_From Rolling Stone, Issue #697_ "Alone in his suburban London apartment, 23-year-old Michael Paradinas is a single-handedly changing the nature of sound. With a bare-bones home studio, Paradinas has assembled enough material for more than 20 albums, some of which are now seeing the light of day. Rephlex Records, the seminal underground techno label co-owned by the prolific Aphex Twin, has released a collection of Paradinas' low-tech, garage-style techno recordings, "Tango N' Vectif" under the name Mu-Ziq (pronounced "music"). Upcoming releases include "Bluff Limbo" as well as a Mu-Ziq / Aphex Twin collaboration on Rephlex, a funky-sounding album under the Jake Slanger moniker on the Clear Label and Paradinas' absolutely radical deconstructions of four tracks from indie-rick stalwarts the Auteurs. "I'd never heard the Auteurs before," Paradinas says. "They sent me the album in the post. It's shit. It doesn't have any groove. I sampled a very small part of their record and made my own tracks with it." :: Alan M. Parry :: fluid@hyperreal.com :: <finger me for PGP key> :: http://hyperreal.com/~fluid

Heh heh. I didn't think there was much left! It has 6 tracks btw. greg

While we're on the subject of mu-ziq (this may have been covered before, aqnd if it has, sorry :( )......when is Bluff Limbo being released? The real version, I mean, not the 1000 copy pressing.......Has it been released? Any action with any of his other aliases? With Bluff Limbo I will be free to rule the world!!!!! Ah Haaa haa haaa!!!!!

Hey, sorry for asking stupid trainspotter questions again, but does anyone know the _exact_ track listing for Mu-Ziq vs. Auteurs? The CD cover is quite uninformative. And about Mike Paradinas slagging off that Auteurs album: no, I haven't actually heard it, but I thought their first one was very nice. Especially loved that line "Lenny Bruce never wore dead man's shoes" :) Back to IDM, ERkki
