Yeah, burial is amazing. It just shows that piles of gear, plug ins, ettc mean nothing. It's all about good ideas. What's funny is, I can't take dubstep. Skream is terrible to me. But burial by far transcends genres. I hevn't been this excited/inspired by music since Boards of Canada's Music Has the Right to Children.

I bought the Untrue album yesterday. It is haunting but it's a little bit of a one trick pony tbh. It does possess some of that melancholic charm that early Aphex had though, which is good.

And people don't really buy the Soundforge hype do they?

ive listened to Untrue quite a few times now & i have to say im not as impressed as i thought I was, definitely dont think its as strong as his previous album. I thought it would grow on me but i still think its just alright. There's parts where there are serious key/note clashes & one or two of the vocals are just annoying rather thna good. I still like it though & there are some blinders on there but its not as strong as I was hoping for.

sadly the best song he's done in ages, possibly ever, (Unite, listen on his myspace) isnt on the album

Wow, that's funny, unite I didn't really like. Aparently, that was his stab at using logic in a "real" stidio setting. His swing is missing. To me thats what it is. The hand edited beats. Can't really be done by sequencing. I still subconsciously quantize too much. And using built in swing is nothing like it. I'll admit, I'm not used untrue yet, but he's still way out there from anything else.

Thanks for everyone who posted in this thread and the other mentions of Burial on this forum. I have to say I'd never heard his stuff before and it's all I've been listening to for the last week.

For me this is some seriously good stuff, I don't know what it is but it really really moves me. Best new stuff I've listened too in a long time. I'm sitting here working on a poster listening to untrue and "Shell of light" comes on, I say to myself, out loud, "Fuck Yeaaahh...." -- up with the volume.

ahhhh.... I just really really like this. It's new but it's somehow nostalgic. It's sad but it makes me feel warm and comfortable.

isnt it great that even us music creators still cant quite define whats good about a song or artisit, it just somehow feels right. awesome.

Picked it up a few weeks back and diggin a lot. I love the pitch shifty stuff he does with the vox, and the gritty atmospheric sounds are delicious.

Yeh Burial is deep

Really modest guy aswell. Did you know he produces just with Sound Forge. At least his first album was. Nuts! Think he uses Logic a bit now ...

Still rate his 1st e.p. on Hyperdub as his best released work - "South London Boroughs" is the shit.
