Oris Jay's "Brand Nu Flava" had a similar sick-with-love vibe. (sigh) so many of those producers went crap!

Also: check this out: Burial's remix of Jamie Woon's Wayfaring Stranger (fourth track here: http://www.myspace.com/jamiewoon ) - out at the end of this month on Live Recordings (has been played by Mary Anne Hobbs on Radio 1 a couple of times already, it seems).

Hype hype hype and then it turns out to be fantastic!
I had no idea. I could play Broken Home on repeat for hours... I really should have been paying more attention to this whole dubstep thing, but then there's only so much hours in the day and essays have to be handed in and I only get so much time off work and...

Still despite the fact that Death In June have nothing at all to do with the Burial this thread is dedicated to, I still stand by the album and look forward to the rumoured next Burial album due this year.

this track is up on Hype Machine now. it's been on repeat for hours. get it asap.

Burial sounds like an instrumental version of Tricky's 3rd album.

although I have, jed is closet to my feelings about 'Burial' overall.

There's another picture in the magazine, he's all shadowy and you can make out that he's wearing a beanie and has long curly hair (somewhat unsurprisingly).

"I've only listened to it twice in full, but I think the album as a whole doesn't quite live up to its best tracks - i wish the whole thing had abandoned virtual-reality-divas moaning in anguish all over it, but it's only a couple of times and very fleeting!
-- Tim Finney (Tim Finney)"
so i'm guessing you loved the new one? i cant remember if you were posting in that thread or not.
― pipecock, Sunday, 16 December 2007 20:51 (sixteen years ago) link
New Burial album. More info?
― curmudgeon, Sunday, 16 December 2007 20:53 (sixteen years ago) link
so yes, is he the same as "Tim F"? that's what i was confused about. and since "Tim F" seemed to not like the new one, yet it is almost exactly what "Tim Finney" said he wanted the first Burial album to be, it isnt immediately obvious. one thing i dont like about ILM is that there is no real user profile, people can change their names and whatnot too easily. very annoying.
― pipecock, Sunday, 16 December 2007 21:01 (sixteen years ago) link
Thanks!

You can't change your name.
― jim, Monday, 17 December 2007 00:26 (sixteen years ago) link
Go ahead and try.
Without starting a new account.
Yeah, but you used to be able to and people did all the time (although Tim's names are pretty easy to decode.) I do find it hard to keep track of who someone is now in nu-ILX world.
― Alex in SF, Monday, 17 December 2007 00:31 (sixteen years ago) link
I was trying to be all superpedantic like pipecock with his "Tim Finney used to say he would like something like the new Burial album but he doesn't like the new Burial album! OMG!!!11!1!" but I suppose it didn't translate.
― jim, Monday, 17 December 2007 00:36 (sixteen years ago) link
Notice myself saying that this was utter shit upthread and I ended up buying it and thinking it was one of the best albums of last year. Things change.
― jim, Monday, 17 December 2007 00:40 (sixteen years ago) link
(xpost)Haha well I won't dispute that pipecock is a moron whatever his user name is.

The Burial remix of Thom Yorke's "And It Rained All Night" is lazier than most Burial things I've heard. I'll probably end up praising it in a few days, knowing how I warm to things, but it really seems more like existing beats grafted under a vocal. Not nearly as good as the Bloc Party mix.
― mh, Monday, 17 December 2007 01:27 (sixteen years ago) link
no it's definitely rubbish. every burial staple sound thrown underneath yorke's vocal. horrible.
― resolved, Monday, 17 December 2007 01:29 (sixteen years ago) link
and what an awkward beat, even for him

I like the new Burial album quite a lot. If you have a look at the other Burial thread I actually don't really talk about the album quality so much as the dodgy rhetoric people feel compelled to use when discussing him.
Burial seems to be one of those artists for whom one is not allowed to express even a vaguely equivocal position. I gave the first Burial album an 8.1 or something like that for Pitchfork and got more hatemail than for any other review complaining that I was too stupid to recognise a good record when I heard it.
Having said all this Pipecock is correct that in theory I should absolutely adore the second album given he effectively (if unwittingly) followed the advice I gave in my review. Instead I only like it quite a lot, about as much as the first album. I've wondered about this myself.
I suspect that the familiarity with his approach has meant that it's been less precious to me than it would have been had it been released as his first album. My gut reaction is that nothing on Untrue is as good as "You Hurt Me", which provides its blueprint, but it might be more correct to say that after "You Hurt Me" it's harder to be surprised. If anything I've not even given the album the chance to grow on me properly - I've just not been compelled to pull it out that much.
― Tim F, Monday, 17 December 2007 01:50 (sixteen years ago) link
I think both albums have the same flaw actually which is that they have four or so amazing tracks and a bunch of pretty forgettable ones.
― Alex in SF, Monday, 17 December 2007 02:34 (sixteen years ago) link
I disagree with Tim though. I think the best tracks on Untrue ("Etched Headplate", "Archangel", "Raver") are better than anything on the first record.
― Alex in SF, Monday, 17 December 2007 02:35 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, I think Untrue is a major step up, in almost every way, for Burial. Still, my favorite of his songs is Unite, from the Soul Jazz comp Box of Dub, Vol. I.
U Hurt Me is v. good, tho.

Tim's point about the rhetoric around Burial ties in with my belief that Burial is the kind of goth it's 'okay' to like. "It's dark and spooky and I don't have to admit to liking somebody in bondage gear and ambisexual makeup!"
