Samples of Dunisbourne Abbots Soulmate Devastation Technique now available

this album is awesome.

The 1st track slays it.

bump

what do you guys think of this release over time?

has it aged well?

I still think it's boring as hell.

It doesn't even sound like µ-ziq.

01 - Strawberry Fields Hotel

02 - Duntisbourne Abbots

03 - Dexedrine Girl

04 - Eggshell

05 - Something Else

06 - 2CV

07 - Rise Of The Salmon

nice little mini-album there.

it's fantastic if I'm in the mood (depressed).

i don't get wtf is up with the album art. but the music, very colourful and worthwhile

I feel it's a pretty "meh" note for µ-Ziq to end his music making note on. While I don't think Bilious Paths as a whole has aged well, I still enjoy it much much more, especially its melodies (Meinheld <3).

i looooove bilious

I find this to be a deeper, sadder, subtler and more ageless release than anything else he has done. Sure, it isn't as fun as those other great releases, but to me it holds up better today - and it's beautifully cohesive. It has wonderfully eerie mood running through all its tracks, and I don't know anything that quite sounds like it.

That loud bit on Drum Light freaks me out every time.

brilliantly described. it's not as playful. but maybe the album with the most feeling? i can't say much about the sound of an album aging (i got into music in 2006 ffs), but i think it could stand the test of time. i think he needs one more album before he ends his career. this could be a great ending, but i think it could be stronger. he's due, not that i EXPECT something from him.

i see the order of his albums like this (not including other aliases):

Tango - heavily melodic, sublime

Bluff Limbo - dark, ominous, and moody

Pine Effect - harder hitting percussion (and maybe the origin of his signature "silliness")

Lunatic Harness - more intricate construction (to me it seems like an 'intelligent' rebirth of Pine Effect)

Royal Astronomy - a blend of all previous traits. Speed/subtlety, creepy/lighthearted, sophisticated/childish. unusually controversial album for a lot of watmmers

Bilious - abrasive, tightly wound, prickly, complete overhaul compared to previous attempts.

DASDT - more settled down. simmering uneasiness, with occasional moments of erupting spatters of sound.

i can't say he's followed much of a pattern (other than having more advanced technology with each passing release). so it would be interesting to see where this could go

haha yeah.

out of all the "wattm featured artists" mikey p has really been the only one to have exposed a flaw, a weakness a failure……. publicly

props for having some sac and moxy bro

the cover is so extreme and horrendous that it's "funny" in a very macabre way

as if to say he knew he was over doing it ,including the title

is this british humor ?

i reckon not

its a universal cry of pain related to loss and mis trust

To continue on with what Yikes is saying:

Considering the period in his life that he wrote this, is it any wonder it sounds the way it does, and has the album cover and title?

What needs to happen now is a µ-Ziq 'rebirth' album, and deliver the trademark melodies and crunchy beats we all know Mike is more than capable of making.

+1,000,000

lol at artists going back and doing their trademark style

I still think you'd have to be dead from the neck up if you're not moved by at least some parts of this album.

yea i just now went back and started listening to this album. 6 seconds into it, and already i paused it and thought, "people have a problem with this album??"

Listening now (2nd consecutive listen) for the first time in quite a while.

It remains a great record with plenty of moments of real beauty.

One of Mike's finest releases i reckon.

np: 2CV - killer tune

I visited Duntisbourne Abbots today (village in Gloucestershire). If I hadn't been with my work colleagues I would have stopped the car and took a photo of the village sign.

Trufax.

Gonna give this one a listen today.
