| | Description: | Lunatic Harness, ?-Ziq's Rare And Sought-After Fourth Album, Was Originally Released In July 1997 On Virgin's Hut Recordings Label. It Is Generally Considered To Be Mike Paradinas's Best Work Of The Nineties. An Apple Music Review Describes Lunatic Harness As "The Prettiest Album To Come Out Of The Mid-'90s "Drill'n'bass Movement", Noting That Paradinas Eschewed The Abrasiveness Of Similar Works By Squarepusher And Aphex Twin In Favour Of "Atmospheres Of Ethereal Color And Shimmering Melody",
Bringing The Album "Closer To Pop Music Than Anything Paradinas Had Previously Attempted".

Fusing breakbeat-driven energy with delicate, almost pastoral melodies, the album captures µ-ZIQ's unique ability to balance complexity and emotional depth. The 25th Anniversary Edition invites both longtime fans and new listeners to rediscover a landmark work of IDM and experimental electronica, presenting the record with renewed care and attention to detail. Tracks move fluidly from hyper-detailed, chopped drum programming to shimmering synth landscapes, creating a listening experience that is as head-spinning as it is deeply immersive. As a CD edition, it's ideal for collectors who value physical media and want to experience the flow of the album as a cohesive whole.
µ-ZIQ (pronounced "music") is the primary project of British electronic musician Mike Paradinas, a key figure in the evolution of IDM and experimental electronic music since the early 1990s. Over the course of numerous albums, EPs and collaborations, µ-ZIQ has earned a reputation for adventurous sound design, intricate rhythms and a rare melodic sensibility that sets his work apart from more purely abstract electronics. His discography includes several releases that are often cited as genre touchstones, and he has remained influential across generations of electronic artists, both through his own output and his role in the scene. "Lunatic Harness" is widely regarded as one of his signature works, showcasing his knack for bending jungle and breakcore tropes into something emotionally resonant and distinctly personal.
Planet Mu, the label behind this edition, is one of the most respected names in forward-thinking electronic music. Founded and curated by Mike Paradinas himself, Planet Mu has been instrumental in bringing innovative sounds to a wider audience, championing everything from IDM and glitch to footwork and experimental bass music. The label has a long history of discovering and nurturing boundary-pushing artists, and its catalog is known for uncompromising quality, adventurous spirit and a deep commitment to the evolution of underground electronic culture. This 25th Anniversary Edition of "Lunatic Harness" reflects Planet Mu's dedication to preserving essential works while continuing to push electronic music into new territories. | | | Manufacturer No.: |
