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.

If the full force of The Weather is too much for you then check this. This is more or less Daedelus freestyling with his sample banks, cross wiring breaks, killer old school hip-hop and ancient music styles in perfect company. Highly recommended. - Pelican Neck
