Vinyl and CD have now both been repressed and available everywhere.
Two years in the making and carefully sculpted and selected from 60 tracks: Inside Nomine is out now on Tempa Records and I am very happy and proud for it to be unleashed... Big thanks to AMIT Youngsta and Rinse FM for the support and opportunity. A MASSIVE thanks to you ladies, gentlemen for the overwhelming support too - without it the Nomine project would not exist. Enough of the Oscar speech - MUCH LOVE X
Reviews:
Juno Vinyl - "One of Tempa's most consistent and exciting artists to join the label roster in recent years, Nomine's fusions defy categorisation. We've watched his murky world unravel over the course of EPs... But nothing could compare us for the complex web he's weaved on his debut album. The off-beat percussive textured groove of "84600", the pitched drum riff on "Stickman" and the slinky-but-snakelike rhythm on "Menacer" are just three of the eight delights on offer here. Tempa are having a fine year and Inside Nomine may be their crowning glory of 2015."
Juno CD - "Having built his reputation via a swathe of heavy, soundsystem-abusing 12" singles, self-styled "enigmatic producer" Nomine switches focus for this much anticipated debut album. Altogether deeper and more imaginative than his -admittedly brilliant - singles, Inside Nomine makes great use of the album format, delivering a slowly evolving set of tracks that blends dubstep essentials - heavy bass, punishing rhythms, paranoid and spooky textures - with African-influenced percussion, hazy vocals, bubbling electronics and plenty of strange spoken word vocal samples. As a result, it's an impressive set that marks Nomine out as one of dubstep's greatest contemporary talents.
Juno Download - "Take a trip inside the dark, shadowy mind of Tempa troublemaker Nomine. With two years of solid grooves behind him, Inside is a much deeper, investigative trip that comprises unpredictable tribal wonk ("84600"), spacious slug-bass wrigglers ("Hide & Seek") and restrained, haunted barbed soul ("Shockwaves"). For a key highlight that really sums up Nomine's complexity, though, jump on the philosophical timpani headbender 'Nomine's Ego'. Truly one of a kind, this is a statement as much as it is a debut album."
Bleep all formats - "Making good on a promising run of murky, spaced-out singles for Tempa, Nomine turns in this effective, pared-down debut. As the opening vocal samples and dubbed-up instrumental of Blind Man demonstrates, the essential elements of dubstep are at the fore here. Lomine plays with a palette of deep bass throbs, blissed-out melodies and ethereal atmospherics to create a dubstep-rooted LP that effortlessly transcends the genre tag. Learning from forefathers like Mala and even some of the Hyperdub camp, Inside Nomine is – as the title suggests – a complete body of work, exploring and presenting this producer’s sonic standpoint."
