Astralwerks has pushed back the Muziq 'In Pine Effect' release for a week or two. I bought the import Saturday and love it. I have to recuse myself from reviewing MP's stuff anymore, since by my lights he can do no wrong, but this is another great release that highlights his melodic and rhythmic sensibilities, puckish humor, and love of noise. Standouts for me are 'Iced Jem' which has hopped up jungle drumming without being a total jump on the jungle bandwagon. Pine Effect, which is another of his trademark funk & DX7 hummable wonders. And some great piano playing. 'Mr. Angry' reminds me of the screaming track on AFX Analogue Bubblebath IV. Since muZiq started out by performing Aphex Twin covers, it's one of those Nod to a Mate numbers. On the back it says "Dedicated to Baby Damon, always remembered."

The sound on _Mr. Angry_ is a baby crying - so maybe the track is a tribute to a baby that died or something. This would be a nice idea if it wasn't for the fact that Juan Trip has already done this on a track called _Louis' Cry_ on F Communications. I've probably got some of the facts wrong but from what I've been told, Juan Trip sampled a baby crying for a record but the baby died a week or so later from choking on a sweet. The record itself is amazing as it starts out with quite a fractured housey loop - however, it soon comes together and and a beat drops in quite nicely. Just when you're settled though, there is a small breakdown preparing you for the beat thats (inevitably) about to come back in - it does but accompanied by the *loudest* distorted baby crying - it's horrifc and I love it. Apparently, DJs refused to play it, mixed out before the crying and also asked F Comms for a remix 12" without the crying. Lightweights. || [CiM] || s.walley@uea.ac.uk || http://www.sys.uea.ac.uk/~u9323899/

that record is really an endurance test. every time i've heard it out i've had to excuse myself from the dance floor. i can take power drills, fingernails on a blackboard, and the fucking blue angels buzzing my house for an entire weekend, but that record is like pouring battery acid in your ear canals. physically painful to listen to. -j-
