The reclusive British beat renegade is back. With Love is, like his 2010 sophomore album Dedication, dub step but not as you know it. Because this is a journey into the historical recesses of electronic dance music of all kinds.
There's the the galactic and stealth jungle of It's Time and the hard-out drum'n'bass lather of Overdose through to the mesmerising ambient simmer of How To Ascend and the delicate beauty of Sunshine In November, which is like Zomby doing Robert Miles or William Orbit.
He's also taken the scale of his music vision to far greater extremes with this 33-track epic, across two volumes, made up of not so much songs as vignettes stitched together to make one big long song that clocks in at around 78 minutes.
At times it's mind-warping stuff, with the nagging and incessant ragga rave of VI-XI and foreboding experimentalism of Digital Smoke, but then it's enchanting, on the bass-driven, slow-mo house music of spooky highlight Isis and the easy-on-the-ear splendour of Glass Ocean.
The length of the album alone makes it a challenge, but with so much to explore it's well worth sitting on the couch with your headphones on and scaring yourself a little silly with some of the sonic frequencies this crafty devil conjures up.
