FUCK YEAH BREADFISH
Best album I’ve heard thus far in 2013.
ok never really dug any of his earlier stuff but this album is top shelf…
dunno if no data posted it but his latest ep “xtep” is dope too
This shit is str8 garbage.
Trolling my name ^^^^? mehh..
Oh, come on you two, this is getting childish!
The sense of melody and melodic invention is more pronounced than on the most recent µ-Ziq release, 2007’s harsh and oppressive Duntisbourne Abbots Soulmate Devastation Technique. A piece like Melting Bas almost sounds like the Cocteau Twins if their primary instrument was a synth wired to a sampler. The way the soft focus textures combine with a gently bubbling beat is quite sublime.
Six years on from his last, unsettling album, Duntisbourne Abbots Soulmate Devastation Technique, electronic pioneer Mike Paradinas returns with a radical change of pace. Two decades ago, µ-ziq conjoined Aphex Twin and Autechre in making rhythmically abstruse digital music. More recently, Paradinas’s own label has released compilations of Chicago footwork, a raw and minimal dance subgenre. Chewed Corners, though, finds Paradinas being neither abstruse, nor unsettling, nor minimal. Rather, it joins in the fashion for analogue retro-futurism (see Daft Punk, Boards of Canada). Lush synths play at near-human chorales. Twangle Melkas could double as a vintage horror film soundtrack, if not for the up-to-date percussive tickles. Happily, Paradinas is no mere bandwagon-jumper, contributing out-and-out euphorics such as Weakling Paradinas to the washed-out vogue.
