I couldn't agree with you more. Mike Paradinas' sound, approach and attack is
completely different from the "lords of IDM list" Richard James and Tom
Jenkinson. While Squarepusher rips out the drums as fast as can and Aphex
Twin prances around like jester, spitting on the face of fans (while they beg
for more), Mu-ziq releases seem to be just straight up good ol' electronic
listening music. His work doesn't seem to need the extremes that other like
minded artists constantly turn to, but refers more to his abilities of
creating his very stylized signature melodies and harmonies.
Don't get me wrong though. I still eat the shit up with a fork whenever James
or Jenkinson have a new release. I mean how could a thousand worshipers be
wrong?
