Editorial Reviews
Plan B
"A set of timebomb digi-pulses and cranium-scraping skank, set against a backdrop of thrillingly dystopic futurism. Its beautiful, in a most gnarly fashion."
Album of Issue - Wire
"The spheres have never aligned in quite the way that they do on London Zoo. Hovers immaculate between beauty and fear"
Word
"Putting the spring back into dubstep. Magnificent."
Customer Reviews
Immaculate
Dancehall and ragga have never been my music choices at home. Yet, with 'London Zoo', I found myself strangely drawn to the extreme melting pressure of The Bug's sounds. This is a deeply futuristic album drawing on Caribbean heritage - and, as such, featuring some fierce MC-ing.
The lyrical content is intelligent, intelligible and interesting. The bass-lines are deeply sonic and the drums pound proudly across your ears.
These elements mean that 'London Zoo' is my tip for album of 2008.
I don't work for Ninja Tune, but when they release something like this - I wish I did.
London Zoo - The Bug
I read a review in the paper and went out on a limb for this record. I was really surprised how much I liked it. It covers a lot of the dubstep genre, whilst extending into others. Very good, and in my Top Ten of albums for 2008.
Sub Mind Bass Blowing!
At first I was so dubious about this, I wasnt sure I would like its 'dubby' feel or its Dancehall-Step as I was more interested in a sub-bass dubstep / grime fest. But this release has made me mature and avoid grimey angry litte brats!
Also, what really blew my mind was the connection to ICE, GOD, Techno Animal and Dalek! Brilliant!
Each song on this album is a winner, individual and so diverse and progressive. Considering I got into this genre via getting bored of low-end sonic doom (Sunn, Earth, Melvins)...I cant wait to get more of it!
SKENG!
