Am I alone in thinking the S/T album is both better and "more important" than Untrue? I get that Untrue is Burial in sui generis mode and was an important crossover moment which set the template for so many subsequent producers (not to mention legions of imitators), where the first album is more "Burial does dubstep", but to me the impact of the latter felt so much bigger.

we need a "Burial vocal samples" poll some day

trying to figure out / remember where the "take me to the dream world" sample is from on the new one

is "loverboy" / "all night long" a concatenation of mariah carey?!?

yes, i was just going to say that with respect

Burial has released some great music but none of it since the albums

is definitely not correct

You mean Paradise Circus? I’ve only heard the Gui boratto remix and I love it haven’t heard the burial one.

Young Death is one of my favourite Burials.

Moka, yeah "Paradise Circus". Burial's mix is pretty sublime, like an aural tranquilizer.

His two new tracks are some of my favorite things he's done period.

It's way too much to expect someone to change the face of their genre with every release, just because it happened once (or twice!!) before.

two years pass...

I think my answer to the imaginary new poll in my head would be Come Down to Us. I think it's the most complete expression of one aspect of his aesthetic - the sentimental - and find it painfully affecting at times.

That would be a fun poll; you should do it. I'd probably vote for Come Down to Us too, but Stolen Dog destroys me almost as much.

"Come Down To Us' is second only to "Rival Dealer" as my absolute favorite Burial track
