5...according to our Brian on Wed 06 Dec, 2006.

So here we have the long awaited follow up to the million shifting "Cosmic Forces Of Mu" comp on Planet Moooooo. A 2xCD round-up of new, unreleased, 7" vinyl only & album tracks spanning the entire current roster of Mike Paradinas's pioneering electronic imprint. It's called "Children Of Mu", opens with a shredded & looped choral symphony courtesy of The Gasman (this even had our Clint darting over to find out what it was!), featuring along the way an amazing Chevron tune, the FIRST BRAND NEW TRACK BY JEGA FOR 4 YEARS! (which is just so Jega it hurts!), tunes by Lexaunculpt, Patrick Wolf, Venetian Snares, Luke Vibert, Leafcutter John, Shitmat (the 7" only Shopliftin' Gabba), Hrvatski, Joseph Nothing....and the list goes on. Really, even if you don't really buy CDs (like me!) this is the one to invest in. We've got initial copies on a deal, meaning we can flog 'em for under a tenner so be quick! A truly awesome collection.collection of forward thinking music!

4...according to Renars.

a cream of Planet Mu kids and friendlies, really recommended, lovely tracks by Julian Fane, Ambulance, The Gasman.. ranges from a healthy dose of d'n'base and breakbeat to warm & noisy stuff.

Rating: 4 out of 5
