![]() The most interesting aspect of Invention is that it sounds so different from so much of the electronic music we're used to hearing - even in the realm of the so-called IDM. Even though he periodically finds a less than perfect match and we get a sort of unstable tonal relationship between the two, it's mostly spot on. ![]() I'm continually impressed by the way he's able to fit disparate elements together so well. It's about creating something new out of something old. It's sometimes difficult to tell where the existing recordings leave off and his synthetic backups begin, but in the end it doesn't really matter. Not that he's stylistically related to DJ Shadow in a big way, but he's something of a genius at taking old recordings and finding fascinating ways to put them together. Daedelus is one of the most creative samplers since DJ Shadow. I've heard most everything Daedelus has done thus far over his short, but prolific career and I must say, I keep returning to "Invention." It's one of those special albums made from pure inspiration, stunningly realized.
