MH-031 Daedelus - Impending Doom/Just Briefly  Daedelus commemorates the release of his Mush full-length, Exquisite Corpse, with the single Impending Doom/Just Briefly. Album versions of “Impending Doom,” featuring MC extraordinaire MF Doom, and “Just Briefly” are each paired with remixes by enigmatic English producer Domu and his alter ego Umod. “Impending Doom” is given a dance floor facelift, finding Doom as at home over this style of production as he is on gritty hip-hop beats, and “Just Briefly” is reworked into a head-nodding downtempo track. Also included is the “Impending Doom” accapella, for Djs that have always wanted to work with the metal-faced MC. A great collaborative effort, this single is a must for all fans of Daedelus, MF Doom, and Domu. |

| One of the world's most prolific music makers, it's hard to fault anything Doom turns his mic to. Here, he casts eccentric beat maker Daedalus in the guise of a villain; the highest accolade from a man who refuses to be seen without a cartoon mask. According to Daedalus, Doom arrived at his studio with a blank piece of paper and improvised lyrics on the spot, almost missing a flight home in the process. Clever, warped and childishly comic, his rhymes hit the mark every time. Laid over a peculiar blend of '40s soundtrack samples and twisted beats, it's a truly original cut - probably the best on the album. - Blues & Soul |
