Planet Mu

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.

biology : 1
Paradinas: 0
me: -1.25 hrs

Haft: -0.05 hours complaining to people who don't give a
flying fuck whether or not you like the Planet Mu catalog,
you asshole.

Fuck off.

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.

Old Mu-ziq is amazing.

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

planet mu needs to release a lounge album where squarepusher
plays keyboards and andrew wk plays bass guitar

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