Everything I've read indicates it's really lazy.

Yes. Definitely. Positively.

I have a photo of Burial and his girlfriend - I've even come up with the perfect lolcat caption with which to leak it to the internet. Unfortunately he doesn't have long curly hair so I think I've been played.

the thom yorke remix is easily burial's worst remix/track yet. the excellent modeselektor and various remixes more than make up for the weak burial effort.
― brotherlovesdub, Tuesday, 18 December 2007 18:16 (sixteen years ago) link
to be honest i havent felt his remixes at all and im a huge fan of his original productions.

are the soul jazz compilations (featuring burial) any good?
― djh, Thursday, 24 January 2008 14:21 (sixteen years ago) link
They're okay. The Burial track on the first one is quite good and there are a few other good tracks on each one. A lot of it tends more towards digi-dub than dubstep (which can be good depending on your POV), but either way is sadly rather boring.

I'm still wrapping my brain around "Untrue" - and I mean that in the best way possible. It's like someone murdered a 2-step mix disc: here is its ghost back to haunt you with its unsettling familiarity.
I love listening to individual tracks, but I find the whole thing way too melancholy to process in one sitting.
― Tantrum The Cat, Thursday, 24 January 2008 15:10 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, I feel the same way. If I try to listen to it through, by like track five I'm thinking "Oh christ, more dirty bass noises and minimal shuffling beats. Oh, and here come the spectral vocals". Then when a track from the second half of the album comes up on shuffle and I really enjoy it. I'm still not feeling the beat-less tunes though, don't know under what circumstances I'd be in the mood to listen to one.

You could start with his obv influences: Omni Trio, Foul Play, Todd Edwards, El-B/Ghost, etc. . .

If you like any music produced anywhere I recommend Rhythm & Sound.

This is one of the strangest records I have heard in quite awhile. I am unsure at who this is aimed at. The dancefloor?
The nearest I can come up with is that it works quite nicely as a soundtrack to the late night stoner set.
― kwhitehead, Tuesday, 4 March 2008 18:18 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, it's late night bedroom music. Definately a cerebral album. Also if you listen to it on headphones walking the streets after dark you feel like you're in a film.

Well, it's certainly not aimed at trip-hop fans because it's, um, not trip-hop.
― Kevin John Bozelka, Tuesday, 4 March 2008 20:47 (sixteen years ago) link
There are still trip-hop fans?
― Alex in SF, Tuesday, 4 March 2008 21:09 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, but for me, it works best when you're walking the streets after dark and -- this is the key -- it's cold. I love the new Burial disc, but I can't listen to it unless the nighttime temperature dips into the 60s (remember, I live in balmy, humid South Florida).
― Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 4 March 2008 21:14 (sixteen years ago) link
Anyone who likes Burial apparently because according to deej, Burial is trip-hop.
― Kevin John Bozelka, Tuesday, 4 March 2008 21:17 (sixteen years ago) link
Heh, I live in North London, pretty different. Helps if you've got a bit of run down Victorian architecture about as well.

Well I liked it pretty much straight away, but I fulfil all the criteria for liking it - it's basically partially about my city, and partially about recontextualising UK dance music, which I'm very interested in.
― chap, Tuesday, 4 March 2008 21:30 (sixteen years ago) link
I can see the resemblance.
― o. nate, Tuesday, 4 March 2008 21:32 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah I don't think that's a controversial comparison at all. But I wouldn't call most fans of Burial trip-hop "fans" unless they are suddenly busting out Headz II or something.
― Alex in SF, Tuesday, 4 March 2008 21:34 (sixteen years ago) link
I like the new one in small doses, but it annoys me as a whole. Should have been an EP.

Oh come ON. It's great, it really does sound like human burial. In frozen ground. It scares the piss out of people I don't like.

still dont really like the 2nd one anywhere near as the debut. the vocals on there dont really reach the 'deep' vibe theyre going for. they just sound a bit ropey.
