First time on CD for µ-Ziq's previously vinyl-only EPs 'Rediffusion' and 'XTEP,' combined here with exclusive track "Forger" as the 'XTLP.'
In stark contrast to a large percentage of his previous work, 'XTLP' is joyous all the way through. The twelve compositions abandon the furrow-browed quest for cutting-edge exploration exchanging it for an altogether more carefree and fun approach, with only the footwork-influenced "Monj2" and exclusive track "Forger" directly referencing any current electronic influences.
If one thing unites the approaches here it's a new-found sense of emotion transformed into sound with the skill of a truly seasoned innovator and soldier. Welcome back µ-Ziq!
