Reckon he's being a bit disingenuous about the alphabetical sequencing. Well obviously it is alphabetically sequenced, but I wouldn't be surprised if he decided on the track titles after deciding the order. Some of the segues sound very deliberate.

Second disc's a little samey.

Maybe he'll call off the twitter war when he hears I think the first disc is the best thing he's done?

this is really cool, abrupt endings and lack of editing aside

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

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.

good. but overrated as hell
― the late great, Monday, 16 June 2014 16:41 (ten years ago) link
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.

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
― paolo, Friday, 29 July 2016 13:41 (eight years ago) link
Wait I thought Zomby hated Burial?
― chap, Friday, 29 July 2016 15:13 (eight years ago) link
zomby talks a lot of shit but seems like a top bloke
― mh, Friday, 29 July 2016 18:10 (eight years ago) link
Well, this was a collaboration that played to nobody's strengths

did something leak? I've only heard the darkstar collaboration
― mh, Monday, 1 August 2016 12:33 (eight years ago) link
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

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
― mh, Monday, 9 March 2020 20:37 (four years ago) link
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
― mh, Monday, 9 March 2020 21:12 (four years ago) link
I think it was an assumption on my part based on his posting style
