| If MCs Busdriver and Radioinactive were applying for secretary jobs, they'd pretty much have the other applicants left out in the cold. The verbal WPM of these two is enough to make a rapping hummingbird dizzy. Not many hummingbirds rap, of course, as few have access to turntables and record shops. So, then, man must make the effort to take flight himself - thus, the aptly named Daedelus, whose production sets this duo (The Weather) apart from other motormouthed novelty acts. Colorful tracks such as "Fine for a Robot," "Break for 2300," and "Fizzing Energy Drink" boast a musical free association on par with the seemingly scatterbrained flow of Busdriver and Radioinactive, topic-hopping across a wide thematic spectrum from the banal to the absurd. The tracks with cohesive themes, such as "Glorified Hype Man" suggest a message in this madness, but it would take a linguist on amphetamines to fully decipher the high-velocity content. While Mush might not yet be a household name, strong showings such as this, along with releases by cLOUDDEAD and Clue to Kalo will surely keep the name on hand. - Rockpile |
