Previews online. http://www.hyperdub.net/releases/view/207/HDB069

From the previews I think I like Kindred more, but I'll see. Both tracks are super long.

You remind me of Mark Anthony. That's not a diss of any kind at all. There's something eerily similar - maybe it's the type of music you both endorse.

I don't make that many threads.

mmmmm, well it's definitely Burial.

liking them both

i've never listened to burial before so i was very intrigued mostly because i see the name bandied around so much. tbh i'm not to impressed with the the first track, and the second sounds like moby when he was trying to a black man.


i just thought his/her music was totally different, just not for me.

To be fair, these tracks aren't really like what he got famous for.



From his first record. Pure dark pirate garage rollage, although some of these tracks were made in the early 2000's the release alligned nicely with the first boom of dubstep (2006)



From his second record, which is a lot more popular, probably because it's not as dark and more melancholic. Pretty much spawned a whole genre of copycapts but no one comes close.

Kindred is probably one of my favourite EPs of the year, so I just bought and downloaded these now and am waiting for Aes Dana's "Pollen" to end.

Untrue was one of those perfect storm releases, coming out when folks were desperate for something new and different from electronic music, but universally appealing all the same. It had a similar impact that Boards Of Canada's Music Has The Right To Children did.

Hmm... I'm not sure if I'm a fan of this release. I like some parts of Truant, and some parts of Rough Sleeper, but there are some parts that just don't click for me

I was hoping for something darker though, so hopefully the album will fill that

I like how Burial finally chose to make a couple tracks that exude a grainy, rainy day wrapped in lukewarm melancholy. Replete with vocals that are altered from their original pitch, some higher, some lower, all barely intelligible. This feels new. Refreshing.

Yes, the inevitable Burial issue of not really altering the formula seven years on crops up again. I like the slight shift in rhythm and tempo he has adopted in recent times, but is that enough to reinvigorate the formula? He needs to start diversifying his sampling. The snatches of string on Rough Sleeper are a move in the right direction, but compared to the dense and intricate sample collages of certain others who make similarly moody bass-offshoots, it's starting to look notably one-dimensional.
