I had forgotten

How much brilliant stuff mike has made. It has probably been 5 years since I last listened to him and I'm now re-discovering my love for his music. Gotta love the melodies.

Yes, Mike was a master of melodies in his days... Trike, Jackal, Hasty Boom Alert, Housewife, Swan Vesta, etc. The list goes on and on.

mu-ziq theme is a memory for me

aye, uplifting stuff

Trike and Jackal are two of my favorite tracks of ever, they remind me of that nice late 90's happy hour kind of vibe.

The first 14 seconds of that song is what got me into good electronic music. I didn't think anyone else had really payed attention to that track.

bilious paths is amazing

wergle the proud!

I love those harmonies in Brace Yourself Jason

i used to fucking bone the Lunatic Harness album. and Bilious Paths. that jungle-ish period of mu-ziq was awesome. actually the older shit was banging too. damn you mike, make more of this

this might just be my skewed perspective, but he seems so under-appreciated. i love almost everything. even Mr. Angry and Salsa with Mesquite.

and that frost jockey stuff....wow, that's some gnarly shit

Hasty Boom Alert is a "will be playing at my funeral" kinda song for me.

i guess i have yet to discover what makes mike p subforum-worthy... i never thought he belonged in the watmm 5... he does more than luke vibert though imo

He does more than Vibert and Cylob combined.

if i'm picking favourite subforum artists, i'd put Mike P in second, right behind AFX. then Luke!

Jesus H W Rastafari, forgot just how much i loved mu-ziq. i mean, i know i loved him but been listening to shit like The Raft EP and Bilious Paths and all the little secret B-side tracks. classic shit, that also takes me back years

still hate Duntisbourne Abbots though

never forget

His music is pretty different from aphex, some few tunes may be in similar style - but the typical µ-ziq sound is nothing like aphex.

iesope is just mesmerisingly beautiful (or is it phiesope?) ... the slow lush one from tango, i mean

also SBVL is one of the all time great electronic albums

I agree with this. although I enjoy bits of his career, I can never shake the feeling that he's just aping RDJ. if you look at the directions in careers they took they're both very similar with mike following just behind rich. tango n vectif remains an exception though, it's a brilliant album. also planet mu is a bitchin label (though I can imagine after this post my chances of ever being signed to it are slim to none).

This reminds me, I should buy Brace Yourself. I see it in the displaced used section at this music shop I go to all the time right next to Musipal. It has some killer stuff on it.

Ethereal Murmurings

Woohoo glad to see a thread like this, once I put Gob Bots and World of Leather at a party where nobody even knew about Rephlex or something (+- 20 y/o average), and it worked ! Everybody dancing to µ-Ziq, discovering without prejudices giving good feedbacks and all, that was epic.

Ive only ever heard Autumn Acid and other random tracks. Recommend me an album to get and I'll find my own way from there.
