MH-218 Daedelus - Rethinking The Weather  After a string of successes as a producer of eccentric electronica for well respected labels Plug Research and Eastern Developments, Daedelus hooked up with MCs Busdriver and Radioinactive for the Mush release, The Weather. Using the instrumentals from that album as a base, Daedelus has chopped, relayered, remixed, twisted, and given life to a new instrumental project dubbed Rethinking The Weather. Fans of the original should take note that this is not your typical hip-hop instrumental album, where the music simply is mixed-down without the vocals. Although the original was used as a starting point, the end result is something entirely unique and a glimpse into the mind of a one-of-a-kind artist. |

| This is creative, charming stuff worth seeking out. - Synthesis / A record that loves music, but it loves hip-hop's way of reinterpreting it most. - Magnet / Highly recommended. - Pelican Neck / Once you hear this disc you'll replay it over and over again. - Canned |

| Blending tapered-knicker nerdiness with hypermodern digital effects, SoCal's Daedelus is wedged between the Burberry-scarved world of Goddard and the cyborg-dominated world of Ghost in the Shell. Rethinking the Weather is a pastiche of instrumentals from his release The Weather - for which Daedelus teamed up with the droll, space-cadet-ish emcees Busdriver and Radioinactive. Rethinking the Weather preserves the original's characteristic zaniness, mixing cheesy Archies-style organ with driving thwicka-thwicka-boom percussion, lazy whistling, and children's toy instruments. What results are instrumental remixes with as much narrative arch as the original cuts. - XLR8R |
