Zomby - Dedication

Is it a proper leak, or a rip of the stream?

It was ripped by iTunes so I guess it's an improper leak LOL

It's VBR, average bitrate is 278kbps.

This is good.

It's an excellent album, at times scarily clinical. Favourite tracks so far are Alothea and Riding With Death.

totally shit

really long interview, also pretty emotional

i've read this one, this is good. he's got a bit of depth to him, shame about his dad tho

This guy is nowhere near as good as he thinks he is. Album is a pleasant listen but pretty insubstantial imo.

unable to justify the hype

yeah, it's ok, pretty good. the whole time i listened i thought about presets on my Zebra VST.

It's literally an album of unfinished sketches. Very good sketches I may add, but it just feels like he's scoured his HDD over the past few years finding the tracks that show promise and rather than finish them, he's just given them to 4AD and said "deal with it"

Most of his work is like this actually.

Yeah you hit some really important aspect of Zomby that it somehow sounds unfinished, rough... with an album like "where were u in 92" it totally fits and adds to the atmosphere, but with the tunes on "dedictation", which seem like they should sound monstrous and perfected, it actually destroys a lot of possible atmosphere.

yes because if he worked just a little harder, and more discerningly like choosing a different synth preset than his typical squarewave/sid chip fast arpegio sound than his music would loose 'it's charm'

Zomby makes my dick hard.

I feel like I should enjoy Zomby. When I zoom out a bit it sorta reminds me of an amateurs first attempts at electronic music. Cheesy arps and overdone hi hat work. I can't figure out the appeal.

This is getting massive reviews, but I am sceptical.

I am half way through the album since I posted about about 15 mins ago, lol.

Ordered!!!!

Sounds mint to me. I like the dark resonating simplicity of it. I usually buy vinyl but this is a cd album as you could listen to it as one long peice of music. Like one 35 minute track.

The 4AD logo on the front cover must justify some of it.

C'mon then you cunt

yeah it's weird this guy got signed, it really sounds amateurish, but i love it i dunno...

there's some aphex vibe to it...

crappy

Played it a few times since getting it.

Mmm some of the tunes are like post-rave, urban nursery rhymes.

I like. A lot.
