Zomby

http://www.sickchirpse.com/zomby-vs-the-world/

The problem is that once he takes to the internet he sounds like that kid in school who thought he was a badman for smoking a joint outside the portacabins

I have similar feelings about the website sickchirpse.com

I noticed it is quite dreadful when I started clicking further..

Where was I in 2008? This is great. Sounds like he's maybe a dick so I won't read the stiff about him as a person.

dedication, the nothing ep and with love are even better imo

good. but overrated as hell

Yeah I've come to the conclusion he's not as good a producer as he thinks he is. Loads of interesting ideas, though.

no one could be as good a producer as he thinks he is.

his twitter feed is 90% how great he is and how he'll beat-up anyone who challenges his greatness. his music is good, tho.

who the fuck reads twitter

So how about this then

After one listen I think it sounds more like Burial than Zomby and that one or both of them have been listening to juke recently

Wait I thought Zomby hated Burial?

zomby talks a lot of shit but seems like a top bloke

Well, this was a collaboration that played to nobody's strengths

did something leak? I've only heard the darkstar collaboration

this is actually quite excellent. like zomby producing burial, rather than zomby x burial, or zomby vs burial or whatever. all burials samurai slices and clinks and drizzly crackle but none of the other stuff that is considered his trademarks. be interesting to know who did what.

If everyone's making future music why does it usually all sound the same

The idea isn't to create a scene it's to create a vision

For anyone else who didn't know where this was

is ultra going to be really good or what

three days out and I've only heard two songs!

guess what arrived in the mail today :D

is ultra going to be really good or what

It is indeed really good. Not really a major development of his sound but still a cracking album

The vocal sample in Fly2 is taken from this. I'll be keeping an eye on Banshee because that's one of the best tracks on the album

love the Darkstar collab track

ended up picking up a used cd copy of "with love" while traveling, since it's sometimes nice to listen to discs in the car on a long drive

better than i remembered, but i am 90% sure i was using "top bloke" ironically upthread since the guy's a notorious shithead

I used to post on the dubstepforum probably circa 2006/7 or whatever and zomby was on there, early in his production career when like "one spliff" or whatever that song was out and he was probably 18 or so., obviously a total prick of a poster.

anyway, there was another annoying poster, a 12 year old boy white-rapper who just spammed constantly. zomby took exception to this and wrote a post, which has become seared in my memory, saying that if this child ever released a record, zomby would go to a store selling it, take all the copies they had and piss on them

a few sites list his birth year as 1980 (!) but I'm guessing they all loop back to the same sketchy source

I think it was an assumption on my part based on his posting style
