MH-245 Daedelus - Denies The Day's Demise  The mighty Daedelus returns with his new Mush full-length, the fifteen track dancefoor masterpiece, Daedelus Denies The Day's Demise. With a slight tweak to the formula, Daedelus' magic music box has cranked out a project of techno inspried programming infused with Brazilian Bossa Nova, complete with shakers, hand claps, congas, and other mysterious percussion. Of course, the multilayered melding of disparate sounds from far-off times that Daedelus has built a career on remain the focus of each mix. Whether the music reaches you through sweaty club speakers or the refreshing cool of headphones, it will become clear on first listen that this album could only be the production work of Daedelus. |

| "Aye, but he's following too fast," grumbles Daedelus to himself, "he's treading on my heels." So begins this sonic narrative, at times as Joycean as its fictional narrator. Fabulously eclectic in stylings and moods, Daedelus plunders everything from spy TV theme tunes, Steven Jesse Bernstein spoken word, Weisberg-Roberts' own trademark bass clarinet, samba, Waitsian bone machines, bossa nova, New Order bass lines and Bernard Herrmann, to electro (sometime piercing sometime wobbly) and techno (one moment all sea shanty, the next all pounding nails). It's an alchemy that sometimes bites off more than it can chew ("Our Last Stand") but is never less than inventive. At its best it's uncannily dreamlike and resonant, coupling bold juxtapositions with mantra-like repetitions apt to turn on the tiniest proverbial sixpence when least expected. - Mojo |
