anybody listened to the burial album?


read a few things about it and had a recommendation from a friend.


def worth a listen if you fancy something a bit different....


he's been lumped in with all the dubstep stuff (some of which is pretty cool, some not my cup of earl grey) but this is something else entirely.


cackles, heaps of reverb and delay, recordings of the rain and fire slowed down, fragments of speed garagey vocals all pitched all over the place, skittering beats...not a lot of 'music'


was intrigued to find out the guy behind it, who incidentally is quite press shy; no photos, very few interviews, doesn't play live or dj etc....says he doesn't use a sequencer. it's all done it a wave editor (soundforge) the whole thing by hand.


have a listen.

yeah he got lumped in skream etc but it is a moody great atmospheric album, like listening to it at walking home from college at ten at night kinda suits the long dark walk hom through dublin, check out his bloc party remix chebbers you'll like it i reckon

Second LP called “Untrue” is amazing.

Yeah this guy it totally hot on the block right now with all the cool cats!


but seriously, yes, the Bloc Party remix is spot on and i'm just loving the atmosphere in his tracks. Also Thom Yorke is a fan so enough of an endorsement :P

@ irish


yep that bloc party remix is very tasty! very much in the vein of the album. it's def not something I'd listen to all the time but right time right place. very cool


I can def see how it'd make sense walking home at night. I actually stuck it on for the first time and thought "oooh this would be brilliant on a long train journey" - looking out of the window watching the world rush past...


think I'll put it to the test when I go home for christmas


as for the dubstep thing


the stuff I really dig is what I guess sounds like dub producers making detroit techno. bass heavy, melodic futuristic gubbins. the b-side to skreams midnight request line is a bit of fave round PBA towers.


I love that a lot of the minimal peeps, villalobos etc are playing dubstep tracks and doing remix swaps with dubstep producers. bit of cross pollunation :)

the villalobos mix of shackelton is a fave of mine,that a cross pollunation tune. the whole sub bass stuff is nice, few producers in the scene making as you say detroit techno but under a different guise.

It's very nice stuff he's doing... I was actually going to post about it but never got around to it.


personally I think the first album (last year) is a little stronger than the new one....



He put on a turn-down collar, a black bow, and wore his Sunday tail-coat. As such, he looked spruce, and what his clothes would not do, his instinct for making the most of his good looks would.

Never heard of him, just listened to Burial 'Unite' and I'm enjoying it a lot, nice one!
