Album Notes
Mu-Ziq: Mike Paradinas.
In spite of rumors to the contrary, Mu-Ziq (the first syllable is actually the Greek letter Mu), is really only one man. Englishman Mike Paradinas has recorded under the pseudonyms Jake Slazenger and Diesel M, among others, and has been hailed as "techno's brightest hope." LUNATIC HARNESS lends credence to such lofty praise. Paradinas offers up fractured rhythmic structures and lush keyboard pads atop an unrelenting barrage of stuttering, tripping, manic breakbeat drum samples (as best displayed on the title track).
Paradinas manages to coax a lot of music out of his samples, and by combining hyperactive rhythms with mournful keyboard textures and expansive arrangements, he allows the songs to bounce in and out of widely varied tempos. Melodically, the tunes are both catchy and dreamy, allowing for frequent repetition, the staple of techno composition. With LUNATIC HARNESS, Mike Paradinas, or Mu-Ziq, lives up to every bit of the superlative praise he has received, and manages to take a genre which thrives on rapid change and give it a powerful shove into the future.

Editorial Reviews
Included in Q Magazine's 50 Best Albums of 1997.
Q (01/01/1998)

...LUNATIC HARNESS might be too keen not to stay in one place but underneath the studied experimentaion, Mu-Ziq weaves TUNES of the highest order....LUNATIC HARNESS is (experi)mental as anything digi-electro for android junglists and their mad-for-it cyber-chums...
NME (06/28/1997)

...so contagious, so cutely seductive....a chilling, subterranean interlude, drawn...to somewhere just off the map.
Melody Maker (07/05/1997)

3.5 Stars (out of 5) - ...beautiful, melancholy sounds and fantastically twisted rhythms....etches expressive--sometimes even humorous--little wrinkles into techno's typically hard shell.
Rolling Stone (08/07/1997)
