-- Skrillex trying his hand at the Burial style...
Pages (4): « 1 [2] 3 4 »

I meant to ask for specific track examples.

I appreciate Burial's music. I just think it's funny the amount of praise he gets on this site, when someone like Nico Jaar gets lambasted for everything he does. I mean this guy literally makes his tracks sound like they were made 30 years ago. If you want to talk about hipsters or relentless scenesters, you want to talk about the people who think Burial is the second coming of Christ.

Old Skream was glorious.



Burial is like Basic Channel (yes, I went there). He pretty much invented a new sound all by himself and no one of the hundreds of imitators comes close. Meanwhile, Nico Jaar is "boring, watered-down trip-hop from the '90s with an Ableton twist." (thanks to Dope Jams for that blurp)

...what?

He's talking about the crackles.

his sound is old because he is still running a cracked copy of fl studio 3. (not joking)

Sounds banging on a phonograph.

Have you guys heard some of the stuff Skrillex made solo in the 2000's? It's fucking ATROCIOUS. I heard some supposed insider guy talk about how his first EP was written by a bunch of different producers, which makes sense but doesn't explain all the other shit he's done. Either that or this guy somehow upped his production level from trash to top notch within 3-4 years.

Here. FUCKING HELL. There's even worse stuff.

wtf this crap

sounds like justin bieber remixed by afrocrap

He was in a hardcore band in the early 2000s.

Ah yes, those phonographs everyone was listening to in 1983.

And what on Earth is the connection between Nico Jaar and Burial?

Nico Jaar doesn't purposely try to make his music sound "cool" by adding in vinyl-sounding crackles into it.

I know. I'm talking about the stuff he made solo after he left. It's probably worse than the band stuff.

How did you get this absurd idea into your head that Burial only adds crackles for coolness cred? You can do crackles right or wrong and he's the prime example for doing it right. His stuff probably wouldn't work without the crackles. He doesn't just add crackles after for no reason. It fits with his music.

Ahhh, ok. Yeah, I had no idea. Other than some friends having that From First to Last cd in high school, I dunno what that stuff sounds like.

So in other words, there's no connection whatsoever?

The phonograph reference was clearly hyperbole.

You should just go back to insulting me directly because you clearly suck at whatever it is you're trying to do.

The connection is that the same people who praise Burial on this site, blast Nico Jaar for no reason other than his sounding pretentious. I specifically remember his "baroque" comment regarding his upcoming EP/album. But no, when Burial makes his music sound shitty for the hipsterfags who think it's cool to have an mp3 of a song that sounds like it's being played on vinyl that's totally awesome.

I posted one. There's more on youtube. It's utterly horrible which is why it's so surprising that he suddenly pumps out trend-setting, hyper produced shit only a few laters.

Get mad.

RA ranked Nico pretty high, maybe you should go hang out over there? They aren't "hipsterfags" at all.

I'll check it out once I get home from the office, just to see. :P

Actually currently re-listening to Burial's first album for the first time in a while.

Pointing out how hypocritical you are shouldn't really be classified as anger.

Oh you kids and your crackles. Back in my day crackles weren't sampled in DAWs.
