I always thought he was a twink, and had him in the same category as Squarepusher as somebody technically on top of their game but simply and starkly lacking in the geniality they're praised for, until a few weeks back. I heard Lunatic Harness in full and it actually reached my emotions and brain, on a rewarding level. I've been listening to it on and off since, and there are some real moments on it that get me in the nads, while there are still plenty that are simply exercises in break chopping to my ears. What do y'all think of the album and μ-Ziq in general? |

. he's really good, and that set promises great stuff to come. |

Cheers, I'll check it out out. What do you think of Squarepusher? |

like i said in another thread, lunatic harness and royal astronomy are in my top ten of albums |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
top 100, i mean |

I'll give Royal Astronomy a proper shot. I feel compelled to say that Expert Knob Twiddlers probably has some of the most depressing sampling I've heard, which was why it took me a long time to even consider checking Paradinas' other shit. That album still gives me the willies |

Tango is the best. Followed by Bluff. I quite like his last one (D.A.S.D.T) pumped up it is a bit all the same levels wise. Lunatic & Bilious are solid pieces. IMO. |
||||||||
|

|||||||||

I never really thought his rep as 'top tier idm honcho' was justified. Sure, there are some releases, like Bilious Paths that have some good tracks on them. By and large, though, talking about him in the same breath as Aphex, BoC, Ae and [] |

i have to say its weird, hearing you talk like this about mike. back then he was in the same league with aphex and sort for me. one of the first tracks i downloaded from ss was uziq with hectors house... i bought lunatic harness and royal astronomy in a small record store in my village. and loved it so much. when i bought expert knob twiddlers afterwards, i thought: okay mike and rich were having a nice weekend with burps and shit. nothing more. and when i heard bilious paths i was quite dissapointed, because his old shit was so fucking great. but then, i mean he has his own label that is great! so mike... u rule. |

See any of the bits above still have that sound of somebody "banging out tunes" rather than writing music. That was always my problem with Paradinas. His stuff never has that musical quality to it that I hear in so much other work, it just sounds forced and contrived to me. To each his own I s'pose. Except for the stuff I don't like, obviously that's shite |

yo heads-up expert knob twiddlers is actually awesome |

I like a lot of Mike's older material (namely TnV re-release) and some of his other . I had Royal Astronomy playing in the car a few months back and the g/f liked quite a few of the tracks, so I would say that's his most accessible. Lastly, he had a couple of wicked House/Techno tracks under his Heterotic alias, which were up my alley. |

He's an mp3.com drop out peddling ham fisted cacophony. Every week his mom secretly pretends to be a new person and makes a pity purchase. |

hes ok but the stuff he made withi his wife lara rix paradinas as "hetorotic" is the best hes made since 20 years so that shows he lost alot of his skills and needs some1 to help him |

Hey the file is not up anymore, could you please put it back up? It's been a while since I didn't check what's mike's doing and this looks like a good set according to you... |

is currently one of my favorite tracks (from any artist). From Tn'V I also like the title track, XENITH FILIGREE ANUS, and whale soup. |

I adore both his older, mad smacking-the-headroom shit, and also his DnB-influenced middle-period stuff a la Lunatic Harness and Bilious Paths. Those two albums especially, actually. Great fun. What the fuck was Duntisbourne about? Was he planning to kill himself or something? So depressing |
||||||||

Didn't know about this Heterotic shit, will try it! |

Is that genuinely µ-Ziq's genuine Soundcloud? It all sounds so horrifically amateur, but I can't honestly tell if it's just a fake or the real dealio |

He posted the link on his facebook page. |
||||||||
|

It has to be a fake... but it still caught me for a minute. Kinda highlighted to me that my expectation of anything new he may release is that it will be stale and washed out |
||||||||
|

Posted that last reply before I saw yours j. I'm pretty appaled if that's what he's coming out with these days. Everybody writes shite music, but to be putting stuff of that calibre out online... the fuck is he thinking |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There's some good stuff in that new µ-Ziq link. Some of it is from his Heteortic alias, at least I thought. Anyway, the song that comes in around 16:50 is GREAT. Hopefully that makes the cut on his new release. Interesting to hear him finally utilize an 808 as well. |

Alright you guys gotta help me, this is wracking my brain. The song at 13:00 has a synth line pop in around 13:48 that sounds like it came from another song (sampled or otherwise). For the life of me I can't remember what the song is. |

Took some searching, but the track I was thinking of was Dykehouse - Last Song. |
