Meast

Hot on the heels of his recent "Billous Paths" album comes the new collection from Planet Mu owner Mike Paradinas (aka µ-ZIQ) under the Kid Spatula moniker. Trawling his DAT archives, Paradinas delivers a collection of lost classics and amazing, heartfelt electronic vignettes, loaded with off-kilter melodies and subtle rhythms that interact with abrasive yet calming textures. Features material recorded between 1994 and 1998 when Paradinas penned his "In Pine Effect," "Lunatic Harness," and "Royal Astronomy" albums. "Much discussed double CD collection of over 30 outtakes and unreleased tracks from the man Mike Paradinas, aka Mu-Ziq, aka µ-Ziq, aka Kid Spatula, aka that bloke who’s mates with Aphex and Vibert and runs the really rather tasty Planet-Mu imprint. Phew. “Meast” consists of material that dates back to the 1994-1998 period and…is a largely playful, loveable collection of electronic lullabies and feel-good numbers from an era when electronic music was more about escapism and fun than about digits, advertising and the spotting of the train." --Boomkat
