Zomby At Juno Download

Review: If the first single from this album, "Natalia's Song", left you worried that Zomby may have toned down his sound to fit the current zeitgeist in bass music, then don't. Dedication is a long way removed from Where Were U In '92?, but the influence of jungle and hardcore remains, albeit in a more spectral form, where skeletal beats play off against organic tones, his characteristic purple arpeggios drenched in reverb. The progression in his sound is just enough to add an element of introspection to his productions, while retaining the essence of what made his earlier material so irresistible; it's an album where air horns can co-exist happily with string sections and it doesn't seem jarring .With several tracks that are at times almost baroque in their execution, Dedication is an album that, whatever your preconceived notions of Zomby's sound, or bass music as a whole, must be heard.

Review: Previously released on Actress' Werk Discs in 2008 as a CD and digital release, this now seminal debut from Zomby finds itself getting a reissue courtesy of the producer's freshly minted Cult Music imprint. Taking jungle, hardcore and 90s rave, Zomby fuses them into a hyperreal energy rush, filled with laser guided salvos of piano stabs and airhorns. Four years since its release it's still a peerless album - if you've yet to familiarise yourself with the world of Zomby, this album is no less than essential.
