I know the place - used to be a spot I frequented often when I first moved to London.
"The other night" I was on the DLR from Canning Town to Woolwich. Pretty perfect also.

I can't wait to get the vinyl of this to see how it is HMMsupposedHMM to sound. I like it enough at the moment but the bass on my earphones is lacking - esp. in the first minutes of the first track.

Kindred the track is kind of catchy for an 11 minute ambient opus with no more than fragmented melodies.

Yeah, it's kind of like hearing a big trance anthem coming from a distant room in a haunted house you're lost in.

the trouble is people who think that the distant room/haunted house stuff is necessary for big trance anthems to be interesting

In fairness if you go clubbing in London regularly you end up doing this A LOT.
I haven't heard this record yet and don't have much interest in doing so but pretty sure there are better battle lines to pick than Campaign For Real Trance.

Trance is a genre I generally find quite uninteresting without some kind of twist. Sorry about that.

The skips and cut outs on the track 'Ashtray Wasp' are intentional.

I've only heard Kindred off of this so far. Personally find it incredible, especially turned right up on decent cans. Especially, yes, walking under overcast skies as I did on Sunday. It's long, but it's definitely set into three distinct movements. The most effective trick is that "lightning crash" that sounds like it's made up of several sounds clustered together, and the way the vocal samples seem to form around these - there's an awful lot of tension - pressure in the meteorological sense of the word.

Well that's a surprise: Four Tet has tweeted a Soundcloud link to a collaboration he did with Burial titled "Nova". The tweet also included "TEXT013," implying the song will be the 13th release on Four Tet's Text Records imprint.

60-second clips (can't listen at work). Probably hard to judge based on these, I imagine.

Bought it last night, listened to it a few times with errrr 'suitable' accompaniment...not sure what to make of it yet, feels/is more framgented than we're used to from him. Some of those fragments are lush, almost-housey in their bounce, others are Burial-by-numbers spectral washes with that chain on metal sound he loves. One of the sections samples some late 90s/early00s dance track that's super obvious but I can't quite place it for some reason.
We put on the Kindred EP straight after and I've got to admit that it made this new one sound a bit slight.

They're both fantastic. There's very few producers who can come with a similar sound every time and not get boring
― paolo, Saturday, 15 December 2012 17:11 (6 months ago) Permalink
I find "Truant" to be the stronger track. They're both messier and 'sketchier' than his previous releases (including "Ashtray Wasp"). "Rough Sleeper" has some great passages, but it's a bit of a mess as a whole, with some parts more successful than others.
But the build up and sequencing of the first eight and a half minutes of "Truant" are breathtaking... Bevan has a great sense of drama. The segment between 3:50 and 5:13 is some of the best work he's done. I might lazily describe it as Indo-Caribbean Futurism (?) that only could've come out of the UK. It easily gives Shackleton a run for his money. The track sounds a bit like an evolution of the aesthetics of "Fostercare".
A bit of a mixed bag as a whole. Still a worthy effort, though. Would love to see a proper album built on some of the ideas heard here and on Kindred.

Feels like a mini-album of many short tracks. Took a few listens to get into, but I do love this now.
― ornamental cabbage (James Morrison), Sunday, 16 December 2012 22:00 (6 months ago) Permalink
I sort of agree with that 'mini-album' comment. Each track does seem to have 2 or 3 distinct sections. The first time I listened I thought the tracks had changed but they hadn't.
― brotherlovesdub, Sunday, 16 December 2012 22:17 (6 months ago) Permalink
"Rough Sleeper" has some great passages
well that's what happened to me. one particular passage in Rough Sleeper is in loop in my head. the perfect soundtrack for the rainy saturday
― Shin Oliva Suzuki, Sunday, 16 December 2012 23:52 (6 months ago) Permalink
On first listen I think Truant sounds a lot more interesting. Most of Rough Sleeper is kind of rote.
― I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Monday, 17 December 2012 13:31 (6 months ago) Permalink
This thing's a grower.
Still not quite sure what to make of the whole organ segment of "Rough Sleeper". There's little as far as momentum to the beat and not really an ambient feel either; kind of stuck somewhere in the middle. But god do things pick up after that. The "light surrounding you" vocals and the chimes are such a welcome new direction.
And "Truant" is still a stunner.
― azaera, Monday, 7 January 2013 16:34 (5 months ago) Permalink
feels like the most refined, 'pop' thing he's done. even if it's a complex series of developing sections or movements. even if he's using a chintz-y lexicon unit to pitch his sounds. don't really consider myself a burial fan, but i've played this new one(two) endlessly. nice to have such frequent, and increasingly varied output from somebody.
