Daedelus Impending DOOM, Ninja Tune EP, 12" Zen 12171 vinyl, 2006
Featuring songs taken from the Exquisite Corpse LP with remixes: Impending Doom ft., MF Doom; Domu, Impending Doom; Just Briefly, Umod Remix, 2006
"The West Coast's most eccentric (and probably nicest) beatmaker returns with a couple of choice cuts from his marvellous album, Exquisite Corpse. First up, Impending Doom features a guest appearance by the one and only, the metal-faced MF Doom (recent Dangerdoom star turn and Gorillaz etc., etc. …). Daedelus gives him some 40s movie soundtrack and samba shizzle to work with and Doom picks it up, runs with it and it's Touch Down!!!"
"Going the other way round the block, Just Briefly doesn't feature anyone
but Daedelus himself, so the sideburn surfer chops it up and rides the thing
out over a high bass and single guitar wave. Spacey, musical and quite
infinitely melancholic it sums up the Daedelus aesthetic perfectly. Clever
without being too clever, melodic without being twee, kitsch without being
ironic, a kind of wide-eyed, big-brained music that anyone (whose soul
hasn't been withered by working for a record company for a decade) should be able to get into.
"But there is more . . . Or two mores, anyway. Time to get 'broken' (or 'bruk
up'). Man like nice and unassuming Domu turns Impending Doom into an
insistent, dancefloor filling bouncer where the kicks are the bass and the
bass is the kick and all you can do is twitch around like a loon. For his
next trick, he transforms into Umod and offers a downtempo take of Just Briefly which is as moody as Bill
Murray and as atmospheric as ozone."
