Love to Make Music To is a studio album by American electronic music producer Daedelus. It was released on Ninja Tune in 2008.

Critical reception[]

Michael Slevin of The Skinny gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying: "The songs on this album are eclectic yet symbiotic, with breakbeat convoluting with jaunty showtunes in one corner, and low key electro-tinged hip-hop flirting with dancey pseudo-jazz numbers in the other."[8] Tim Sendra of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying, "Love to Make Music To may not be the best Daedelus album, but it's not far from it -- and that makes it just about the best electronic pop you are likely to hear in 2008."[1] Colin Buttimer of BBC called it "an enjoyably varied album, full of texture, emotion and playful ideas."[2]
