OffOf Snowdonia

Fuck pitchfork media's review of this album. Of Snowdonia by Daedelus is like many releases by Alfred Darlington (born Alfred Weisberg-Roberts) are hard to rank. Each one is its own brand of wine or beer or whatever the hell you drink. I bow to his ear for sampling. It had a lot more breakbeat influences drums that I expected, which was a great pleasant surprise. He also sounds like he is a big fan of anything Scott Herren (Prefuse 73, Savath Y Savalas, etc.). Each song blooming with it's own ray and vastness of emotion. Each song is with the touch from a man who loves every piece of what he is doing.
If you like: Prefuse 73, Flying Lotus, Jaga Jazzist, The Long Lost, MF Doom, and anything Ninja Tune.
Recommended tracks: Taking Wing, Snowed In, and Scaling Down.
