As of the first notes of this Exquisite Corpse we are plunged in a soft and vaporous ECRIN. We bathe in a subtle liquid. The invitation is enticing, like the promise to hear Alice with the country of the wonders of the hip hop. The English label Ninja Tune had known to allure us last year with the exit of envo?»tant Music By Cavelight of Blockhead, producer new-yorkais comparse of Aesop Rock and, more recently, of Cage. It is now with the turn of another beatmaker ravir us by composing an album very attaching, whose memory is tough a long time after the first listenings. The universe of Daedelus, Californian producer and sound architect of The Weather, attracting, is worked, class and blazing. It seems to take shape out of star around the orchestrations accompanying films by the Hollywood golden age: it is its majestic gimmick, the principal compost of its sonic research. Someone said/California smells like this in dreams.

It is little to say that the compositions of Daedelus are fresh. But beyond that, they manage not to give up of anything the musical ambition and the sophistication. A great number of pieces testify to a work on the sequence, as for example this challenge taken up to make m?©lodieux a small chopping of viola in cascade, a mixture of toothing-stone and soprano voice, an obvious box with rate/rhythm, in turn minimalist and robotics, and ribambelle of chimes, guitars varied, interlacings of the cords and percussions. The incongruity of this enumeration, added to the report that many titles are unforgettable, is enough to suggest the measurement of the talent of the beatmaker. One realizes some in ' The Trains Are Now So Clean': it should be called Daedelus to make a success of the marriage of a large beat boom-bap and an agreement of stripped piano.

The skewer of guests whom it brings together for this album adapts to wonder with its moderate tablecloths of sounds. The raps of traditional invoice, like those of Scienz Of Life or Cyne, are distilled in the medium of choruses of one film with water of pink and Japanese cries, or between two naps, under reassuring palm trees. After an instrumental starting raised of a refrain fifties, on a beat evoking the happy time of the first stammerings of the trip-hop, when Lamb and Jay-Jay drew flock with clicks of Bristol-board, Daedelus receives great MF Doom. Flow just accelerated, heat of the syllables, sample susurr?© by a fairy. That which one knows under the identities of Daniel Dumile, Zev Luv X, Metal Fingers, Doom, King Geedorah, Viktor Vaughn or Supervillain affirm it: Ya' ll don' T know the same Daedelus I know. The whole on a melody hitchcockienne, like often in this disc, whose other constant is the presence of female refrains cut out in fine plates and been useful with a divine sauce. One consequently surprises oneself to dream with a theory of iconic actresses, as many appearances on the auditive screen: Ingrid Bergman, Joan Fountain, Kelly Grace, Day Dory, Eva Marie Saint, Kim Novak, Tippi Hedren, etc, AD libitum.

On the double title ' Welcome Home ', the found leg of Prefuse 73 would almost make us forget the disappointment of its last personal delivery, Surrounded By Silence. Then in recall, the quiet flow of Mike Ladd comes to marry the removed rate/rhythm of the productions of Daedelus: Yes Virginia, the Boogie Man is me. ' Exquis' Corpse accomodates French of including all taxes, successively T?©ki, Cuizi and Tido, on a music in fine droplets, deposited like their supra-positive words, method cou?© inarr??table for beginning of a strange, certainly, but euphoric day. After an introduction of human beatboxing, Hrishikesh Hirway illuminates as for him its piece by evoking the extreme and stripped experiments of Fog, handling same the one Sunday idea afternoon which never finishes, symbol of a life beautiful despite everything but struck of a ind?©crottable melancholy.

In spite of the quality of these collaborations, it is certainly on the titles where it is only found that Daedelus impresses us more. In ' The Crippled Hand ', on the sample of a flight of pipeau, a voice in Shirley Bassey coats a beat crushed and industrial but inspired and alleviating, until the arrival, halfway, of coppers in Marvel Comics. The suspended piano, almost d?©saccord?©, of ' Now & Sleep ', cohabits for its part with buckled bpm, an oneiric song and a psychedelic loop, in a harmonious mixture of all the ingredients. And it is with ' Fallen Love' that the head of work of the album is reached. A perfect production where all is in its place: percussions, bleep laser, soft voice of woman in crescendo of violins, melody hypnotizing as the band its of a film of Almod??var. does C you think you might cut fallen in coils?: undoubtedly of this piece, yes.
Remainder of very high behaviour from beginning to end, this album is an exquisite corpse with the manner of those of the surrealist ones, where the inventiveness and the any power of the personality override chaos and give to the unit a single colouring, raising it well beyond an accumulation without style. If Daedelus delivers to us a disc labyrinthian and yet coherent, it is for better confusing us by the simplicity of its talent, its sure taste and its gift of the musical atmospheres. To pass to side would be an error: rather run to lose you there!

Best Cuts: ' Fallen Coils '; ' Now & Sleep '; ' Thanatopsis '.
you just never know when you're living in a golden age.

This Santa Monica, California born and raised producer/DJ plays all of the instruments that you hear on his records. DAEDELUS was first schooled in bass clarinet and double bass, then more ghetto trained in piano and electric bass, accordian, omnichord, melodica, and his four string, modified tuning guitar. He uses every kind of vintage drum machine and keyboard possible, often roland tr-606, roland sh-09, "various kinds keyboards and noisemakers", effects pedals and more. He plays directly into Pro-tools and uses it to arrange, sequence and mix his music. His pallette for sampling is ultra diverse. He's not your conventional beat-digger kinda cat, he's more of a sound-source fiend. From classical to gospel and electro to new-jack-swing-rave, free-jazz to Japanese pop sounds, nothing get's overlooked.
