||||||||

Autumn Acid is my fav track on that. and yeah I like him. sometimes I feel as though hes reading this board. man would that be cool. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
he comes one day to do a dj session to barcelonamycity, and since then i hate him... |
||||||||

Royal Astronomy is a good album, he produced it after touring with Bjork, so it should have a similar feel as some of her stuff. I think he has a personal style, and honestly I enjoy his music more than RDJ. As for my favorite album, it'd have to be the 2cd release of Tango 'N Vectif. |

funny you should mention him. i was just listening to Houzz 8. anyway. i've been a fan of his music for quite a while. i just like the way he "plays" with music...simple and melodious. my fav. album has to be Tango'n'Vectif; the first µ-ziq album i bought. Old skool braindance at its best. fav. song is a bit hard to choose. "London" is probably amongst them; dark, eerie symphonic IDM. |

I cant appreciate Tango'n Vectif yet. im willing to give it another try in a few years. Right now Lunatic Harness is my favorite. Does anyone know Mike's involvement in Expert Knob Twiddlers? |
||||||||
|

Lunatic Harness: Rockin Mushroom Compost is my favorite ziq track. Mike actually came on here and explained the collaboration for EKT. Apparently they just sat around and drank and made some beats, then Mike passed out and Rich finished up the tracks. |

Lunatic Harness and the Brace Yourself e.p. are his best works, I'm not caring for anything else he's done. and he pushes the wrong music on his label. Instead of pushing Snares and Doormouse he should be pushing Nautilis and Tim Tetlow. Easier on the ears and soul. A t o p |

well anyway, i have a strange feeling that Im going to like Tango'n Vectif in the future |
||||||||
|

|
|
I think you will too. There's just way too many awesome tracks on that album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Royal Astronomy is his most accesible album, it has a pop flavor but still classic µ-Ziq elements. My favorites of that album are The Hwcci song, Carpet Muncher and World of leather. Mentim has an early µ-Ziq vibe, obscure and cold. Oh yes, also I consider Lunatic Harness as his best work, one of my favorite records of all time. |

|
most of you name lunatic harness as one of best idm albums... how does it sound? is it dnbish? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it cannot be genred really, pure mentalist tracks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have Lunatic Harness. Don't like it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thats because youre a DJ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's what I want you to think...*slinks back into the shadows and vanishes* Neh, I guess it wasn't what I expected. Which was good. Early days yet...but no real signs that I can be arsed to get into it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats exactley the same reason why I got into it. yarr... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I dont know, I dont like any of his music.....I dont like any of the artists on planet mu..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahaha ;-) Melack, for me Lunatic Harness is the perfect example of "drill n' bass", it contains excellent snare drum programming and memorable lovely melodies. Oh, and I haven't read it before anywhere, but also I like a lot the cover of that album, it's so simple that you couldn't imagine the great charge of emotion inside the record, well I see it that way imho. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you put it so, so fucking well. *tear* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, thats excatly what we need....more Drill N Bass with sappy melodies..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that, and more gayfunk. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Right on |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
µ-ziq definately has his own original style. Always fresh with every release. Royal Astronomy is VERY good and the sounds are very colorful. Scaling is perfect and Hwicci Song is just badass. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lunatic harness is his best work hasty boom alert is his best track, although swan vesta is close |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dont like any of his stuff but I do like some stuff on planet mu. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
u-ziq has great music and really bad music... I still love ya either way Mikey! side note: Lunatic Harness=Greatness... this album is really something special |
||||||||
|
|

What about Roy Castle, peops? This particular track is on the Trance Europe Express Vol. ? It really blew me away, when I first listened to it, and hence got me into U-ziq...A LOT!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love the way Mike P makes bizzare references to parts of British culture like Burst Your Arm (a quote from the first series of Alan Partridge) Swan Vesta (a match) Roy Castle (a kids TV presenter from the 70s) World Of Leather (a shop) ahh I cant think of any more. |
||||||||

I'm not too sure about µ-ziq yet, I haven't heard anything that great. In fact one song, 'The Motorbike Track' .. or something like that, is fucking terrible.. I have yet to hear one good thing about Royal Astronomy or the EP that served as its prelude. apparently his newer stuff is nothing like Brace Yourself or Tango n' whatever .. true? |
