Artist:	DAEDELUS
Title:	A Gent Agent
Label:	LABORATORY INSTINCT (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	LI 004CD

"Acclaimed Los Angeles producer Daedelus fires his second salvo from the Berlin-based label Laboratory Instinct in the form of a new, full-length recording. A Gent Agent makes good on the promise made by the spy-meets-I-and-I spirit of the renowned bedroom artist's recent 'Meanwhile EP'. The BBC has called his music, 'fiendishly clever and devilishly original'. Pitchfork found his sounds 'effortlessly charming.' Audiences in Japan, Europe and the United States have witnessed the man the San Francisco Examiner called 'an alt-tronic genius' working his magic live."

Title:	Impending Doom/Just Briefly
Label:	MUSH RECORDS
Format:	12"
Price:	$7.50
Catalog #:	MH 031EP

"Daedelus commemorated the release of his Mush full-length Exquisite Corpse with the single 'Impending Doom/Just Briefly.' Previously only available digitally, album versions of 'Impending Doom,' featured emcee extraordinaire MF Doom, and 'Just Briefly' are each paired with remixes by enigmatic English producer Domu and his alter ego, Umod. 'Impending Doom' gets a dancefloor facelift, finding Doom at home with this style of production just as he is on gritty hip-hop beats. 'Just Briefly' is reworked into a head-nodding downtempo track. 'Impending Doom' a capella is for DJs who have always wanted to work with the metal-faced emcee. A great collaborative effort, this single is a must for all fans of Daedelus, MF Doom, and Domu."

Title:	Rethinking The Weather
Label:	MUSH RECORDS
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	MH 218CD

"Daedelus hooked up with emcees Busdriver and Radioinactive to produce Mush's February 2003 hit, The Weather. Using the instrumentals of that album as a base, Daedelus has chopped, relayered, remixed, twisted, and given life to a new instrumental project dubbed Rethinking The Weather. Fans of the original should take note that this is not your typical hiphop instrumental album, where the music is remixed without the vocals. Although the original was used as a starting point, the end result is something entirely unique and a glimpse into the mind of a one-of-a-kind artist."

Title:	Exquisite Corpse
Label:	MUSH RECORDS
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	MH 232CD

"Exquisite Corpse is an ode to and a lament for hip hop culture. Featuring solo contributions and collaborative efforts with guests whose performances range from traditional (MF Doom, Sci from Scienz of Life) to poetic (Mike Ladd, CYNE, Laura Darling) to experimental (Prefuse 73, Hrishikesh Hirway of The One AM Radio, TTC, Jogger), Exquisite Corpse's form combines disparate elements into Daedelus's single-minded vision. The album title's triple meaning -- a reference to death, a grand body of work, and the Surrealist group drawing game -- directly reflects the music's sum of the best elements of Daedelus's past productions. Guest emcees and vocalists contrast their own styles with Daedelus's sugar-laden undercoating, proving that there are no limits to what can be included on a hip hop album."

Title:	Daedelus Denies The Day's Demise
Label:	MUSH RECORDS
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	MH 245CD

"Electronic producer and sound archivist Daedelus returns with a new fifteen-track dancefloor masterpiece, Daedelus Denies the Day's Demise. Tweaking the controls of his magic music box once again, he cranks out a set of techno-inspired programming infused with Brazilian bossa nova, complete with shakers, hand claps, congas, and percussion. Daedelus has a knack for finding the hidden common denominator between modern electronic music and the sounds of yesteryear. His productions often contrast IDM-styled cut-ups with classic arrangements from the '30s and '40s."

On this -- the first ever vinyl release on Phthalo -- Alfred hosts a gathering of friends for the purpose of remixing a yet unreleased track of his entitled 'Axe-Murderation.'
