MH-255 Pedro - You, Me & Everyone  Fresh off the triumph of Mush’s 2006 re-release of his self-titled debut (where he took the 2003 Melodic version back to the studio for a sonic overhaul), London’s mighty Pedro returns with You, Me & Everyone. While comparisons to artists like Four Tet and Minotaur Shock have been natural on his past releases, Pedro approaches this latest set of compositions in a way that continues to establish his unique take on folk and jazz based electronica. Free-jazz horn blasts ring out with new vigor, drums hit a bit harder, and Pedro continues to forge new elements into his song craft, even raising the ghosts of Liquid Liquid and A Certain Ratio on a track or two. Me, You & Everyone will surely be the album that secures Pedro a position among the game’s elite. |

| James Rutledge (aka Pedro) has released two albums and an EP, all of which have received rave reviews from the British press. His music blends elements of Prefuse 73 style cut up hip-hop with post-rock and electronica. While the good tracks are generally solid, there are a few very challenging free jazz style numbers that get a bit exhausting. - J Select |
