New album from Mike Paradinas aka µ-Ziq (Virgin/Warp/Rephlex). A trawl of the DAT archives for lost classics and amazing heartfelt electronic vignettes. Off-kilter melodies and subtle rhythms interact with abrasive, yet calming textures to create this moreish follow-up to Mike’s last album as Kid Spatula, 2000’s “Full Sunken Breaks”. This archive collection dates from between 1994 and 1998 and includes tracks from the periods when he was writing such classic albums as “In Pine Effect”, “Lunatic Harness” and “Royal Astronomy”. Mike owns and runs Planet Mu records and his last album as µ-Ziq, “Bilious Paths” (Planet Mu/July 2003) has sold over thirteen thousand copies worldwide so far.
