Yeah, I got it earlier. Solid track, nice packaging. Looking forward to the album in July.

 

BTW, it's cheaper @ boomkat or chemical records

This was certainly a highlight of the Burial/Kode9 mix, really glad it's getting a release (although I was pretty sure it was going to be on Hyperdub)

Yes, so mine arrived the other day. Its a nice package execpt you have to RIP the outside of the sleeve to open it.

I guess it was worth the 9 quids. I hope you enjoy the 4-minute song with a damaged sleeve. :cool:

Update: Zomby’s currently addressing this issue on Twitter. Well, sort of.

 

A producer on Soundcloud has uploaded a loop of music that he claims to have written, solo, in October 2007.

Many FACT readers will instantly recognise it as Zomby’s 2011 single ‘Natalia’s Song’, bar a couple of minor differences. The producer, named Reark, claims that the title is a reference to Natalia Ladygina, a Russian friend of his, covering Irina Dubcova’s ‘O nem’. He goes on to detail the sequence of events as he sees them:

 

“01. I wrote this loop back in October 2007, entirely by myself, posting it on myspace.

“02. Zomby, with whom I was communicating, hears the loop and offers to collaborate to finish it. I agree and send him the original Reason song file + Rex file of the vocals.

“03. Zomby posts the loop on his myspace without crediting me, I complain, he takes it down.

“04. In the next months Zomby suggests where the track might get released. I continue to remind him that it’s a collaboration.

“05. Without my knowledge, a slightly revised version is aired by Mary Anne Hobbs on Radio 1, you can hear Zomby’s revised drum variation from 1:06 — 1:36.

This is the only significant change he’s made to the track. The rest is looping, and some slight editing of the vocal cuts.

“06. The track gets released on 4AD in May 2011, I notice in August 2011. I complain first to Zomby with no effect, then to 4AD, to whom I send this loop plus an e-mail sent from me to Zomby with the original Reason song file from October 2007. 4AD accept my evidence and change credits to include my name.”

 

A glance at 4AD’s website shows that they have now credited Reark on the track, so his sixth point is certainly true. It’s not the first bit of controversy to crop up from ‘Natalia’s Song’ either; upon the song’s release last year, Irina Dubcova

You can stream Reark’s loop below."

All of the British guys around who like Zomby's music:

I'm from Russia and i love what Zomby does, so please

forgive us all for letting such an embarrasing situation happen.

This old bitch just wanted to remind people about hersefl, i don't think

she's actually going to sue.

Huge amount of Apologies to the UK and all of them musicians around.

Bless you all!

It reaches past taking musical ideas as well. Look up Glowstyx "Class of 1992". Something suspicious going on there.

 

this, and i've seen people in this forum defend it too as if it's not an outright stealing. Maybe because his version is more 'authentic UK' than Bongra's ? either way take your head out of your UK hardcore nostalgia ass and recognize this dude ripped it off.
