The two greatest electronic artists ever to not be Richard D. James. In my opinion. Who do you like better? You can discuss the merits of each artist in respect with the other one. Right now its virtually impossible to say. Mike's melodies are amazing, and Tom has never really been able to produce anything as beautiful as some of the tracks especially off albums like Lunatic Harness. On the other hand, squarepusher's drum and snare rush's make Mike's look like they could have been made with fruityloops. Currently, I've been listening to Squarepusher more, Big Loada is too good. We have to see what Paradinas comes out with next. Please don't comment if you aren't really familiar with both artists (sorry). |

Squarepusher |

I prefer squrepusher more than u-ziq. However, somedays I just prefer u-ziq. I love squarepushers jazzy bass and drum playing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Squarepusher. U-ziq is really fucking good as well, though. I don't know they're both great. Can't really compare the two, I suppose. They come at music from different directions. What is it with everyone on this board wanting to compare artists?? It's ALL good!!!! :D |
||||||||

men can't help comparing... :D |

mine is bigger and my dad could beat up your dad : ) |

I didn't say which is better, I asked who do you like better. Isn't having preferences and discussing the quality of artists' music a lot of what this message board and all online electronic music discussion about? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Personally, squarepusher easily. Even if it was afx vs squarepusher i would still say squarepusher. Hes amazing, the snare rushes, the inane basslines, he really does it for me. Rant over. |
||||||||

the only thing i've really heard by µ-ziq is royal astronomy, so i don't really have enough evidence to back my judgement. well, even if i was more exposed to µ-ziq, i still don't understand the need for competition. |
||||||||

sigh, replace the word 'vs.' with 'or' if it makes you feel better |

I'm just saying read the post I'm following up to, I just wanted to have a discussion. |

Think desert island disks. You can only bring either mu-ziq or squarepusher. Which one? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
µ-ziq is my kind of music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd bring my re-issued double album of Tango n' Vectif to that deserted island of yours. I prefer µ-ziq for sure, though squarepusher is obviously amazing too. I think µ-ziq is the "nicer", more enjoyable of the two, whereas Squarepusher has a few amazing "adrenalin rushes" Mike P. wouldn't be capable of creating. well whatever. both are great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If it were bare fist fighting I think that Uziq would win |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I prefer U-ziq, he just makes the perfects mixtures of melodies and beats, but I havn't been into Squarepusher as long, so once I hear more you never know. But right now Im more into Mikey P. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I am with U ziq now... i mean i just got to know him and i am enjoying so much...but still dont have the total perspective... they are both great in any case |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
given my choice of name i think its obvious who i prefer..... _ _ _ _ _ n vectiv its all good tho! tom j has huuge fuckin talent too! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i didn't like royal astronomy... maybe a track or two. but squarepusher.. i like almost all his work... (xcept go platic.. that sucked) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like the sound of µ-ziq. Mike did also very well as Jake Slazenger... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
as much as i like µ-ziq , squarepusher is more my style |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Tom would probably beat him chess.... Ill go with Tom...He's nuts =) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mikey-mike !!! ... i prefer µ-zik over squarepusher, regarding all he has done since his debut on rephlex, []< is more recent so he must have so me more time |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
np::: On(d-scape mix) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it happens the same to me but the other way...I love Squarepusher...but as much as I like him ... Uziq is more of my style |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
squarepusher makes so much crap, atleast I think so, BUT he has done a few really brilliant pieces. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Suprising responses. I don't thin Mu-ziq is any where near the territory that Squarepusher is in. I think Squarepusher's sounds make Mu-ziq seem like one of those "IDM" site ring at home fruityloops artists. For me AFX and Squarepusher are in a different space and Mu-ziq is kind of trailing along trying to figure it out. |
||||||||

Tom Jenkinson has more raw talent than both mike p and even RDJ IMO. Go plastic is almost like going into his head and seeing what the hell is in there. Which i like. A lot. |
||||||||
|

|
|
Darth and I are bros on this one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Squarepusher is pioneering a new form of jazz. I think some other artists are going to catch on soon. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Totally, erm.... man, squarepusher seems on a totally different level to the rest. Now he can do anything he wants technically, i'd love to hear some of his newest stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
np: BoC -> Julie And Candy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
squarepusher is way better than u "nerd" ziq |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'll go with Squarepusher at this stage, but I haven't heard as much u-ziq yet and plan to get a couple of his albums. And Go Plastic does not suck! It rocks! :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no need to insult u ziq if you dont like him is fine but we like showing respect to everybody in this board |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
As a follow up about two months later I would just like to declare that Squarepusher is the victor. He is just too fucking crazy, Big Loada makes me melt, Go Plastic makes my head explode. He is a fucking genius. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
µ-Ziq, in fact not even RDJ can do some of the things Squarepusher can do with drums, Squarepusher does with drums the equivalent of what BoC does with their melodies...perfection. µ-ziq's drill is somewhat mediocre after listening to Squarepusher |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
squarepusher. u-ziq has some really nice stuff (lunatic harness), but tom IS fucking mad, and i thikn his melodies (esp. on big loada) are wicked, as is the spastic bass playing. and as for go plastic - it's just fucking mental. i thikn tom beats afx too. and in a fist fight i think tom would easily beat the shit out of mike p. again, just my opinion tho. |
||||||||

"Mike's melodies are amazing, and Tom has never really been able to produce anything as beautiful as some of the tracks especially off albums like Lunatic Harness." I love Mike's work but how can you say this? have you not heard tracks like 'massif', 'iambic' or 'theme from ernest borgnine'? Paradina's himself said he was majorly influenced by toms work....but hasty boom alert is a classic |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
although i love µ-ziq...ill have to say squarepusher...µ-ziq's melodies are really lush...and his beats can be pretty cool at times...but his stuff doesnt quite have the emotional depth that squarepusher's does for me mikeP's best stuff is like a really spectacular view of mountains or whatever...where youre struck at how gorgeous everything is...but in the end its just really pretty.. where sp's is more introspective..the beautiful bits are more personal...i dunno...maybe i just relate better to the moods in sp's stuff..it just sticks with me more having said that...approaching menace is still one of the best drill tracks ever made ...and hasty boom alert is one of the most beautiful "views" ive ever heard |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
squarepusher comes way before u-ziq in my book, though i do appreciate mike p. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ronald farber says his is eleven inches long. good grief. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Squarepusher for me but only by a margin...Mike's a brilliant but Tom surpassess..just a niggle...and I disagree about Tom;s meledoies Xanatos..Hard Normal Daddy is full of stunning melodies of incredible beauty...maybe time for a revisit you might be pleasantly surprised:) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yawn |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If I had to choose...well, it'd have to be µ-ziq. As it stands now, I even like Mike better than Rich. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol, I can't believe people are bashing Mike. Tch, the more I listen to his albums, the better he is. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i was introduced to µ-ziq´s work last month. i must admit, i can´t stop listening to Lunatic Harness and Royal Astronomy, and though his drilling is a bit basic, combined with his melodies just does it for me. i only wished that there were more melodies (even in the background) in a great album such as Go Plastic. Tom is king in drilling, no doubt about it, but........i´ll go with Paradinas on this one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Get Tango N' Vectif by µ-ziq. Lunatic Harness is a darn good album. Royal Astronomy is very good too, the song goodbye, goodbye is outstanding. And if you have access to a file Sharing program get µ-ziq-Whale Soup. |
