There we were last week, minding our own collective business, when an mp3 promo dropped through the (online, so not really an actual) door from Werk Discs. And of all people, it was by Zomby - he of ‘Spliff Dub’ and ‘Liquid Dancehall’ fame - with a full-length album called Where Were U In 92? And the best news? It’s excellent.
As you might suspect from the title, Where Were U is a throw-back to early nineties hardcore, fully-mixed with rave stabs, air-horns, ‘Let Me Be Your Fantasy’ and 'The Bouncer' references and bound together by Bizarre Inc-revering piano lines. It’s also the first album we’ve heard since Gang Gang Dance’s Saint Dymphna where the office is in a collective state of WOW over it. Well, those of us who’re in anyway - we’re planning the conversion of the others as you read this…
Where Were U In 92? is out on Werk Discs on October 24. Watch out for the full FACT review nearer the time.

Hello.
Do you think that 'Where were you in 92 ?' will be soon available in France ?
In 92 I was 11, but I deeply want this record...
