Just came back from the cd store with U-Ziq's Lunatic Harness. I'm really pleased I got it cause it's s'posed to be an import here. So, what do you guys think of him? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Some stuff is very good, some is very bad. Royal Astronomy? What a piece of garbage (imo). But Lunatic Harness and Tango bla blah ( cant remember the name) are both really good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Lunatic Harness was the only one they had so (luckily) that was the album I bought. Glad it's supposed to be good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hey dont be dissin on Lunatic Harness. That album is really original an poppin fresh! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Royal Astronomy is pretty cool by me.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm not dissing it! I'm saying I'm glad it's supposed to be really good, cause that was the only one the store had! Bah. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha, i immediatley thought of the time some one asked if gary moscheles (one of mike p.'s aliases) is any good, and then mike p. posted on the board and said no and i was the only one who thought it was hilarious |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
salsa with mesquite is the only thing i own by him, but it's pretty rank. i know his other stuff should be waaay better. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
all uziq ive ever heard has been great, he has a really neat melody style, sort of has little unexpected blibs here and there |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
only problem is that sometimes he has crap level control (ie certain sounds are waaay too loud or quiet...like in the beatboxing track on lunatic harness...the beatboxing is WAAAAY too loud and the 808 is too quiet) and sometimes is sounds kind fo unclean but yeah it's totally dope still |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
woah someone else from perth! i picked up said album at dadas for $20 i was amazed to find it so fucking cheap it's not his best, but i like it still. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Tango n' Vectif : Ground breaking stuff Bluff Limbo: Tango N' Vectif with added kick Lunatic Harness : Dont know havent heard it Royal Astronomy: One of my fav albums |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this place is crawling with Perthians. more to the point.. u-ziq's sound is something that has really started to grow on me recently! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i really cant see why people make difference between lunatic harness and royal astronomy-these two are very alike, both very cool and so is tango n vectif |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
tango 'n vectif 2001 reissue is really a must,i also have bluff limbo which is very good as well but not as original as tango,they share lots of aspects,bluff seems to have a darker mood anyway.i have only these two,but if the rest of his discography is like this,mike p is really great |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I almost bought Lunatic Harness the other day, what genre is it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have Tango and Vectif from its original release, and I still love it. Never got around to listening to any of his other stuff though, maybe I should... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I'm going to... And alky: I'm from Perth and I bought it from the same store @ the same price. =D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ahaha crazy ;D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in a word 'YES'. I too have the original tango n vectif and love that, but dont have many other songs of his, but yeah its good stuff. hes done some wicked remixes too:) some of the production could be a little better tho, but upon reading the back of tango n vectif it says he used a betamax video to record sounds, so not cd quality sampling, but not exactly lofi either, kinda mid-fi???? i dunno!(sounds like a good use for old betamaxs tho) |
||||||||

The way I see it, the ''big four'' are Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, BOC, and Autechre... WATMM agrees... with Mike P. being very, very good but not in that really elite group. He's better than pretty much anyone else, though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No way Ophecks. Mike P is in the big group definitely. I'd rate him above BOC and Autechre but only just. Mike P rules forever. Awesome massive sounds that guy knows how to make a tune period. Kid Spatula, Jake Slazenger, Mu-Zig take your pick. Mike P is the man. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
µ-ziq is teh awesome. I like Lunatic Harness, Braceyourself ep, Royal Astronomy, Kid Spatula - Full Sunken Breaks, Tango n Vectif and his Rude ass tinker track are all really great. I think all his releases are great, except for the Urmur Bile Trax, Vols. 1 & 2. I dont like that much. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Eh, I can't really argue with that, he's pretty awesome. I just don't think he stands out as much as the other four. They're MY big four, anyway. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't agree either i would put plaid instead of boc and mike p hardly fighting(and probably winning) with squarepusher. i don't question afx and ae |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
blah blah blah blah.... their all good and talented in their own right, when you try and compare artists it just ends in a giant pissing match, they are all different and have their own style going... HEY LOOK AT THIS GUYS! I CAN PEE THE LONGEST AND the LONGEST! YES! That Mc Hammer dsp mash up he did was great, and funny to boot! haha |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahaha, longest and the longs haha, should be fastest and longest.... oh dear me. wu tang |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have eleven of their releases, and Lunatic Harness is a nice record. Especially the three first songs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
eleven releases? by whom? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
magiker, Even though you said it by accident do you realise that originally Mu-Zig was a they. But the other guy went off to do his own thing. How interesting is that eh. Really exciting news I bet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Mickey Mouse, You are right though it is a question of blah blah blah, all the top artists are as you've said just as good as each other. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My God yes. listen to "Hasty Boom Alert" or "Swan Vesta" for evidence of this. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mu-ziq has many masterpieces. lunatic harness is wonderful. but i have to agree, that sometimes he gets very crappy... and i can't say this about rdj... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can't think of any crap tracks by any of the legends. I can only think of tracks which are maybe a bit less interesting than others. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
promo, isn't it right of me to use "their" then? Since it hasn't been one person all the time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

Mike P is nowhere near being an important electronic artist. He's done one strong album (Tango N'Vectif) He releases every single track he writes. He has no quality control, and thus his albums are full of bad jokes and silliness. He's a nerd and he spends most of his time on these chatrooms instead of being an artist. And he's never played live (he plays cassette tapes and mimes on stage). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Lunatic Harness is one of the greatest 'idm' albums of all time and everyone who considers themselves a fan of the 'genre' owe it to themselves to get it |
||||||||

Bill Burroughs, You sound like a newbie to me. People who don't get like all the Rephlex artists and all the cool artists like Wagon Christ and all the older stuff are just newbies to me. Defend yourself Batman. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What b/s, a rather impartial are we? I assume that you have access to Mike's entire collection of music that he has ever produced, and have been to all his live shows? Because that's odd, when he opened for BJORK in Chicago as a matter of fact he was playing live and then started dancing after he finished mixing what he needed to. |

"Bill Burroughs, You sound like a newbie to me. People who don't get like all the Rephlex artists and all the cool artists like Wagon Christ and all the older stuff are just newbies to me. Defend yourself Batman." as a personal friend of Mr Vibert, and at the grand old age of 34, i think i'm in a position to say what i please. "What b/s, a rather impartial are we? I assume that you have access to Mike's entire collection of music that he has ever produced, and have been to all his live shows? Because that's odd, when he opened for BJORK in Chicago as a matter of fact he was playing live and then started dancing after he finished mixing what he needed to. " as a matter of fact, when mike p dj's, he plays records. but when he plays 'live', he runs a cassette deck and mimes. sorry to disappoint you. |

Ok |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Right. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
magiker, No it has been one person all the time. But very very earlier on like right at the inception there were 2 of them, literally the blink of an eye one could say. |

I dont think plaid or u-ziq should be in the big 4 but i dont think boc or squarepusher should be either. I mean i like boc a whole lot but it doesnt seem like theyve released enough material to probe to be on the top. (it should be aphex and autechre as top two only. and i dont like plaid or uziq at all so to answer the original question "uziq any good" not too good but thats my opinion, better than plaid if that means anything. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Don't like Plaid or mu-ziq!!!!! Moderators make use of that new ban feature now will ya. :] |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sorry, but his recent stuff just sounds like silly demos to me. |
