Cloud One was always a studio outlet for Patrick Adams to experiment. Even after the success of
Atmosphere Strut, Adams continued to experiment with synthesizers (in particular the minimoog) to make
this his signature sound or 'voice' as he called it. An indeed his usage of the synth was completely different
from some of his contemporaries. With titles like Jump, Jump, Jump, Funky Track, Stomp Your Feet and
Dance or Music Funk, it was clear the spirit of this music was in Harlem. It's no surprise Adams felt at
home in the many P&P subsidiaries. "P&P became this place where artists could be free, as opposed to an
Atlantic Records or a Columbia Records, where everything is high spit and polished...We never told
anybody on P&P what they could or couldn't do, what they should or shouldn't do. It was like, 'Go for it,
if you want to bang pots and pans together, that's your sound." And what a Funky Sound it was.
