Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.co.uk Review
Even in the sensation-crazed world of experimental techno, quirkiness for its own sake is only a good thing the first few times you hear it. That's why the music Mike Paradinas makes as Mu-Ziq is such a joy: you're hearing a fertile, young mind bask in its own creativity, and there are also these weird little melodies going on, as well. Mu-Ziq records are rarely focused, which is at times a liability and at others a minor miracle. Royal Astronomy is the most user-friendly Mu-Ziq record to date, with lovely diva vocals and more textures and hooks than ever to accompany both the frenetic, sped-up drill-and-bass tracks and the mellow, loopy ones. Mu-Ziq's rhythmic experiments are coated in whimsy and tempered with lyricism. --Mike McGonigal

5 out of 5 stars Quality Stuff   September 17, 2002
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Making for easier listening than his previous albums, this offers a selection of all the styles of Mike Paradinas, while keeping with his very orchestrated and musical sound.
The album flows well from one track to another, making the album a great piece of listening in its entirety.
'Carpet Muncher' has to be the highlight of the album for me, a happy bouncy drum 'n' bass concerto all condensed into under 3 minutes.
Well worth the buy.



5 out of 5 stars The most bizarre electronica of today   November 10, 2000
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

What an incredible album! Mixing various electronica elements like Big-beat, Drum 'n' Bass, Ambient, Trip-hop etc. making this incredible song. '56' is a track that meets Vangelis (Composer of Blade Runner) with trip hop creating this mad vibe. Definatly recommended purchase with those with an open mind


5 out of 5 stars Best Album thus far this year   November 8, 1999
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

I love this album,while not as abstract as In pine effect and Lunatic harness (which are cool) this album is a corker and needs to be bought. All the tracks are great esp Hwicci song and Autumn Acid. The fear is a little too poppish but the rest is smart.
