Where Were U in 92? Werk Discs.

Talk about Zomby - Where Were U In '92?


Hulbine
All in all, the most accurate rendition of the oldschool sound back then. During these years many have recovered the pianos, the samples and the speed, but few did with the darkness and lack of structure. Zomby does that here. A grower, like most of his output.
kinder
I think you've put into words why almost a decade later I still return to this album, yet things like Paul Woolford's Special Request output (and, to a greater scope, a lot of the breakbeat-heavy tracks that were trendy for the past few years) fall flat, despite containing the same basic parts.
Yadon
This album would be good if Zomby took these tracks seriously enough to give them a coherent structure. Instead we get some not-quite-fully-developed ideas that don't really have a beginning or end. Otherwise a pretty good homage to the early 90s, just wish he'd spent a bit more time on them. The way the tracks just suddenly end almost in the middle of a measure is just absurd. Nothing in here that I would really bother spinning. Most of these track lengths are under 3 minutes which is not very DJ friendly.
Anarahuginn
word. and actually "no beginning, no ending tracks" are absolute Zomby's style. killer album, still bangin!
Cobyno
not a lot of cohesion going on back then really ; everyone was learning as they went along. I think it's a great homage to that era.
monotronik
That's the essence.

Zombie must really like the Shaker in Double Troubles Just Keep Rockin? It is in all of the tracks here!
Mavegar
Very mediocre tracks, i'm sure nobody would have played this crap in '92.
Yggfyn
hahaha okay. fair enough. i enjoy crap mixed with bullshit then :D
Beazezius
But this is something between crap and bullshit :)
AfinaS
There must be something in between really good and crap...
Abandoned Electrical
Dude, there was sooo much great music back in the early 90's so nobody would have needed to play this crap!This def isn't "really good". Btw i dont "hate" the producer, i just judge the music.

hi discogs. it's pretty simple. there would be no detroit without chicago house. there would be no acid 88 without detroit. there would be no UK hardcore 90-92 without acid 88. there would be no 1992 sunrise without UK hardcore 90-92. there would be no jungle and ragga without 1992 sunrise. there would be no drum'n'bass without jungle. there would be no techstep without drum'n'bass. there would be no two-step without techstep and probabily house. there would be no dubstep without techstep and probabily house and probabily IDM. so ... there would be no dubstep without 1992 sunrise.... My Music testament The fact that Zomby was 8 years old in 1992 - I don't really care. He made some perfect homework !!

A fantastic well produced journey back to the sound of 92 which touches on but never actually manages fully to re-create the DIY sound and vibes of early 90's rave , He might have used that same equipment to re-produce this Cd but the main difference is that the music of the early 90's was a reflection of what has happening then. The early 90's also saw big changes to rave culture with the Tory governments passing the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act (1994)which was the final nail in it's coffin and the 90's are destined to be remembered by people who were not there. But the question remains... Zomby where were you in 92? Definitely not a rave as you were about 8 years old.
