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."
Anyone know the story behind this?
