daedelus - love to make music to REVIEW

daedelus' new disc dropped today and although the beats are more straight forward then past albums, he is still a master of bending genres. he'll drop a beat driven wobbler featuring rappers paperboy and taz ("touchtone"), and then surprise you with a disco-esque track like "make it so." yet, there is a continuity to the album (mostly production technique and sound design) that keeps the whole thing flowing.

like most daedelus albums, though, a few tracks wander off. for example, Hrs:Mins:Secs, which was released as an EP before appearing on this disc, is driven by a hot broken beat. but it never goes anywhere. the beat never syncs up and he never comes close to any kind of melody. hardcore daedelus fans will say "that's his style," or "that's what's great about it," but i'm not buying it.

if your not familiar with daedelus or don't own any past albums, it'll take you a few times through to warm up this one. "assembly lines" didn't really get my head bobbin til the 2nd or 3rd listen but now i'm pumpin it in my car. if you're familiar at all with what daedelus is about you should pick this one up.

STANDOUT MOMENT:
the synth melody that drops half way through "assembly lines"
