I just checked out a song or two by ≈70% of the artists on Planet Mu. I found one that was good. It's nothing amazing, but interesting enough to merit a few listens so far. The rest were utter shite, or rather, painful in their mediocrity. I didn't want to cast off a potential avenue for talent and work off the assumption that Paradinas has no taste, but it turns out gut instincts were right.

More thoughts: •Ital Tek has the most staggeringly imbalanced (popularity):(production ability) ratio for an electronic artist I've seen for some time
•'Producer Fiends' off Joss Weightman's 'Wavelengths, Blurry Lines and Architects' EP on EpicMegahack'ses label is a decent track. Heavily reminiscent of a few Prodigy tracks off 'Experience'
•The "warmth" or "quality" factor of analog synth equipment is one of the best Zeitgeisty gifts we have
•It was probably better in many ways that James Stinson died young
•Cinnamon is on the top 3 Best Flavours for Humans list along with Clean Pussy and Envelope Gum
•Boards of Canada are finished unless either member's judgement becomes impaired due to life's stresses
•Dichotomy fundamentally presents itself in the analysis of everything
I wish you all true happiness

Planet mu is pretty much the only label I've been sending to for the past many years, because the early releases were quite good. Some good later releases. Plus, Mike P wrote Hasty Boom Alert, and if my album is gonna sell 7 billion copies on some label, I'd prefer to give back to the man who wrote the track that inspired my musical life in high school.

In recordings and .rns files that I'm not going to send to Mu because they don't deserve them. Most of them are extended soundbytes of me pissing through a diffraction grating onto burning tape cassettes with added delay.
And sato, I do think Lunatic Harness is a beautiful album in parts. As for the rest of Paradinas' stuff, it sucks. Also Jega has some fucking brilliant tracks, I forgot about him amidst the sea of turds.

a while ago it dawned on me that i'm actually pretty content with my life. i keep coming back here because monoid's posts keep that fresh in my mind. mike p told me my music was "last century music" so i don't send it to him any more. when it comes to mu releases, i buy the good stuff and complain about the crap on the internet.

I agree about Ital Tek. Hi-tech beats n' shit, but fuck all imagination. Apart from that though, I've not heard much Planet Mu stuff since the good ol' mu-ziq days.

planet mu released some great albums, amongst some other not very interesting to me... in a positive turn of the thread, i think itd be nice to make a list of those that you consider good albums. i will start:
-swarm&dither by hrvatski -geometry by jega -bilious paths by u-ziq -Rossz Csillag Alatt Született by venetian snares

Also, when you have them ship stuff to you, they use spiffy tape with planet mu logos!
Anyway, there really isn't much music being in the style we are apparently here to discuss.. therefore i cherish it all. and planet mu has some really great artists and releases. Mike P has my permanent respect for putting out some really beautiful tunes (yeah, lunatic harness is nice, but my favorite tracks are on tango'n'vectif............ )

I suspect Planet Mu's artist roster is also its primary customer base.

the fact is about planet mu there transparently a label that looks for some scene thats building underground then takes some1 from that scene and hopes to make them big so they can say there on the GROUND FLOOR and make the big bucks. footworks the big 1 in the past few years + recently they took some artists from the 100% silk stuff.
if ur a mike p lover u maybe say there just trying 2 get the music they like 2 a bigger audience but wait how come there putting on loads of footwork records since it blew up (+ dubstep + breakcore in the past) but when there plan back fires and something DOESNT catch on theres only like 1 album of that (4 example eero johannes of skweee and anti-g of bubbling). and when ur scene stops being cool theyll dump u in the DUMP
im not saying they dont put out alot of cool music cuz i like alot of of it but the fact is there not about music so much more about music BUSINESS and makin money and its just a tiny step away from being a venture capital scum bag
in conclusion screw u mike p for not replaying 2 my email

I'm so hip, i hate IDM but hang around forums to tell people how shit it is.
I expect better, create better, but don't sell out as I am THAT IDM.
If I was anymore underground i'd be Australian.

It's cool of you that you're not complaining about somebody complaining, cos that would make you look a right fool.
Anyways, I was utterly wrong in musing in a place like this about an electronic music label. I get ahead of myself sometimes.
Did you sell out and try to/successfully get on to Planet Mu?

It was nice to see footwork in Tower Records in Tokyo. And there was a "classic hits" wall, with like RDJ Album, Chris Clark shiz, etc. It was nice. Japanese care about electronic music even CD shit, which is why every album for Japan has Japan only bonus tracks. Getting signed or whatever is not selling out, but changing one's sound to try to bandwagon action is ghey and retarded.
I'm now recording a whole album with a voice recorder, so hopefully Mike P releases it and I make five billion dalla and write film soundtracks and get nine jillion dalla, so I can buy lazer.

Sorry, Haft, I made that reply look like I care more than I really do.
I don't really like Mu that much either, I just wanted to take the piss.
As you were...

There's no such thing as selling out, but it is a good target point for the therapeutic abuse one throws at an artist when they fall short of one's standards. If Squarepusher did an hourlong album of Christmas carols I'm sure there are people who would see it as him having a bit of fun and it not reflecting his "real" musical innards. Whereas I'd still just hate him for being a talentless cunt in the first place. It's all relative

While Mike's taste in music has been long suspect, epicmegatrax really DOES produce creepy, unlistenable garbage.
