In 2002 Clueso moves back to Erfurt and records the Rowdy-Club-Tape 2002. Another year later he starts producing his second album "Gute Musik" (featuring Blumentopf, Steer M, Tilmann Jarmer, Delhia, Tim Neuhaus and Jürgen Kerth), which was be finished by 2004. It does not contain any English tracks and concentrates on singing rather than rapping. In 2005 Clueso represented Thuringia with the song "Kein Bock zu geh'n" at the Bundesvision Song Contest. The same year he was partner of Start Ab, the 'biggest non-commercial remix contest in Europe'.

In 2006 Clueso released his third album called "Weit Weg" which means "far away". Again the album was relased by Four Music. The album is changing mood and style contiuously. It varies between influences of chilled pop, soul, funk and reggae.
Over the last two years Clueso toured with his band. They played over 120 club and festival gigs with a total crowd of 300,000.
On the album Clueso joined forces with the likes of Max Herre (former lead singer of Freundeskreis), Flowin'Immo, New Telephatics and Razkajam.
Ralf C. Mayer who also had produced "Gute Musik", the forerunner of the current album, and artists like Xavier Naidoo and Die Fantastischen Vier helped Clueso to find his sound, from sounds of whisper to grolling bitter thunder.
Clueso is truly one of the future stars in Germany as he is focused, talented and lucky enough to find a channel for his passion.

Clueso Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So Theorien und Prophezeihungen
Die von Celestine bis Nostradamus geh'n
Ich will nicht planlos reden, posen
Mit falschen Predigen
Mit ewigen Halbweisheiten
Die wir in Realitäten eh nicht leben
Aber selbst die Kleinsten fragen
Warum es keine Lösung gibt
Man Alltagsplagen nur mit Drogen killt
Gefühle am Sterben
Weil sie verheizt werden durch das Fernsehen
Friedensflaggen nur auf fremden Sternen wehen
(und wir entfernt von leben)
Woher bloß diese Spiegelung
Wie beim Phasendreher
Dass der Sklave nicht mehr frei sein will
Sondern Sklavenaufseher
Auf dass sich jeder verkriecht und
Das Klagen fällt schwer
Bis jedes Individuum verdaut es
Im Magen des Datenmeers
Vielleicht fehlt Information in unseren Genen
Sind Humanoiden nur Viren
In unser'm Sonnensystem?
Ich glaub' nix Weiteres
Weil Nation'n am Testen sind
Auf dass wir auf den Mars umsiedeln
Und auch den verpesten könn'n
The lyrics to Clueso's song "Migrant Souls" address various themes and concerns related to society and humanity. The opening lines express a sense of cynicism towards theories and prophecies, suggesting that the singer is not easily surprised or convinced by them. The mention of Celestine and Nostradamus references well-known figures associated with predictions and spirituality. The singer also criticizes the act of speaking without purpose, posing with false teachings, and half-truths that are not lived in reality.
The lyrics further delve into the frustration of not finding solutions to everyday problems and resorting to drugs to numb the pain. The mention of feelings dying because they are exploited by television reflects the idea that superficial entertainment and media consumption can devalue genuine emotions. The reference to peace flags waving only on distant stars suggests that true peace and harmony are abstract concepts rather than lived realities.
The lyrics also touch upon the concept of power dynamics and control. There is a reflection on the curious phenomenon where the oppressed no longer desire freedom but instead aspire to become the oppressors themselves. This observation highlights the damaging effects of oppression and the potential for individuals to internalize and perpetuate it.
The lyrics continue to explore the overwhelming influence of the digital world, metaphorically referring to it as the "ocean of data." The mention of information lacking in our genes questions whether humans are merely programmed beings and whether there is more to our existence. The reference to testing nations alludes to the ongoing exploration of space, hinting at the possibility of human migration to Mars with the potential to repeat the mistakes made on Earth.
