Producer William Orbit has slammed Damon Albarn and the rest of Blur for their conduct during a disastrous recording session in 2012.

Talking to NME, Orbit said "Put it this way, I’m not going to work with them again – Damon was really awful. That’s all I’ll say". The sessions turned sour, with reports of feuds in the studio and a serious clash of personalities. They were suddenly halted by Albarn after only a few weeks.

Turning to the issue of the outstanding money, Orbit hints that other producers may have had similar problems in the past, saying "I didn’t get paid! But, you know, I’m not the first."

It's a shame that things went so badly as Orbit seemed genuinely upbeat at the start of the project. He tweeted "I just found out that she [Diawara] has done tracks with Damon A, who I’m in the studio with from Wednesday!"
