76. ZOMBY - DEDICATIONBack to back with Kode9 on this list for a straight-up double dose of irresistable dub and jungle. Sometimes I wish shit lke this would get a better playout in public, be it a bar or a mall, a carwash or a salon. Essentially a sketchbook of barbed melodies, arpeggiated and off-kilter - it just kicks up a skank and then mellows out, before kicking up a skank again and then mellowing out once more.
Zomby typifies the mess of London in a non-unabridged way. There is a childlike zig-zag to the thematics of this album. It's all over the shop stylewise, but the synths permeate through. When it's 16 songs with smatterings of bass @ just over 35 minutes - you might feel a bit pertubed on paper and I wouldn't blame ya. I was too, until I hit the big green play button; you won't regret it.
