█░ ░█
█░ "One of LA's most daring new artists wears a buzzing halo. This ░█
█░ young musical romantic weaves together a true "love-sound" that ░█
█░ falls between honeyed melody and avant-electronics. Daedelus ░█
█░ chops and splices disparate acoustic sources into incredible ░█
█░ works of staggering resonance. His production style is very ░█
█░ unique; it has a precise impact that will make you wonder if ░█
█░ youÆre dreaming or dancing." -PlugResearch.com blip ░█
█░ ░█
█░ "Of Snowdonia, Daedelus's second full-length for the LA-based Plug ░█
█░ Research label, takes its conceptual inspiration from Snowdon, an ░█
█░ actual Wales mountain (and incidentally the U.K.'s highest peak) that░█
█░ towers over the flat graying landscape of the surrounding country- ░█
█░ side. As might be expected, however, the idea is frankly incidental ░█
█░ to whatever pleasures the music affords, and in this case there are ░█
█░ many. As on its predecessor Invention, Daedelus wields a mighty ░█
█░ sampler, as he boldly plunders his huge library of sounds to create ░█
█░ dense collages that encapsulate everything from jazz to hip-hop to ░█
█░ film noir. Superficially, Daedelus's approach resembles Amon Tobin's ░█
█░ in that both produce masterful compositions using materials sampled ░█
█░ from vast aural archives, but Daedelus's tracks are less fixated on ░█
█░ dance-based constructions. Instead, he constructs evocative collag- ░█
█░ istic compositions that constantly surprise as they pursue unexpected░█
█░ pathways. This doesnÆt mean that theyÆre lacking in beats either, just█
█░ that they emerge organically out of the pieces rather than have every-█
█░ thing else constellate around them. What also distinguishes Daedelus's█
█░ style is that he samples largely acoustic older material (piano, ░█
█░ acoustic bass, clarinet, saxophone, orchestral strings) but then ░█
█░ marries it to fresh funk and hip-hop beats and colours it further ░█
█░ with subtle electronic and synth enhancements, resulting in a ░█
█░ uniquely contemporary concoction; the decayed surface crackle of the ░█
█░ older recordings also adds to the music's textured qualities." -blip ░█
█░ ░█
█░ This is an interesting comparison to Rethinking The Weather, which was█
█░ in some ways Daedelus's second solo album. This is much more mellow,░█
█░ a nice piece to ponder the wilds of Wales. Odd notes: the Shinkansen ░█
█░ is the name of Japan's high-speed bullet-trains. Hiraethus is some- ░█
█░ thing in Welsh. Enjoy, from Chromance! And please buy it if ya dig! ░█
