Why it's here

Rephlex-era Paradinas; the melody buried under deliberate damage

Bluff Limbo sounds like melody recovered from damaged hardware. µ-Ziq pushes sweetness up through glitch, awkward structure and seams that never quite close. Its best moments feel tender precisely because the machinery refuses to behave. Uneven because of that awkwardness, inventive because of it too.
