Where Were U in 92 compresses rave memory into a short, feverish burst of chopped breaks, pitched-up vocals and deliberately rough hardcore signifiers. Zomby treats nostalgia less as reverence than as collage, letting the period detail flash by too quickly to settle into costume. 'Daft Punk Rave' lasts sixty-two seconds, and the whole record is done inside forty minutes.
№ 20 on The 10 Best Dubstep Albums
Hardcore nostalgia constructed single-handed, and adjacent to this scene rather than inside it. Belongs in the conversation.
№ 20 on The 10 Best Jungle and Drum & Bass Albums
Hardcore nostalgia constructed single-handed, and adjacent to this scene rather than inside it. Belongs in the conversation regardless.
