altho they claim they gots all the vinyls on there.. well, where are the two 12"s by vibert?? -- Planet Mu On Bleep 16 / 07 / 2004 Planet Mu is the label set up and managed by Mike Paradinas (aka Mu-Ziq) Home to the likes of Venetian Snares, Remarc, Jega, Luke Vibert and Mu-Ziq himself, Planet Mu has released music from of all styles and genres. The entire catalogue is now available through Bleep. Thanks to Mike's archive searching over the last couple of months, even the very rare vinyl-only releases are now here in high quality audio. On top of that, there are several releases that now feature bleep-only bonus tracks. Anything missing is solely due to licensing restrictions, eg The Remarc and Hellfish releases, and some Capitol K. ------------------------- Planet Mu was originally conceived in 1995 as an "imprint" on Virgin Records (aka Hut Recordings in UK or Astralwerks in US) on which to release µ-ziq and then possibly in the future, other artists as well. And lo, in 1997, the "Mealtime" compilation by various artists was released on Planet Mu/Hut Recordings (aka Virgin Records) featuring Jega, AFX, Elton Fastbrook & etc to much critical acclaim, but it didn't really cut it for the Virgin paymasters who weren't really used to distributing those sorts of artists (ie not the Spice Girls) worldwide and didn't how to know market it, let alone sell it. Which is why it's quite hard to find these days. Anyway: This prompted Mike Paradinas to set up Planet Mu independently of Virgin in 1998, independently distributed through those fine people at SRD. The first independent release was (in June 98) Jega's Type Xero EP (ziq001), the rest is history.

Reply to:: [idm] planetmu & bleep a few days ago.

I can understand the two Jega albums being unavailable is the US, due the Matador deal, but why is Type Xero also off limits? I mean, if Matador has plans to reissue it, I'm all for that, but I don't see that happening. What gives? Maybe I should just ask the folks at Bleep.
