Clouds "Cloud Factory"

[pspring73]

@Cnutlyass, Agreed...what an era.



[laelamarie1]

Band is new to me - loved the look and sound - was this 70"s? because it transported me...

[3DDoor]

What a beautiful song, thanks for uploading this performance! Besides rainbows and oil, it also made me think about sand and glass and the wonder of the process of glass making, by heating sand. The airy reflective feeling seems related to 'Weather With You' by Crowded House from New Zealand. Maybe it’s a kind of universal immigrant melancholy.

[laelamarie1]

@3DDoor (see what I mean? Brilliant!!)

[drumdust]

Ah take me back to this time.

I'm tired of 2011.

[100milnic]

they were all over national triple j in early 1990's, but thing that strikes me now is lead vocalist has facial look lot like relatives from balkans

[tardisconsole]

Amazing song, amazing band.

Underrated like most awesome Australian bands.

[GabyLawson]

I followed this band to every pub, club and uni bar gig around Melbourne. They were awesome. I've almost never loved a band so much. I agree with hrhcrab - so underrated.

[drw900]

Pure joy !!

[unkiemonk]

ANU uni bar 1994ish.....miss the Clouds ....what a band!

[tatunkha]

Beautiful debut song from another great sydney act thanks for the upload & thanks Clouds for the cool music yeah.

[73aussie1]

what a good band- r.i.p my youth

[hq72hotmale]

i lived these beautifull days daze ;-) young and it all in front of me memories in sydney seeing this band everywhere they went still remember the parting coment on the last show see you on the reformation tour ;-)))))) they had a big impact on me always loved them

[eddillinger]

Ah the Clouds. Loved them, loved them, loved them.

I consider myself blessed that my immediate akward years just out of school were experienced with the superb sweet sound that this triumph of an aussie band delivered to me and those around me. I paid my dues - by what felt like single handedly spreading the word about this band in my sleepy home town whenever I had the chance.

[ChookMagnet]

That was such a great year for Australian music. Loved this song back then. Still do it seems... going over to itunes to buy it now :) Thanks for the tip Julesm4!

[hrhcrab]

criminally underrated band.

[DjAshleyHeyfron]

One of the best bands they should have been so much bigger AWESOME!

[batfinkandkarate]

wow... Jodi and Patricia with long hair, it seems like millions of years ago. seeing them in this format in the video here reminds me The Annandale circa 1990 with people screaming out "drum solo!"

[BigJulieWasDead]

clouds and honeys both amazing bands. Ah, youth is wasted on the young :-)

hmm, are there any honeys videos, hace to have a look?

[fatpizzza]

good old clouds ,i saw this band in sydney they were great live . shame they never made it around the world.thanks for posting this video,keep up the good work guys.

[spoonster05]

Yep, Honeys were great as well, think i've still got 'Man Who Was Through With The World' on vinyl somewhere

[7223Tanya]

I can't believe there are others out there who spent their days in Red Eye etc. Finally some chicks who could play Rickenbackers (along with Lush from the UK) Jodi and Trish had great harmonies and great melodies. Where's Trish now?And anyone remember the Honeys on Waterfront?

[palenoise]

Damn Red Eye was so expensive but they had rare stuff. I used to got to Pitt st. at those 3 or 4 second hand stores that were right next to each other and spend hours upon hours finding stuff I cherished for years

[Julesm4]

Does anyone know where I could get a copy of this song as a mp3? I love it!

[SeahorseMairi]

Check iTunes, the Clouds have started to release all their songs there :-)

[percy888ferry]

@Julesm4 available on iTunes YAY!

[percy888ferry]

@Julesm4 TI's now available on iTunes - YAY!

[voxpop2000]

I've been looking for this song for ages, a classic recording from a great period for Aussie bands... but it's spoilt a bit by the fact that there's only audio in the right hand side - what happened there? I'm guessing it's mono but why just one side of stereo?

[0gnulauqa]

I find I get both channels when I listen in HQ - why this should be (that stereo should feature as special high quality) is anyone's guess.

[verve71]

Good one. So simple, yet so effective...

[73ENERGY]

Best song by The Clouds!!!

[itsnotbrainscience]

Fucking LOVE Rickenbackers!

[itsnotbrainscience]

me too!

[scifitim]

I've got the double signed 7" of this on the Red Eye records label.....

[noteatpig2getha]

I have an unsigned copy in really good condition. I used to spend ages in Red Eye, Phantom and Waterfront.

[scifitim]

Hey so did I, used to go in on A sat morning, start at the old Red Eye in the Amex (now NRMA) building downstairs, then to Metropolis in Mid-City Centre, then down George St to all the 2nd hand stores and Phantom, then Waterfront when it was down near Central Station....fantastic times and fantastic music....

[stylemer]

Beautiful song, embodies all the hopefulness that pop should. I recall hearing it on JJJ in what, 1990? in my lounge room in Glebe, in the days when you could actually have the radio on without wanting to change channel every second song. Went straight out and bought the 7". Still their best song I reckon. I saw them at the first Big Day Out, everyone else, but for a few thousand die-hard pop fans, was watching Nirvana. Their loss.

[JANGLEPOP1]

Thanks again SeahorseMairi for another great video. Fabulous band who deserved great success. Talent, it appears, is never rewarded.

[pathdaly]

2nd your last sentence.

[4987angrydwarves]

I loved all the early Clouds dongs, like this one - and then they got heavy and obsessed. A real shame!

Anyone know what Jodi and Trish are doing now?

[loosearse]

so many memories watching and listening tothese clouds songs - remember seeing them in brissie years ago they were awesome and loved them since, and rediscoveredthen here. many thanks

[jonescg]

The best female vocal duo in Australia. Awesome!

[babysunshine2]

Thanks for posting this vid, I have been looking for it on You Tube for a while now. Clouds deserved a lot more credit than they got.I remember listening to this song in the Terrace House in Newtown I lived in the early 1990's.
