Zomby - Dedication

He has a new album out. It's pretty good, but like a lot of
his releases, it's basically a bunch of unfinished tunes +
ideas, which he has thrown together, in no particular order
and without much focus. I do wish he'd spend a bit more time
on the tracks and develop them more.

Anyway, it's worth a listen.

You're not really selling it to me there.

Zomby takes you on a journey through giltched-out,
post-hipcore beats with heartwarming callbacks to
nu-romantic 'cock worship'-wave and proto-lipstickstep, five
out of five, absolutely essential listening for summer,
candidate for most trendy ejaculate stain 2011.

Each and every review that contains the word "essential"
guarantees my purchase.

stream all the tracks here

Like I say, they're good tracks, but they just don't go
anywhere for the most part and are over the moment you
actually start getting into them.

Found a review that says how I feel about it. I'm a
pretty big fan, not nuts about him. You can tell he knows
exactly what he's doing, but he was far too careful to
really make anything amazing; I hope he'll actually
experiment more in the future. The intro to "Things Fall
Apart" makes me love it best :)

This, "Like I say, they're good tracks, but they just
don't go
anywhere for the most part and are over the moment you
actually start getting into them."
sums it up perfectly.


Some good ideas, but not enough work on them or progression
within the tracks to warrant stringing them out longer, so
he cuts them short and you can never get into it before it
is over. The rattlesnake sound that serves the purpose of a
hh on "Witch Hunt" sounds sublime on a loud system, mind.
It's brilliant the way it cuts through everything else that
is going on. We were listening to it in the car and my
girlfriend thought it was something in the car outside the
music, it sounded so far removed from it.

one of my favourite albums of the year. its quality. loved
where were you in '92 as well. everyone goes on about burial
and loefah and dmz being at the forefront of abstract
dubstep production, lets not forget the zomby too. am also
enjoying the new martyn album, its a winner, great
production.

saw him play a couple weeks ago. the reason the songs don't
go anywhere is that he just doesn't give a fuck - zero
effort. it translates into his dj sets perfectly.

blech.

Listening to the new album right now. It's just as boring,
same formula of looping shit for 3 minutes and calling it a
song.

Alothea is a great tune though.

Oh and check this and see if it sounds familiar

Where Were U in 92 was gold dust. One Foot In Front of the
Other is a good in too - and Test Me For A Reason. He's far
more interesting than most dubsteppers.
