So yes, I do have the mp3's from soulseek ripped at a nice 192kbps (thanks Duble0Syx) and I've been listening to this for the past 2 weeks a whole lot. I'm a big µ-ziq appreciator (though no more releases under this name :/ ) and one main reason I'm a fan is because his releases are so different from each other. Mike's style is always fresh and new while retaining that classic µ-ziq feel. This release is no different: 1 - Johnny Maastricht : Starts out the album with a nice little ambient intro a la "tango 'n vectif" only better. Funky beat kicks in while sampled voices play to subdued melodies with well placed noises poured over the track (some of which remind me of vsnares). It ends with a classic µ-ziq melody that totally changes the overall atmosphere. 2. - Meinheld : I believe it was Phobiazero who said that this track was " is sooooo µ-ziq : excellent! " Goddamn was he right. A nice dark little piece that is teeming with colorfull synths playing out some great melodies. Mad drill 'n bass reminisces of the Lunatic Harness era. 3 - Siege of Antioch - Nice noisy drum intro followed by... well... crazyness, followed by... um... ambient melodies... Lets just say that this track is one of my favorites. I've never heard anything like it. 04 - Octelcogopod : Definately a song that could have fit on Royal Astronomy if it wasn't for all the gritty high pitched sounds fluttering about. Lots of great atmosphere in this one, nice use of rythms from all the sounds; a little more laid back than the other tracks. 5 - On/Off - Leave it up to 'ol Dykehouse to supply Mike with such interesting voice samples. "Put them panties on, take them panties off." Why cant I ever hear songs like this on the radio? Just a great funky tune. 6 - Silk Ties : Another badass original drill'nbass track. Not my favorite, but I'd kill to hear this played live. 7 - Aec Merlin : Lots of melodies here, prolly to make up for the lack of them in Silk Ties. 8 - Grape Nut Beats (Pt.1) : Hardcore stuff. I'd r |

8 - Grape Nut Beats (Pt.1) : Hardcore stuff. I'd rather listen to Secret Stair pt 1. 9 - Grape Nut Beats (Pt.2) : Sliced up ragga stuff. Drags on for bit 10 - Mouse Bums : I'd mistake this for an Autechre track if it was called "N3.1armvx" Very atmospheric use of distored beats and such. 11 - Fall of Antioch : Just a beautiful reprise of Siege of Antioch. The most ambient track on the album. 12 - My Menegegus : First of all, what the hell is a Menegegus, and where can I buy one? I'm sure if I had one of those, I'd be pimpin all the ladies... anywho its a great track. -------- I guess you can see that my reviews are a bunch of suck, which is quite the opposite from this album :) 9/10 |

Just because you've got a Ren avatar I'm with you 100%! It's a good album though, even in this current state of IDM critique. |

It is definitely yummy music. Not sure if it's better than Tango N' Vectif or not. I'll just say they are both good. I may even buy it when it's released. Need to listen to it more though. Oh, and I finally got a copy of AB3 on vinyl (the original) and so there is now a good rip of it on soulseek, rather than the crappy sounding one thats everywhere. |
