U-Ziq - Lunatic Harness - VINYL LP

Lunatic Harness, µ-Ziq's rare and sought-after fourth album, was originally released in July 1997 on Virgin's Hut Recordings tag. It is generally considered to be Mike Paradinas's best work of the nineties. An Apple Music review describes Lunatic Harness as Inchthe prettiest album to come out of the mid-'90s Inchdrill'n'bass movementInch, noting that Paradinas eschewed the abrasiveness of similar works by Squarepusher and Aphex Twin in favour of Inchatmospheres of ethereal color and shimmering melodyInch, bringing the album Inchcloser to pop music than anything Paradinas had previously attemptedInch. Planet Mu has compiled a special 25th anniversary edition 4xLP boxset bringing together the My Little Beautiful EP, the Lunatic Harness album and May 1998's Brace Yourself EP (released by USA's Astralwerks tag) with the addition of four rare tracks. Discs one and two of the vinyl are the original Lunatic Harness album, disc three compiles the My Little Beautiful b-sides with three unreleased cuts from the period and a remix of Mr. Angry from 1997's Mealtime compilation, while disc four is the 8-track Brace Yourself EP which hasn't been re-issued since 1998. This all comes in individual printed sleeves housed in a rigid box with a double-sided insert collage of some of the press Mike received at the time. There is also a 2xCD edition with the same tracklisting. 4LP BOXSETA Brace Yourself JasonHasty Boom AlertMushroom CompostB BlainvilleLunatic HarnessApproaching MenaceC My Little BeautifulSecret Stair Pt. 1Secret Stair Pt. 2WannabeD Catkin and TeaselLondonMidwinter LogE Hanky PokeryJiggery PankyWorcesterThe Cut Of My JibF Lunatic Harness (Original Demo)Lunatic Harness (Remix)Mr. Angry (Remix)G Brace Yourself (Remix)KubbaVaken BoltLosers' MarchH Summer Living 2IntellitagAbmoitBrace Yourself (Reprise)
