Pronunciation
[edit]I removed "(pronounced moo-zeek rather than music)" until we can get a citation. I've heard many pronunciations, least of all "moo-zeek". Also, on the Mu page, it says it's pronounced "music", in contradiction to the above claim. I'll correct that as well, if no one objects.--Weakmassive 02:29, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
I have removed the "stub" message from this article, now that I have added the discography and several links. Anyone still think it belongs? Also: I am not totally satisfied with the layout of the discography -- is there a standard by which the discographies on Wikipedia should be designed? I would prefer to include information about singles, the format of the release, the label. Any suggestions? Matthew McVickar 22:48, Apr 9, 2004 (UTC)
Rumoured Aliases
[edit]- Frost Jockey - Tim Tetlow

Tim Tetlow may still be subject to debate, but Frost Jockey has pretty much been confirmed... Andrewhime 04:54, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
Reason?
[edit]I am going to remove the line "He makes his music with Reason 3.0." This is an impossibility.
There is no way this can be true, and I believe the author of this article inserted that information without a source and based solely on opinion. Reason 3.0 was released in mid-2005. Paradinas' latest album was released in 2003 so I find it quite curious that he was able to produce such an album on software that had not yet been written. Paradinas has been producing since the early 1990's before Reason 1.0 even existed.
Paradinas has given several interviews in which his equipment is duscussed. Among other things, he has a studio full of analog gear, synths, reels, etc. He NEVER mentions Reason.
Category name
[edit]Since Paradinas releases records under many aliases, I put all of his albums into Category:Mike Paradinas albums. Since most of his records were released under the name μ-ziq, I put the μ-ziq records into Category:μ-ziq albums and Category:Mike Paradinas albums. These is a technical problem with naming articles and categories starting with a lower-case letter. If you call it "μ-ziq", it looks like "M-ziq" on the page. To prevent this, I used a zero-width space, or to start off the category name. That's why it looks so strange in the category list at the end of each album article: [[Category:μ-ziq albums]]. If you have any questions, let me know. -Freekee (talk) 03:54, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Genres
[edit]Mike P. can be listed under WAY too many genres. I think this is the main reason the IDM term came to use - I'm in favour to rid of all genres but Electronic and IDM. 203.113.239.131 (talk) 02:57, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Discography
[edit]Is Aberystwyth Marine really a compilation? Sounds to me that it's a previously 'lost' album:

None of the compilations listed are actually compilations, other than XTLP (which combines XTEP and Rediffusion ep). "Somerset Avenue Tracks (1992–1995)" is no more a compilation than Aphex Twin's "Selected Ambient Works 85-92" was. Likewise "Aberystwyth Marine", "RY30 Trax" and "Challenge Me Foolish" aren't compilations either. They're albums made up of previously unreleased tracks from the massive massive leftover bin he has at home. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.50.23.154 (talk) 10:29, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
