Full Title - Music Has The Right To Children. One of the best electronic releases of 1998, features 17 tracks. Warp.

Transmitted directly from the scuzzed Appalachian wastes outside Pittsburgh, TOBACCO is back with a new rotten IDM fantasy. Skids and Angels is a beige shower of deranged data beamed straight into your boombox. The palettes are familiar – syruppy synths, fuzzy drum samples, garbled tape hiss – all shattered and fractalized on the tile floor. Cobbling together disjointed breakneck braindance notions with signature Allegheny analog waves, Skids and Angels is a certified headphone freakout. This collection of (mostly) instrumentals shoves the classic TOBACCO production methodologies to their twisted, chopped, and warped limits. Far from the more pop-oriented spaces TOBACCO has gone, Skids and Angels spelunks deep and dank downtempo into the beatmaker cave system and opens up its own high fructose boutique.
A collaged smear of sneering melodies, kaleidoscopic drum and bass fragments, enchanting murmurs, and ratched hi hats, all coated in a charred sugarcrust gloss. Fans of classic electronic backpack pioneers like Boards of Canada and Cheetah-era Aphex will recognize the jargon and vocabulary, but TOBACCO injects this collection of beats and ambient drifts with his signature sibilance and slime. Pushing the envelope directly onto your tongue, Skids and Angels is a flash of glitched out wizardry; spun out and strange, arpeggiated and ready to be dunked directly in your deck.

Planet Mu welcomes back owner Mike Paradinas (a.k.a. µ-Ziq) for ‘Magic Pony Ride’, an album of joyful, melodic, jungle-inspiredmusic, and his first LP of new material on the label since 2013. The title reflects the childlike wonder of the album, happy melodies are foregrounded, wordless vocals bounce and echo while sounds bubble and sparkle.
Paradinas had been releasing archival albums but got a taste for making new music after a trip to Wales (inspiring‘Scurlage’, his 2021 album on Analogical Force). This influence of using trips away as a muse is carried on in ’Magic Pony Ride’ after a weekend getaway to found Paradinas riding Icelandic horses across a snowy landscape at dawn.You can almost feel the relaxed wide open spaces in the lush synth chords of the title track and ‘Uncle Daddy’.
The album also reflects on family with features from his daughter Elka on ‘Picksing’ and ‘Elka’s Song’ and ‘Galope’ in memory of his father who passed away a few years ago. The theme of family is also found in the meditative ‘Shulem’s Theme’, a title inspired by the Netflix series Shtisel.
These reflective themes tie in with this year’s 25th anniversary reissue of µ-Ziq’s 1997 breakthrough album ‘Lunatic Harness’. In... Mike’s own words “Magic Pony Ride was written as a kind of follow up to ‘Lunatic Harness’, at least in terms of genre and style. After mastering Lunatic for its reissue I went back to using breaks again on some newer tracks and this is the result!” more

2006年リリースのKASHIWA Daisuke 1stアルバム『april.#02』を本人の手により全曲 再ミックス、リマスタリングを施し、新たなジャケットと共にnobleより再リリース!
2013年初夏、新海誠監督のアニメーション映画『言の葉の庭』で遂に映画音楽家デビューを果たしたKASHIWA Daisuke。彼の特徴の一つである、映像を強く喚起させる音楽性の原点、2006年リリースの1stアルバム『april.#02』を、前レーベルでの廃盤に伴い、このたび本人の手により全曲再ミックス、リマスタリングを施し、新たなジャケットと共にnobleより再リリースする事が決定しました。
2006年にドイツのレーベルonpaよりリリースされたKASHIWA Daisukeの1stアルバム『april.#02』。クラシカルで叙情的なメロディと、過激なエディットやノイズが複雑に絡み合い展開するユニークな作風は、あの坂本龍一氏も賛辞を寄せ、彼の存在を世に知らしめるきっかけとなった、処女作にして記念碑的な作品です。中でも表題曲の「april.#02」は、ピアノやストリングスの流麗なメロディとブレイクコア風のビートとエディットがせめぎ合い、調和と破壊を繰り返しながらダイナミックに突き進む、聴き手のカタルシスを強烈に喚起する25分を超える長尺曲で、KASHIWA Daisukeの代表曲のひとつです。今回の再リリースに伴い、「april.#02」を含め全楽曲が本人の手で再ミックス、リマスタリングが施され、初期衝動の持つ荒々しさや、ストイックなまでの構築への意思はそのままに、音の解像度の向上とともに、表現力がより豊かになり、音楽作品としての強度が一層高まりました。
リリースから約7年半を経てバージョンアップしたKASHIWA Daisukeの記念すべき処女作『april.#02』。KASHIWA Daisukeの原点と洗練を、どうぞお楽しみください。
