Give me 5 good reasons to pay even a single minute's worth of my attention to µ-ziq.
After a few listens to randomly chosen tracks from various albums, I decided his music is inferior, in many respects, to that of aphex twin, autechre and squarepusher - who I really don't even like that much.
5 reasons. (best tracks, albums, comparable to the work of afx or ae)
GO!

no, i think thats not really too possibly, maybe, but highly doubtly. beacuse you said you dont really like those other guys (and id say dont compare because they are a bit different, but very very generally the same style, kinda..) but, you did say that so its probably because you dont really like some of that or lots of that style. so generally speaking you might not "get into" this sort of music as easy as people who enjoy generally more stuff than you.
so you may not really get into it, i wouldnt really force it. fav track is motorcycle track and autumn acid

Bluff limbo and tango 'n vectif are really good experimental albums. Particular tracks don't really spring to mind as i don't read cd sleeves for electronic artists. The song titles are by and large meaningless. But "roy castle" springs to mind for some reason.
medication, medication, medication is what you need.

nononon.. I was saying I really don't like much of squarepusher.. I really love aphex twin and I find ae's music.. or whatever u choose to call it to be very interesting.
I've heard/read bad things about 'royal astronomy' and I deleted 'motorbike' a quarter of the way thru it's download.

It does sound somewhat dated compared to both's more recent work but it's worth investing in just for the cd cover alone.

Wow theo, you come out and say that Mike's music is "his music is inferior"
and then you want to ask him what he thinks about you thinking his tracks are inferior?
WTF? How rude is that
Sometimes people just dont like certain things, its called: personal preference/taste. Just because you dont like something that a great many people do like does not make you, dare I say.... inferior. It just shows that people are different and not cloned robots walking the earth
But downloading three or four songs listening to them once, then comming to the conclusion that you dont like a musician, basing your opinion on those tracks... IMO at least, is very closeminded and silly. Give it a chance, listen to a full album
I really like Lunatic Harness
And I see (especially on this message board) people compairing aphex twin, squarepusher, boc, µ-zig.... on a popularity level.. like its a fucking race or something... I dont know, its hard to explain. If the music sounds good and you enjoy it, thats what music is all about
I guess what I am trying to say is, you should'nt have to be forced to like something, that you don't like. But then to come out and say someones music is inferior, and then want the musician to comment on it, is rather wank
But I am sure they deal with people like that all the time, so whatever I guess...

dude,, slow down. that was a joke. I didnt even know slodge hops was actually the guy behind the music which "IMOOO" is inferior - based on personal preference (and obvious lack of innovation in contrast) - to that of aphex twin.
I also used these terms to get people to respond with tracks/albums that would sway my opinion in the opposite direction. slow down. mr u-ziq isn't gonna give you any brownie points for sticking up for him by the way.. so calm down

Got Lunatic Harness. Got bored after first song but listened to rest. Got rid of it. I hear what you mean about inferior, the melodies don't cut it, and the drums are completely all over the place in the completely wrong way.
