Exquisite Corpse (4.3).......2006-06-12

One problem that plagues many collaborative albums is the dependency on all of the album's collaborators to maintain a certain level of quality throughout. If one musician is unable to keep up with that of another, the entire song ends up being brought down in quality and becomes reduced into nothing more than album fodder. Daedelus has collaborated with other rappers before on his "The Weather" album with mixed results. On "Exquisite Corpse" however, he manages to instill faith into those of us were less than impressed with his hip hop attempts on this album's predecessor.

From the track's first song, "Dearly Departed", you know this is going to be a daedelus album first and foremost. Unlike in "The Weather", his beats don't take the backseat to the album's rappers. "Dearly Departed", like many of the musician's songs is a soothing lullaby introduced by what sounds like a sound clip from what could easily be a piece of French New Wave Cinema. The hip hop kicks into full swing on the second track, "Impending Doom", appropriately named for its featuring of the prolific MF Doom. The song is short, but sweet, with thick drum beats and a fast tempo. The combination of the rapper's inventive rhymes with strings and samples that could be from a 40s romance film compliment each other nicely.

Where the album truly succeeds is with its inclusions of multiple song arcs. Everytime I listen to the album, I feel obligated to listen to three or four songs simply because of how well crafted they are. Both "The Crippled Hand" and "Welcome Home feat. Mike Ladd" are in this category, the former harkening back to Daedelu's ability to make drum repetitions that are both furious and elegant at the same time. As the song reaches its climax, you may as well be watching the climax of some obscure noir film. As the drums sound like they're atrophing and the beats become irregular, the listener realizes something big is about to happen. When the horns start sounding, the track becomes absolutely euphoric. Mike Ladd's rhyming on "Welcome Home" is both laid back and intelligent. It feels not quite like spoken word, but not quite like rapping. It positions itself on that happy path in between the two genres.

While a couple of the songs such as "Move On" (which features Sci - a rapper who instantly makes any track dull with his blasé rhyming) and "Cadavre Exquis" (which features the nasally rapping of TTC) are forgettable and almost always get skipped when listening to the album, there are enough quality tracks on this album to make it easily worth getting. This is how "The Weather" should have been done in the first place - with a happy equilibrium between beats and raps, instead of the latter dominating the former.

Very Good Daedelus Release.......2005-12-04

If you like your drum n bass dreamy with some emcees on a couple tracks this is the cd to get. Guys like NOBODY and Flunk are pretty good but Daedelus defintely takes the cake in this category. Thi salbum is definitely amazing but if you dig a little deeper you'll find true beauty in his earlier release, Invention.

Very good........2005-11-03

This is my favorite Daedelus album so far. The collaborations with MC's in particular are just out of sight. Mike Ladd, Cyne and MF Doom all deliver the goods on their respective tracks. "Move On" with Sci is a little less dope than all the others. (With the exception of "Cadavre Exquis" avec TTC, which I don't think I've ever listened to all the way through because it's lame. You suck, TTC, and it's not just because I'm a hater of frenchmen.)

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. It's not just a bunch of looped beats out of a can, but rather a choppy sea of percussion. It can be a bit trying, though. Definitely not for your average hiphop head, but fans of early Prefuse will be happy.

A small note about two songs: A co-worker of mine claims that "Just Briefly" is almost a direct sample of a Wagonchrist song. I hope he is mistaken, because it's the best instrumental on this album. "Thanatopsis" sounds like a direct descendant of "Denoument" from the Meanwhile EP. I put the two back to back on my iPod because they sound like one continuous song that way.

Original beats!.......2005-09-18

If you like DJ Shadow and RJD2 you should try out Daedelus. I'm not too familiar with his other albums but I picked up this one and dug it right away. There's maybe two bunk tracks (less then most albums). The rest is experimental and laid back beats. Definately original. Nice cover art. Try it out!

close to 5 stars, but not quite..........2005-04-01

if you are farmiliar with Daedelus' other work, this album may come as a suprise when you first listen to it. It doesnt have the same cohesive nature as Snowdonia or Invention, which in my opinion, keeps it very interesting. The instrumental tracks on here are the standouts, along with Impending Doom, where MF gets nice to a different beat than you will be used to hearing him rhyme over.
The only song on this album that gets skipped is cadavre exquis, which the album really could have done without.
The remixes on here from Prefuse and Jogger are two of the highlight songs for sure, definitely standout tracks.
Overall its probably his best album along with Invention, so pick it up quick

"The guitar is not dead. It is still humming and I believe in it. Copper wound is copper wound, today and yesterday. Magnets are magnetic, today and yesterday. Wood is wooden, today and yesterday. Electricity is electric, today and yesterday. These things shift in their own time and on their own basis. They are not forced and in my own capacity, I do not force them. The editor's role is Advocate. The rattle you hear, that is the energy and the idea. It is not all mine and it is not all theirs and it is not all yours. But it is all ours." "There was darkness before there was light, I guess. We live in between. Name is Thomas Lee // borne somewhere and will die somewhere too // currently living in Lawrence, Kansas. I reside here because neighbors are not so close and most of them are old and deaf already. Downtown where the hipsters are, I can walk amongst them and no one knows about the amps and guitars. No need to scream about the weirdness because I am invisible and alive // they let me walk fast and away. These are my people is one way or another and I refuse to belong to them. Live Young, Die Fast and Leave an Exquisite Corpse. I can't explain it any better than that." TL

Album Description

"A part-time proposition for Peter Hutchison, of underrated guitar rockers Subduing Mara, and Mr. Ray Neal, venerable guitarist for the late (?), great Miracle Legion, Lucas Shine is one of those rare side projects that stands up to the parent bands.

Kind of a mixture of ML's warm folk/rock/pop and Mara's songs and emotional intensity, Mr. Ray's furry guitar licks support and illuminate Hutchison's acoustic rhythms and unusually restrained (and stunningly effective) vocals in a way that makes the excellent tunes, all penned by Hutchison, simmer as if they might explode in passion or fury but never will.

"Beautiful Lie" (quite), "Promises", "It's Yours", "The Lucky One" and the gently swirling "Wrong Again" are among the best tunes Hutchison has yet written, with memorable melodies, to-the-bone lyrics and understated performances. This record is in no way a corpse, but a living, breathing, full-bodied being."

- Michael Toland (Pop Culture Press, Austin, TX)

exquisite, indeed.......2001-08-02

Those familiar with the dearly departed Miracle Legion (poster boys for the "Should Have Been A Household Name Foundation") and the under-rated Upstate New York Americana-rockers Subduing Mara will find this little release to be a pleasant surprise. Sparse, intimate and demo-ish (in the best of all possible ways), Mara frontman Peter Hutchison and the Legion's legendary Mr. Ray have combined efforts to create a casual and intimate folk-rock gem. Difficult to catagorize, this short-but-sweet offering is reminiscent of everything from David Gray to Supertramp to "Me & Mr. Ray" era Miracle Legion. Although the disc credits Hutchison with the songwriting, Mr. Ray's Legion-flavored 6-string sonic stamp is readily apparent throughout. Despite the fact that it's a far from perfect disc ("Promise" for instance, sounds like an exercise in "we better put a pop song somewhere on this thing"), "exquisite corpse" has a distinctly unique character, and is both beatific and quirky in turn. Unfortunately for Lucas Shine, this record defies being shoved into any convenient little boxes for the sake of marketing. Fortunately for the rest of us, however, there are people still out there making this kind of music... hopefully we'll hear more from these folks down the line.

Hi-Fi Therapy / 14 Exquisite Corpse , Robert Heynen , Psychick Warriors Ov Gaia side project , and Tim Freeman Manufacturer: kk records ProductGroup: Music Binding: Audio CD General | Dance & DJ | Styles | Music ASIN: B000MI7EPO

Product Description

2 tracks (12+ minutes in length:) 1. Hi-Fi Therapy 2. 14 ----------------------- Begun by Robert Heynen in 1993 as a side project from the ambience of Psychick Warriors Ov Gaia, Exquisite Corpse soon became his full-time occupation with the release of several EPs and the 1994 full-length Inner Light. The seeds of the group were sown in 1993 when Heynen and producer Tim Freeman came together on a Psychick Warriors remix project, for which they called themselves the Disciples Ov Gaia. Much more minimalistic and tribal than the Psychick Warriors material, the remix gave Heynen a taste of independence, and he left soon after to form Exquisite Corpse. After two EPs were released during 1993-1994, the act released a full-length, Inner Light, on Restless in 1994.

Meet the other Roger Miller.......2000-05-29

The music is very diverse on this recording. It ranges from the medieval/renaissance style of "Dance of the Poet's Eye"(modern musical reference:Dead Can Dance) to music influenced by cartoons"Looney Tunes". Listening to this recording is similiar to being in a funhouse. Each room(track) has something even more different and strange and unexpected than the previous one. Expect the unexpected from Roger Miller.
