Out Of Breach (Manchester’s Revenge)
Mu are still best known for their sleazy, trippy 303 anthem, ‘Paris Hilton’, but this, their debut album, sees them delve deeper into a style that’s darker and weirder than their only big hit.
Mu are still best known for their sleazy, trippy 303 anthem, ‘Paris Hilton’, but this, their debut album, sees them delve deeper into a style that’s darker and weirder than their only big hit. On ‘Breach’, it doesn’t sound like Mu come from Manchester - maybe they’re football fans – as they screech deranged Oriental raps over backing tracks that take in electro, glitch and punk funk influences. Although their off the wall approach occasionally ends up sounding daft - witness the childish ‘I’m Coming To Get You’ - when their refreshingly amateurish arrangements hit the spot, they sound, unlike most electronic acts, raw and dangerous.
