Zomby

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

is ultra going to be really good or what

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

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
