2004, Plug Research
Daedelus, the electronic experimentalist and celebrated underground DJ, is back with his second full-length album for Plug Research, entitled Of Snowdonia. The follow-up to the critically acclaimed Invention, Of Snowdonia takes the introspective themes and subtle evocations of dramatic scenery from his Plug Research debut and expands the palate to include even more majestic melodies, musical song structures and fidgety, visceral rhythms that defines his unique compositions.
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. Snowdon, an actual mountain in Wales and the highest peak in the U.K., gradually builds to a shale-covered summit amidst the flat, graying landscape of the countryside. In this context the mountain becomes a reference point for the hopeless romantic, lovelorn and wandering amongst the melodies and blue structures that populate Of Snowdonia.
