Mu-ziqs latest album

I think its really great too. For all those people complaining about its overall sameness Mike told me it was a self imposed decision to use only 3 ES-1's and a drum machine for the whole album and no fancy pants gimmicks.

I got this today. The first track is good. Thats all I have to say.

compared to all his other stuff, all i can say was that this was shite.

I'm far from knowledgeable about µ-Ziq stuff, but I like this album. Very sad though; when it's finished I just feel like telling Mike that everything'll be alright, and not to worry (whilst thinking at the back of my mind that actually, life isn't worth living anymore).

i bought a copy of Bilious Paths for two quid from a random shop, and the disc said on it something like "this is a promo only, like you care, if i see this on sale anywhere or find it on p2p before the release date, there will be no more mu-ziq albums"

so obviously he didnt find that one

so i was slightly suprised when i heard he was actually releasing another album

he peaked at tango n vectif imho.

ekt is superb as well, but only really because it manages to be deliciously silly, and totally innovative for the time.

I thought it was good, really good on the first listen. Really mellow and clean with some great synths to boot. But after I heard it once, I have never really listened to it again. I've turned it on and then just turned it off after like 3 songs. The melodies seemed more emotional at first, but now it's just blah.

LUNATIC HARNESS FOREVER!!!

it's just a brilliant album

np: rise of the salmon

whats the background to it? most of the tracks, and the art, is pretty depressing. i heard he split up with his missus before he wrote this

this is the worst fucking collection of songs i've ever had to suffer through on a compact disc.

oh, yeah, well the jerk store called, and they're runnin' outta YOU!

i take back what i said, this album is not bad

ZANY vocal samples

 

woah!

Actually, it does seem like every track on Billious Paths contains strange and also quite annoying vocal samples...

Fred - you had it right the first time. It is bloody awful.

At best, there are moments that don't 100% invoke projectile vomiting, but never is it 'good'.

I'd rather not go into detail about the nauseating horrors of its 'at worst' moments (ie- most of the album). The only people who actually like this record are his most devoted, 40-year-old virgin, fanboys.

This whole album is fucking lush. Some of his most organic and life-filled tracks.

Seriously, people, just sit down and listen to the album. I don't mean flick through the mp3s. I mean listen to it.

I don't really get the hate. A lot of this album is beautiful.
