Ian Mcdonnell Is An Irish Producer Living In Wicklow Near Dublin. Alongside His Solo Releases As Eomac He's Also One Half Of The Duos Lakker, Noeverything And Lena Andersson. 'Cracks' Represents A Change Of Scenery And A Change Of Practice From His Previous Two Albums Which Were Both Conceptualised From The Outset And Recorded While Living In Berlin. In Contrast 'Cracks' Was Made In A Beautiful Rural Part Of Ireland Without Any Outside Pressure. These Circumstances Allowed Ian To Wipe The Slate Clean And Make An Album Guided By His Mood On Any Particular Day, Connecting Into The Subtle Power Of His New Environment And Reflecting It, Rather Than Working To Please The Suffocating Demands Of Clublife. The Title 'Cracks' Comes From The Idea That, To Quote Leonard Cohen, A Crack Is "How The Light Gets In", But Also Of Course It's A Title That Bears Witness To The Cracks Fomenting In The World Right Now. The Music Comes Across With Depth And Passion, Sounding Deep And Mossy With Eomac's Penchant For Punchy, Shuffling Drums Underpinning The Emotive Tracks. From The Off, The Furious 'Mandate For Murder' Flips And Repeats Akala's Protest About Systemic Racism, Rushing Deep Into The Panicked Sirens Of 'Portuguese Man O' War'. The Album Settles Into A Sense Of Mystery, Wildness And Dark Otherworldliness With The Foggy Drone And Timber Kick Of 'Ancient Self' Reflecting The Awe And Spiritual Connections To His New Environment, Much Like The Gorgeous Strings And Aqueous Bleeps Of 'Seashells' Or The Pitch-Shifted Shoegaze Of 'Prophetess'. At Other Points It Responds To The Human Condition, For Instance The Cathartic 'Falling Through The Cracks' Where A Broken Scream Is Pitted Against Clattering Drums. At Other Moments It Simply Reaches Out; 'Reasons To Live's' Whispered Mantra Of "I Know You Are Loved By Somebody" Is Gently Insistent.It Ends With A Reference To A Place He's Left Behind, Seen Through The Lens Of Nature. 'All The Rabbits In The Tiergarten' Could Be A Missing Track From Aphex's Ambient Works, Albeit...

Planet Mu is an electronic music record label run by Mike Paradinas, who’s also known as µ-Ziq, based in Great Britain. From 1995 until 1997, the label was a subsidiary imprint of Virgin Records, releasing µ-Ziq’s own records and the “Mealtime” compilation. In 1998, Mike Paradinas took the label independent, distributed through SRD. The label started releasing music by like-minded experimental electronic musicians, its earliest successes in this field being Mike himself, Jega, Capitol K, Hellfish & Producer, and Luke Vibert. Since the early 2000s, the label has also tracked and reflected Mike’s love of British dance music, releasing one of the first Dubstep albums, Vex’d’s “Degenerate” and one of the first Grime artist albums, Virus Syndicate’s “Work Related Illness” both in 2005, as well as many 12" singles by the likes of Benga, Distance, Boxcutter, Pinch and more. In 2003, Planet Mu released the first of its famous reissues of peerless British dance producers in Remarc’s two retrospective albums – these have been followed by the acclaimed retrospectives of Terror Danjah and Bizzy B. In 2006, Mary Anne Hobbs curated the peerless “Warrior Dubz”, the first of three very successful compilations with the label. Planet Mu has followed this many-forked path to this day, in 2009, releasing cutting edge music by Floating Points, Brackles, Gemmy and Falty DL among others and 2010 is no exception, showing some incredible releases from the likes of Starkey, Raffertie, Slugabed, 0=0 and Rudi Zygadlo.
