OK....I know nacmat can't get enough of Bluff Limbo, but does anyone else have an opinion on this album that I would have to pay thru the nose for online?
I'll listen to your rant nacmat - I like your taste in music.

Many artists in my arsenal of IDM have a "bridging" album, that kind of fills the gap between style changes (if they change styles).
Mikey P just when from techno riffs (Tango N'Vectif, Bluff Limbo, and In Pine Effect), and then suddenly switched over to drill n' bass style. Am I missing something?
I listened to a bit of In Pine Effect, and wasn't too impressed.

I am amazed! how do you know I love it????
anyway... I will make some argumentation:
for me the best uziq is the one from the first years... this is tango n vectif and bluff limbo... I also like lunatic harness and royal astronomy (more drill n bass with melodies) but this first releases, more old school, have an incredible quality. maybe bluff limbo is a bit darker than tango, kind of more quiet, more relaxed... but for me these two are totally genious. depending on my mood I prefer one or the other.
bluff limbo creates nice atmospheres, sometimes repetitive but in a good way, with a nice aproach to melodie as part of the music but never as the leader of a track.... very good release (double cd btw and I prefer the second one which is even the deeper)

Thanks nacmat, I've always agreed with your musical choices.
Canadian music stores have a terrible tendency of not carrying anything off the rephlex label. It looks like I'll be buying it online. Any suggestions?
mymusic.com seems to have pretty reasonable rates and shipping fees. What's your opinion?

I own most of all µ-ziqs releases. Bluff limbo is a nice one indeed. I cant tell you if you'll love it because I have no idea what you consider "good". Nacmats review is dead on. This is a must have if you are a µ-ziq fan.

Bluff Limbo is a pretty good cd in my estimation. I don't think it's his best release, but I do like it. Some of the tracks are CLASSIC, like Sick Porter Ethereal Murmerings, and Twangle Frent.
If you like Bluff Limbo, check out Spatula Freak by his alias Kid Spatula. It's similar, but more towards In Pine Effect from what I've heard about it (not owning In Pine Effect, one of the few Mike P. releases I don't have). You have to get Spatula Freak on ebay, as I just have, because it's oop. Worth the pickup though.

I have tango n'vectif, lunatic harness, and royal astronomy. I assume that bluff limbo is closest to tango n'vectif?

Yes, by far of what you have. It's the "next step" from Tango n Vectif. A very slight evolution. Longer and more epic songs. A little more thoughtful, I guess.

tango, bluff, in pine effect, and spatula freak are VERY similar.

I downloaded this sucker today (bringing the number of CD-R albums in my collection to 2) and I'm still trying to put my finger on it.
Bluff certainly has a "zannier" edge. It doesn't have that majestic beauty that tango n'vectif had, but it is still very interesting. Chalk full of loops and repetition - kind of exhausting at times.
I think I'll keep Bluff as CD-R and spend my money on bilious paths.

Just listen to Bluff some more and you'll realise it is a great, one of the best, mu-ziq albums.

After doing a search, I've discovered that only about 5 people recommend bluff limbo. Plenty about lunatic harness, tango n'vectif, and royal astronomy.
I get the impression that there is a bluff limbo cult who is just trying to add me to their little list.
If bluff was really that good, I would expect more than 3 people to come in here and post something decent about it.

See....now I'm just talking to myself. People see "bluff limbo good?" say "no" in their heads, and keep on scanning for a good topic.

Its a different direction for mike, which isn't a bad thing, just different. Disc 2 is more ambient than disc 1.
