Hadn't listened to any µ-Ziq in about a year when I pulled this off the shelves last week... I forgot how great it is. Am I wrong?

Classic. It's the first µ-Ziq album I bought, and the only one I really still listen to. Following it up with Royal Astronomy (which I liked at the time) sort of left a bad taste in my mouth.

I really don't know why everyone likes this album. To me it sounds horribly pointless - some nice melodies drowned out with badly programmed drill'n'bass bits that really don't work. It sounds very dated now. I just get the impression mr. paradinas had listened to the RDJ album one time too many. Royal Astronomy, on the other hand is lovely but some fucker managed to nab it before i came home from uni so I have to get it again.

never liked lunatic harness that much. i don't think paradinas has actually dated that well, although the pre-harness records were good at the time, i remember harness being a bit mediocre at the time.

there are still some good tracks on 'pine effect'

have you heard I Am Robot And Proud? he is quite paradinas-esque

fuck "I am Robot and Proud" (despite the cool name) John Peel played it and it sounded exactly how you'd expect - the noise made by a talentless prat on his dad's PC. Speaking of which, I take it you've heard my Autofire stuff Gareth? It's gotten a bit better of late, even if I say so myself. NYATCH!

i havent heard autofire i'm afraid. i would like to though.

i've only heard i am robot and proud because he played with printed circuit and random number earlier this summer. he reminded me very much of paradinas, wasnt really my thing
