New Burial album. More info?

US heads care less about genre, true

i think all the genres actually keep me from checking more stuff out, it's too confusing and i always feel lame for not knowing what all the nomenclature means, so i just don't even bother. it's the same reason i never bought a fall record for years, there were too many and they all had weird names and artwork and it was too imposing.

It's that wya on purpose. It's much easier if you classify everthying as house music.

Beethoven is house?

oh definitely

if this is your house then yes

I've made a seven track edit which is much more listenable than the whole album:

1. Archangel
2. Near Dark
3. Endorphin
4. Etched Headplate
5. Shell of Light
6. UK
7. Raver

still think this is quite overrated. would rather listen to say the ukg remix of roy davis jnrs gabriel for haunting garage elegies.

nice to have something not so christianized tho

first album was rightly praised to the skies. this one though, just seems like partly half hearted retread of the first one, unsuccessfully trying to take it somewhere new, and trying to make 'proper' garage but not really making the transition complete and just sitting awkwardly in between. i found the vocals in particular really pretty bad.

for mary anne hobbs' radio one radio show, the label boss (Kode 9?) did a 15 minute mega mix of the album as a preview.

that might be a bit easier to digest if you dont like the whole album.

a search on teh interwebs usually finds the file.

this album is streets ahead of everything else I've listened to recently.

Unfortunately those streets are around Elephant and Castle.

i definitely prefer the first album

this one though, just seems like partly half hearted retread of the first one

it's certainly more of the same, but how is it half-hearted? are there any 'full-hearted' retreads made one year after the first?

unsuccessfully trying to take it somewhere new, and trying to make 'proper' garage

i don't think hear any attempt to make 'proper garage' here - over-reliance on that jingling clp-clop 2 step beat maybe, but the tracks that work best with this are as good as the similar ones on the first LP (if only by sounding and being structured so similarly)

i found the vocals in particular really pretty bad.

what is the difference between the vocals on Untrue and those on tracks like 'Distant Lights' and 'U Hurt Me'. nothing of note from what i can tell.

More Todd Edwards.

This album frustrates me because it's so close to something I would love. The vocals kill it for me, though. If they were just a bit less prominent in the mix, maybe with decreased volume, more "dubby" fx, and triggered less often, it would have been classic. I also wish there were more quiet interludes like the song about 3/4 of the way through (the name escapes me).

"If they were just a bit less prominent in the mix, maybe with decreased volume, more "dubby" fx, and triggered less often, it would have been classic"

OTM

the vocals are awesome, you guys smoke rocks.

Pipecock otm, but then again dude's first album puts me to sleep, so I'm very glad he changed directions.

ive listened to this about 3 times. will have another go but i have to say, burial works much better for me one track at a time (in the context of a dj mix for example). an album of that shit is just too much for me.

Finally gave Untrue a try (the previous one didn't really click with me and this thread put me off a bit) and fuck all the haters this is ten times better than Burial. Especially because it is so 'samey' and monolithic (which seems to be the main criticism against it).

"It's a fairly common US thing to class all electronic music as 'techno', I've noticed."

We're provincial that way.

The vocals are the BEST PART. The beats are fairly pedestrian 2-steppy clanks, that circulate on repeat across a number of tracks, like some broken machine flailing in vain.

The general atmosphere on the first one is way more diverse and compelling, which leaves the vox on the second being the only aspect that fascinates me.

The vox were overdone: Too high in the mix, and triggered too often. The drums are bad on this album, too, though. Maybe I just don't like it!

Unconfirmed DJ Kicks mix tracklist (original release date June 23rd, now sometime in July) - note: I have no idea how legit this is

Teebee - daywalker (burial remix)
Amon Tobin - slowly
A Guy Called Gerald - flawless
Brian Eno - music for harry
Burial - stairwell
Burial - etched headplate (burial remix)
Bong Ra - @!#$ all
Future sound of London - dead cities (burial remix)
dj FOOD - the crow (burial remix)
A Tribe called quest - problems
Fanu - for those that dream
Breakage - clarendon
Stranjah - g riddim
Todd Edwards - holy
Esthero - swallow
Mary j Blige - lift it up (burial remix)
Kraftwerk - Autobhan
Anthony Rother - destroy him my robots
Masters at work - NY soul
Luke Slater - jackhammer funk
Future sound of London - papa new guinea (burial remix)

That kind of strikes me as not being at all legit. But I have a tendency for being wrong.

^^ this one is WAY better

OTM

I actually prefer the one with Eno, Kraftwerk, Rother, a Tribe Called Quest, Mary J Blige, Amon Tobin, etc. etc.

eno, kraftwerk, rother? pffft alright apparently you just have a thing for bald white dudes.

8=======D ~~~ ~

Marius J. Blige, exposed!

the burial tracklist would have to be just all old rave and hardcore. with some old school DnB in it.

was just reading an old interview with him in the wire, and thats pretty much how he rolls.

http://www.thewire.co.uk/articles/347/

here'tis

If it is the real deal then it's great that Stairwell is finally seeing the light of day. That one tune stamps on most of his last album. Would be cool to have this on unmixed vinyl.

It is fake.

aha! So there's a real one somewhere, then?

Teebee - daywalker (burial remix)

Ooooh I neeeed to hear this. Badly.

aha! So there's a real one somewhere, then?
Alas no, but Kode 9 posted the concise but fairly unambiguous answer "NO" when it was posted on the dubstepforum.

I want to hear his FSOL remixes.

maybe it was "nooooooooooooooooooo" as in "noooooooooooooooooooooo, i cant believe the tracklisting leaked"

xpost

Kode Vader.

... and round 3 begins.

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2010/03/digging-burial-kode9-reveals-brandnew-burial-at-brainfeeder-sessions.html

listening to kode9 dj right now on the brainfeeder live stream thing and he's playing straight '90s drum & bass :)

anyone know anything more about this project:

BURIAL vs MASSIVE ATTACK
TBA [HELIGOLAND REMIXED]
(VIRGIN, expected Summer)

It's no secret that Burial has been commissioned to remix Massive Attack's recent Heligoland LP in full. If the project is completed on schedule, it should be out in time for 2011's post-summer comedown.

it was a secret to me, at least.

heard about it long ago. will never happen. where is the dj kicks?

in a couple of hours... ?

woah!

no way

I'm guessing this is a few tracks remixed or a collaboration. If this is actually that remix album idea made real, I'll eat my hat.

(gets out salt and pepper)
