In Pine Effecttechno

Spin (2/96, p.86) - 6 (out of 10) - "...build[s] tracks from unlikely sources....U-Ziq's got a music hall sense of melody--some of these tracks could back up Petula Clark if he slowed 'em up and muted the blitzkrieg snare blasts....more of a cool blueprint than a fabulous building..."
Melody Maker (10/14/95, p.41) - "...whereas the Aphex Twin's topographical doodles suggest undiscovered, unpeopled planets of techno, U-Ziq's approach is a good deal more emotional....This is techno elevated above the mere functionalism of the dancefloor, lighting fires in the heart and painting pictures for the mind's eye."
Option (3-4/96, p.14) - "...fall somewhere between hyperkinetic jungle and seismically hyped-up techno....an amusement park of moods that range from haunted house to fun house..."
Alternative Press (12/95, p.106) - "...It's [the] creative conflation of sonic elements along with Paradinas' unerring melodic sense, command of complex rhythms, and through-your-face metallic textures that make his work so riveting."
