To celebrate 20 years of ╡-Ziq, and Planet Mu's 300th release,
Mike Paradinas, owner of Planet Mu has prepared this vinyl only,
carefully compiled, limited edition album charting his unreleased
productions from the start of his career in the early nineties.
Curated by his wife and partner in the band Heterotic, Lara Rix-
Martin, the twelve tracks on this double album run the gamut of
his various styles from the placid, evocative ambient rhodes of
'Air' to the syncopated industrial techno of 'Toy Gun #2' and lots
more inbetween. The album opens with the woozy yet elegant
counterpoint of 1993's 'Jewel Tea' which swiftly descends into
distorted HR-16 drum machine chaos. 'Vinxel' switches to a more
stately mood with it's woodblock bassline and measured 4/4 pulse
keeping pace with one of those patent ╡-Ziq melodies you'd swear
you've heard somewhere before. Both 'Trail Quest' and 'Spooky
Tooth' continue in this melodic vein until the aforementioned
'Air' slows it all down with a much needed breather. The second
half of the album goes into darker territory with the detuned
piano of 'Str06' duelling it out with a low-slung hip hop beat.
'Diala' sustains the reverb drenched mood while adding a sweeter
edge as a synth line makes an appearance straight out of his 1993
album Tango N'Vectif. 1995's 'Airto' brings some Marimba pierced,
dark, cut-up jungle and the album starts to approaching the final
stretch with the Peel Session tracks 'Johnson's Q-Fab' and the
classic 'Green Lanes'. Mike Paradinas has also compiled a further
12 track album Somerset Avenue Tracks Volume 2 included as a
download card only with this edition.
Dedicated to Neil Jones R.I.P.
