, but dubwise, aliens. It's a fresh take on the standards of dubstep, combining elements from video games, experimental music and hip-hop with deep melodic meditations and dancefloor-shredding basslines. Always keeping it fresh, Clouds tracks rarely tread a path they've previously stepped on. This has been noted by many of the scene's top DJ's, leading to Clouds being championed by people like Joe Nice, Geiom, Skream, N-Type, L-Wiz, DJ/Rupture and Tes La Rok. Not ones to leave the footwork for others, Clouds has also been travelling to spread their sound to various places such as China, France, UK (DMZ and Subdub among others), Russia, Ireland and Sweden.
3) Clouds was a Scottish psychedelic / prog rock band active from 1964 through 1971. Initially called The Premiers, and then 1-2-3, the band consisted of Ian Ellis (vocals, bass), Billy Ritchie (organ) and Harry Hughes (drums). As 1-2-3, the band had a headlining Marquee residency in 1967, attended by future rock luminaries such as David Bowie, Keith Emerson, Rick Wakeman, Yes, and King Crimson. Playing an early form of progressive rock two years before it became fashionable, the band were signed by Brian Epstein and Nems, but crucially, did not release any recordings, ironically leaving the progressive scene to flourish and leave them behind, though they much to do with influencing it in the first place.
The band was then signed to Chrysalis, and released three albums on the labels Island and Chrysalis: Scrapbook (1969), Up Above Our Heads (1970) and Watercolour Days (1971). Many headlining tours in Europe and the USA followed, but the band were unable to creat sufficient public interest, and disbanded in late 1971.
Only some years later, a critical reappraisal of 1-2-3 led to the band being properly credited as a definitive precursor of the progressive rock movement. Billy Ritchie (the keyboard player) was credited as being the first keyboard player in rock to stand and take a leading role, paving the way for others like Emerson and Wakeman.
4) Clouds was formed in Sydney, Australia in 1989. The nucleus of the group was Jodi Phillis (born in Australia and raised USA) and the New Zealand born Tricia Young. Prior to being in the Clouds Jodi was a member of the short-lived 'The Nu-Genes', while Tricia had never been in a band at all. They met when mutual friends introduced them at a BBQ.Within a year, they were signed to Red Eye Records, having added Stuart Eadie on drums and Dave Easton on guitar. Later Raph Whittingham would replace Eadie, with Ben Nightingale stepping in for Easton.
Between 1990 and 1997, The Clouds put out seven singles (Hieronymus, Anthem, Say It, Bower Of Bliss, Alchemy's Dead, Here Now, Down From The Sky, Never Say Forever), 5 EPs (Clouds, Loot, Beetroot, Aquamarine Panel Van) four albums (the classic Penny Century, Octopus, Thunderhead, Futura), two compilations (Pre-Raphaelite, Collage) and numerous videos.
Starting out with a very strong pop element, their sound evolved into something tougher, darker and more experimental. The Clouds never achieved mainstream success in Australia however their records sold a consistently with Penny Century going gold. They had a large and loyal fanbase and toured in the US and Europe. In particular, Jodi Phillis continued to perform in numerous other bands and as a solo artist.
Part of the flourishing Australian independent music scene in the early 90's, that included The Falling Joys, The Hummingbirds, Ratcat and The Underground Lovers, The Clouds left an enduring legacy of articulate and gutsy rock and roll.
5) Clouds is a rock band from Boston, United States. They deliver unbridled action-rock harking back to the mid/late '90s Man's Ruin garage onslaught - which, in turn, owes its collective hearing loss to the likes of the Wipers, Bad Brains, Stooges, and MC5.
They say you can take the kid out of the rock, but you canโt take the rock out of the kidโฆor some shit like that. This is especially difficult when โthe kidโ in question is Cave Inโs Adam McGrath, fearless leader and vocalist/guitarist of Clouds, an outfit that delivers unbridled action-rock harking back to the mid/late-โ90s Manโs Ruin garage onslaughtโwhich, in turn, owes its collective hearing loss to the likes of the Wipers, the Bad Brains, the Stooges, and the MC5. So you can see what kind of lineage weโre talking about here. But waitโthatโs not all these Boston gents have to offer: From nasty psych and Southern power grooves to (believe it or not) โParty Grungeโ and saxโd-out dub, Legendary Demo has it all. Unlike anything else in Hydra Headโs vast back catalogue, this is truly a revelation.
6) Clouds from Perth, Scotland, is a duo formed by Calum Macleod and Liam Robertson. With a sound that has seen steady development from frenzied banger to subtle, inventive techno, they have garnered huge support from the reigning heavyweights of electronic music, itโs not often that an artist can count a list of artists like Richie Hawtin, The Chemical Brothers, Marcel Dettmann, Michael Mayer, Sven Vath, Chris Liebing, Boys Noize and Martin Gore as ardent supporters.
Part of Turbo Recordings core of young โNew Jack Technoโ artists, Tiga has championed their first releases, paving the way for a breakthrough year in 2013. A series of club 12โณs entitled โTannhauser Acid Worksโ, and a stockpile of dance floor weaponry is set for release on Gary Beckโs new label and Fifth Wall, as well as remixes for the likes of Hot Chip, and indie upstarts Blue Hawaii and Suuns.
Most significantly, the duo have just finished their debut album and itโs a brilliant and subtle collection of techno that comfortably situates them in the same league as UK masters Actress and Zomby. First listeners and key press have been blown away. The album is set for release in June, on Turbo Recordings.
Increasingly versatile as DJs, Clouds centre themselves with a foundation of powerful, big-room techno, but they skillfully incorporate influences that range from UK bass music, Electro, and House. In the tradition of the best UK DJs, they exhibit knowledge and range that is remarkable for their age. Watch outโฆ Clouds are unequivocally one of the brightest talents in electronic music.

Fantastic Tear
Clouds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wondering what it was that you were doing wrong
Got an unhealthy respect for my old man
Love everything you do
Funny, I love it when you don't hear me
So I can shed a fantastic tear
I felt so lonely but my friends were amused
Got an unnatural respect for my old man
Love what you put me through
Funny, I love it when you let me down
So I can shed a fantastic tear
For the way you make me feel
The song "Fantastic Tear" by Clouds is a melancholic tune that reflects on the complexity of love and relationships. In the opening lines of the song, the singer admits to worrying for too long about what their partner may have been doing wrong. This line hints at a sort of paranoia or anxiety that can build up in relationships, where one partner may begin to overthink and create problems where there may not be any. The following line about having an unhealthy respect for their old man adds to this sense of anxiety, as though the singer is worried about repeating the mistakes of their parents.
However, despite this worry and anxiety, the singer still loves everything their partner does. This seems to be the crux of the song - that sometimes love is complicated and messy, and we can still love someone despite their flaws. The line "Funny, I love it when you don't hear me" is particularly telling, as it suggests that the singer may not feel comfortable expressing their love directly to their partner. This could be due to their insecurities or their fear of rejection.
The second verse continues with this theme of complicated love, as the singer admits to feeling lonely upon hearing some "big news" from their partner. Despite this loneliness, their friends were amused by the news, indicating that the singer may feel isolated in their feelings. Like in the first verse, the line about having an unnatural respect for their old man adds to the sense of anxiety present in the song. The final line, "Love what you put me through," reinforces the idea that love can be both beautiful and painful.

I've sat here worrying for too long
I have been obsessing over this for a while
Wondering what it was that you were doing wrong
Thinking that you were doing something that was causing a problem
Got an unhealthy respect for my old man
I have a strange admiration for my father
Love everything you do
I love everything about you
Funny, I love it when you don't hear me
It's comical how I enjoy your absence, so I can express myself better
So I can shed a fantastic tear
So I can feel deeply and emotionally express myself in a fantastic way
When you told me the big news
When you gave me the significant update
I felt so lonely but my friends were amused
I experienced solitude, but my friends found it entertaining
Got an unnatural respect for my old man
I have an abnormal admiration for my father
Love what you put me through
I love the experiences that you make me go through
Funny, I love it when you let me down
Amusing how I enjoy being disappointed by you
For the way you make me feel
Because of how you make me feel, I can't help but shed a fantastic tear
