	Daedelus: Of Snowdonia: Pitchfork Record Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Daedelus seems to have unusually high regard for his source material, and his samples correspondingly maintain their historical sediment despite his anachronistic dust-off.
		Daedelus has chosen samples of a substantially more unified ilk here, and to dizzying effect, he often hurdles through them seven or eight at a time.
		In addition, Daedelus intrudes upon his samples more: guitar, standard IDM color and drum effects, and even his own voice peek into the mix, hoping to bridge the distance between the sampled fragments and the new audience.

	Daedelus - Invention (Plug Research)
		Daedelus' sample choice is mainly first rate, pulling from old Hollywood movie soundtracks, jazz and big bands, and is always accompanied by beats that twist the sound sources without subverting them.
		Daedelus should continue to seek out collaborators and contributors, as they add some color to his formula.
		In the end, Daedelus finds himself sitting on the fence between accomplished electronic music and a land of musical treasures yet to be explored.

	Unearthing Daedelus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Like an electric amusement park in slow motion, Daedelus best represents what could be the binary dreams of computers after their human counterparts unplug and shutdown for the night.
		Frankly, even Daedelus isn't quite sure what kind of artist he is, though for the record, he has been formally trained on double bass and bass clarinet and studied jazz at USC.
		Daedelus provides less than conventional hip-hop beats for the album while the lyricists smash political slandering and ad hoc imagery into some of the strangest, if not funniest, hip-hop that's been released.

		Let me take a moment to hit the rewind button… This is a record that has been out for a few months that we’re just now getting around to reviewing, but still think it deserves more attention than it got.
		Daedelus returns this time around with a mixed bag of an album in terms of style, guest collaborators, and quality.
		Daedelus’ rhythmic style is characteristically choppy and Doom’s pipes skip and sputter along as gravelly and gripping as you’ve come to expect.

		Daedelus invites local MC talents Busdriver and Sach to flow over the masterful bonus versions of "Quiet Now" and "Pursed Lips Reply." Invention unfolds in dynamic ranges of emotion.

		Daedelus is now found pouring lighter fluid on the turntables at dublab.com, fretting endlessly over his live set, and generally thinking in threes and fours.

		Named after the mythic character of Greek legend, Daedelus (aka Alfred Weisberg-Roberts) shares more with his namesake than mere appellations - with both famed for their ability to craft beautiful objects from whatever materials were at hand.
		The favoured name of LA-based Alfred Weisberg-Roberts, Daedelus proved his sampling credentials with the rimy beats of 'Exquisite Corpse' - and whilst a similar strain of structure is ev...

		Daedelus has a knack for finding the hidden common denominator between modern electronic music and the sounds of yesteryear.
		With 30ies, 40ies and 70ies inspired grooves, Daedelus gradually begins to venture into the L.A. afterdark, by defying genres such as downtempo and hip hop.
		The perfect melding of organic and analog orchestration, Daedelus has created a musical realm that reflects the antiquated desolation of the Kingdom of Wales, based on his own perception and experiences.

	Daedelus - Free Music Downloads - MP3 Downloads - Download.com Music
		Daedelus, the underground Los Angeles DJ/producer, dazzles with sampler proficiency and beat making, but 'his songwriting and musicianship that sets him apart from other bedroom electronic musicians.
		The combination of his personal interests (Victorian Dandyism, invention, Wales, martial arts, chance and coincidence) with his musical influences (film scores, old school Rave, techno and muddy pop) have created a signature style that could be described as freewheeling, experimental, plunderphonic, whimsical, symphonic, off-kilter electronic dance music.
		Under the Daedelus moniker, Alfred has released five full-length albums in as many years: Invention (2002), Rethinking The Weather (2003), Of Snowdonia (2004), Exquisite Corpse (2005) and Denies The Days Demise (2006).

	Daedelus: Rethinking the Weather: Pitchfork Record Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		That's why the new Daedelus album is a little perplexing: It's a "rethinking" of this year's The Weather, an album that found Busdriver and Radioinactive unleashing arrhythmic non-sequiturs and product placement over Daedelus' harp-filling, beat-killing wingtip hip-hop.
		The first sound on the new album is a sample: "We broke up because there were intergroup pressures and it was an experiment" (okay, it was on the original album, too, but still-- the first thing you hear?!).
		To ignore this possibly fictional animosity for a moment, The Weather's beats were actually pretty inspired, especially given that Daedelus was an IDM artist sampling ultra-vintage 78s for the Plug Research label long before he ever attempted a project like this one.

	:: urban smarts . com \| daedelus : the household ep \| album review ::
		If now Scott decides to let Daedelus run free on one of the first releases, the confusion of the banal is as safely programmed as are the sounds dramatically altered that Daedelus offers on his "The Household EP", a six track quick serve.
		And while we should know better, we are still a little frustrated when we struggle to chase down all the melodic structures a "Snooze Button" offers, always one or three steps behind.
		Because Daedelus is a master of parallel progression.

		DAEDELUS Well, I use things like toy pianos and instruments It can be so tough to be secure with this kind of stuff, this grand experiment that you constantly do in the studio.
		DAEDELUS And sometimes if listeners don’t come up with a scenario for the song somehow, and don’t make internal connections with it quickly enough, they’re just going to dismiss it.

	Eastern Developments Music \| Daedelus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		DAEDELUS was first schooled in bass clarinet and double bass, then more ghetto trained in piano and electric bass, accordian, omnichord, melodica, and his four string, modified tuning guitar.
		Usually reaching much faster tempos then he composes at, DAEDELUS is known to put Q-Tip at 45 on top of krunk Squarepusher, Stevie Wonder's “Golden Lady” on top of Prefuse 73’s Divine Styler vocal chop and all kinds of stuff on top of, or next to, “Meteor” by Nobukazu Takemura.
		His recent DJ sets have visited concentrated areas of ragga-jungle, electro-hop, and sad or “dying” songs by artists like Godspeed You!Black Emperor, the Smiths, Lush, “Adagio for Strings” by Samuel Barber and tracks from the soundtrack to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

		Daedelus, an electronic artist who combines hip-hop elements into his work, has created a remix album based on instrumental tracks from "Weather", a 2003 album featuring lyricists Busdriver and Radioinactive.
		Daedelus has cut up, smashed and reworked the original tracks to produce a funky album that's amazing.
		After listening to this album, I've got Daedelus to thank for changing my mind about remix albums—at least for now.

		Longtime readers know that Daedelus is a Beef favorite because of the panache with which the man programs and performs his music.

	Ninjatune Releases - Denies The Day's Demise
		There are no collaborations here, Daedelus choosing to strip right back to his own music and voice.
		A thematic and musical tour de force which repays repeated listenings, Daedelus' "Denies The Day's Demise" is all about raging against the dying of the light, the romance of the night and the sheer arse-waggling marvellousness of latino rhythms.
		“Daedelus remains one of the outstanding producers out there right now, every track fizzes with ideas, pushings hip-hops parameters beyond their outerlimits.

	Daedelus Denies the Day's Demise, MP3 Album Music Download at eMusic
		Daedelus' fifth album in five years Denies the Day's Demise continues the Santa Monica soundscaper's brilliant string of records.
		His previous album's excellence made it seem like Daedelus was working at his peak but amazingly he not only equals that album but surpasses it, creating his most satisfying album since his debut.
		All the ingredients of the usual sonic feast are present in copious amounts; beats that bob and weave like punch-drunk boxers, inventive samples drawn from unique and obscure sources, a whimsical sense of humor, and seriously good songcraft.

	DAEDELUS - Invention
		Hailing from Santa Monica, California, young producer Daedelus was first heard on the Dublab compilation released just a year ago.
		As he prepares to release an EP on Scott Herren’s Eastern Developments label, Daedelus offers his first full length album, released on Los Angeles-based Plug Research.
		Through the unusual settings of this album, the man transgresses much of the established rules of electronica to comfortably establish himself in the surroundings of West Coast collective Anticon.

	Daedelus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The Los Angeles bedroom electronic artist weaves strange and brilliant little wordless stories from wildly disparate sound sources: keyboard clacking and modem whine, ambient electronic noise, sampled strings, and organic sounds from nature.
		Daedelus debuted in 2001 with the little heard Her's Is>[sic] on Phthalo Recordings, a breaks-filled hardcore electronic record as indebted to the likes of Satie, Cage, Mingus, and P-Funk as to his 21st century IDM peers.
		The hip hop influence grew on 2003's The Quiet Party, a kind of super appendix to Invention, on which Daedelus turned over those genre-blurring tracks to an underground hip hop all-star cast including Busdriver, Madlib, High Priest from Anti Pop Consortium, and Abstract Rude.

	Daedelus - Denies The Days Demise : album review
		Unlike many exercises in glitchful technocentric hip-hoppery, Santa Monica's Daedelus has elected to eschew chummy collaborations and fully go it alone for his first album for Ninja Tune.
		Curiously though, the sharp bends and disparate dimensions of Denies The Days Demise could be the work of a variety of digitized pranksters.
		With a twisting palette of globetrotting tempos and time-shifting juxtapositions, Daedelus leaves little cause for complaint for those with attention deficit disorder.

		Daedelus has collaborated with other rappers before on his "The Weather" album with mixed results.
		Daedelus instrumentals are heavy on the mental, matching up old jazz standards, bossanova, classic b&w hollywood orchestral music, etc. with breakbeats and acoustic guitar.
		if you are farmiliar with Daedelus' other work, this album may come as a suprise when you first listen to it.

		Daedelus is by far one of the most innovative names in electronic music, and music in general.
		This is a deep listening magical experience and some people will scratch their heads at this album at first listen but give it a chance and it will grow on you- (which is why this CD is having a hard time exiting my player).
		His trademark ditties are all here, of course, but this album is more "Invention" and less "Of Snowdonia" or "EC." This album, in terms of mood and pace, is more upbeat, one song quickly easing into the next, and in terms of sound quality, it's superb.

		Daedelus' fourth album finds the Santa Monica-based producer at the peak of his considerable powers.
		Along with Prefuse 73, Dabrye, Jason Forrest and a few others, Daedelus is keeping experimental techno (or whatever you want to call it) alive with records like this, records full of humor, brains, passion and breathtaking sounds.
		Exquisite Corpse definitely lives up to half of its title and you would have to be the other half to pass up a chance to check it out.

	DOA - Daedelus - Exquisite Corpse
		Other appearances, such as when French rap trio TTC, make island-flavored mincemeat out of a beat that Daedelus could’ve put on cruise control two albums ago, and these are less successful.
		The straight-up Daedelus tracks range from “eh” to “alright,” not because they aren’t skillful, acrobatic readings of whatever music strikes his ear at that point, but because they fail to improve on his prior work.
		Daedelus is a master at what he does, and what he does is different than virtually everything else around him, but he’s playing a little too close to the vest here, trading much of his style for a little more beat.
