Pedro has a new mini album out of remixes on Mush including mixes by Prefuse 73, Danger Mouse, Four Tet, Cherrystones, Home Skillet and the Pedro man himself. This is worth it alone for the Prefuse 73 mix which is simply outstanding. Though if big massive jazz sax Sun Ra style workouts are your bag then you'll be wanting to listen to the 21 minute long Four Tet mix which is nigh on unlistenable. The man can make astoundingly good music and then he does things like this. The key word here is indulgence..... or perhaps more accurate would be over indulgence. Still it's a top album if you turn it off before the last track.Originally released in Europe on Manchester's Melodic Records, Pedro's self-titled full-length debut has garnered universal critical praise, including nods from a number of his production peers. The album is the sound of an artist finding his voice through the distillation of disparate musical forms. Textures of jazz, folk, and rock sit upon a bed of hip-hop infused beats supplemented with samples chopped and layered as musical instruments. The compositions range from simple piano embellished with rhythm generating effects to complex collages filled with live synths swirling over layers of heavy drum programming. The CD version of the album contains the EP, Fear & Resilience (which features remixes by Danger Mouse, Four Tet, Prefuse 73, and others) as a bonus CD.
