Joining the ranks of late '90s electronic geniuses is u-Ziq, otherwise known as Mike Paradinas. And here's the deal with the album. Lunatic Harness showcases very musical bleeps, bloops and waves of soft harmony with the beats of a true maniac. Yeah, it's weird. What'd you think? No, it's not as impossibly fucked up as Aphex Twin's Richard D. James Album, but let's face it -- if you're gonna pick up some electronic stuff, you might as well be able to move to it.

As with most of Astralwerks' catalog, you're looking at upwards of 70 minutes of music that you can take as an opportunity to either dance like MC Hammer or munch on a bag of mushrooms. 'Cause Lunatic Harness is both wildly out of control and soft like a strawberry smoothie. And if the beats don't make you seasick, you're good to go like Chris Columbus.
