After reading that Frog Pocket thread i started thinking... no one really talks about Mu anymore. Why is that? Do you like Mu? If not why? I want more BIT MEDDLER!!!!!! zomg |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it is because Mu is just peddeling breakcore these days, or so it seems. ok i don't know the label that well, but from recent releases i've heard and the stigma its getting it does seem to be that way. don't get me wrong, breakcore is break-tacular (sorry) but theres only so much you can take, right? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i have really lost interest in this label. everything is a bit too similar nowadays on this label. even mike p want in on the breakcore game, i reckon. hope jega's new album (when it comes out - if ever) isn't like this. |

planet mu never seemed to interest me i have 2 releases on the label, 000 upon cycles and The Gasman the electric palace of variety, both i'd rate C material |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Interesting point. Lack of varied material will generate a lack of interest. I can agree with your statement |
||||||||
|

I hate you all. |

nice quiff. |

Mu fan? Or are you an artist there? i think these are fair comments. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like a couple mu releases but i think of the label in general as a pile of shit a pile of shit that i have way too much of, buy some mu 7 inches anyone? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there are constantly interesting albums on mu... sorrounded by lots of blah releases... at least for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Like any other label, they put out good and bad stuff. The OOO album on there is brilliant. |

I am from WATMM and there Skam has more of a mystical aura, Mu don't seem to has one but I like their artists, their records, Mu is just also awesome but only, not as mysterious. Now if there'd be a label releasing records exclusively in the mould of Go Plastic then I would say, this is a good record label too. That is just why I'm a Squarepusher fan primarily. |
||||||||

|
|
When i step back from the scene i really do appreciate squarepusher. Then again i havent listened since the promo of UV. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
W'hoops I might have contraindicated myself as breakcore seems totally heavily influence by Go Plastic but I guess, oh ho hum man I guess I just wanted to talk about Squarepusher some more. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats ok. I think next to Bubble and Squeek.... Go plastic is the best release he has done. And that my friend, is a tough call. :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i like their website; not a fan of shitmat. |
||||||||
|

Just not enough Bit Meddler..... :'( |

here's something i don't like about planet mu: they have a watmm link but no xltronic!! what's the deal with that? :( |
||||||||
|
|

..Quintessential µ releases in my ears: ~ µ-ZIQ "Lunatic Harness" ~ LEXAUNCULPT "The Blurring of Trees" ~ JEGA "Spectrum" ~ TIM TETLOW "Beauty Walks a Razor's Edge" ~ KETTEL "Tadley / Management" ~ eDIT "Crying Over Pros For No Reason" P. |

|
|
do you have Kettel, and not want it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
a label people like holds label style over artists style. that gives the label personality. i think Planet Mu holds artist style over label style. i'm not saying either is better, that just seems to be the way it is |

Last I heard, bit meddler is in the process of working on more music, but he never gets around to finishing anything, so you could expect an album release anytime between a couple months from now to a year or never, but hes working on music now, which is a lot better than not working on music at all. If you want some of his stuff thats not quite IDM, here is the site to the design company that he owns. Be warned, its not what you think. There is a lot of metal in their commercials, but if you watch the video labeled delos, the music from a third of the way through to the end is all his. Also, the stuff in car wash is all his too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Actually, its not just his design company. Him and a friend own it together. |
||||||||

great label, great artists, offcourse i dont like um all..but i like most stuff thats released. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i used to get almost everything that was coming out on mu..now i don't even check out stuff they put out anymore..grow out of it or something.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Venetian Snares - Meathole, Rossz, and HCCBU Datrach'i - Mmale and Ffemale Edit - Crying Over Pros For No Reason Vex'd - Degenerate just some of the reasons I dig mu |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *celebrates* :D you are awesomeness |

I think they're pretty good. I've listened to random samples off their website and a lot of the stuff sounds pretty impressive. One label I've never been able to get into is Rephlex. I've got the Rephlex compilations and some other random CDs, and a load of MP3s, and none of it is particularly impressive bar Aphex Twin's stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
at least get those rephlex samplers..plenty of awesome song on those! |
||||||||

Mu are fucking great. They aren't an "IDM" label. They also aren't a breakcore label. You might not like the more urbanish style of many of their recent releases but there have been a lot of absolute stormers in there. The other good thing about Mu is that a lot of the artists grow up and mature with the label which is always enjoyable to hear. Music needs labels like Planet Mu, end of story. |
