MH-232 Daedelus - Exquisite Corpse  The new release from Daedelus, Exquisite Corpse is an ode to, and a lament for hip-hop culture. Featuring solo contributions and collaborative efforts with guests whose performances range from traditional (MF Doom, Sci from Scienz of Life) to poetic (Mike Ladd, Cyne, Laura Darling) to experimental (Prefuse 73, Hrishikesh Hirway of the One AM Radio, TTC, Jogger), Daedelus forms the seemingly disparate elements of sound found on the album with a single-minded vision. The album's title has a triple meaning: a reference to death, a grand body of work, and the Impressionist group drawing game of the same name. The guest MCs and vocalists contrast their own styles with Daedelus' sugar-laden undercoating proving that there are no limits to what can be included on a hip-hop album. |

| Like the title, hip-hop eccentric Daedelus created an album using a sort of exquisite corpse approach to making music. Inviting a slew of guests that include Mike Ladd, MF Doom, Prefuse 73, CYNE, TTC, Jogger, One AM Radio's Hirshikesh Hirway, and vocalist Laura Darling, each contributor provides Daedelus plenty of disparate material that he molds into a surreal collage of melodies and avant-electronics, all the while lamenting the demise of hip-hop as we know it. - Other Music |
