Distant Drummer is a studio album by American hip hop producer Omid. It was released by Beneath the Surface on February 19, 2002.[1] It draws inspiration from the music of Sun Ra, as well as a science fiction book Hyperion.[2] The tracks from the album appeared on Logic 12, a Logic Skateboard Media video, in 2002.[3]
Critical reception
Writing for XLR8R, DJ Anna said: "While the songs don't always achieve the depth or scope of, dare I say, a DJ Shadow piece, they do exist as lovely and moving soundscapes, and Omid proves himself to be a technically awesome electronic composer."
The album reached number 3 on CMJ's "Hip-Hop" chart,[4] as well as number 21 on KUCI's "Top 30" chart.[5] Fritz the Cat of Vice included it on the "Top Nine" list in December 2003.[6]
