Burial: 'I was worrying, I’d made all these dark tunes, and I played ‘em to my mum, and she didn’t like them. I was going to give up, but she was sweet, telling me, ‘just do a tune, fuck everyone off, don’t worry about it.’ My dog died, and I was totally gutted about that. She was just like, ‘make a tune, cheer up, stay up late, make a cup of tea’. And I rang her mobile twenty minutes later and I’d made that ‘Archangel’ tune, and I was like, ‘I’ve made the tune, the tune you told me to make.’ And I heard this vocal and it doesn't say it but it sounds like 'archangel'.
***** could it be a noun? tell me how to noun, kissing the noun, tell me how to noun...this is all i hear from this track. (but i love it and replay it till i start to hate it)
PlayTilliDie I always thought it said Holding you (couldn't be alone, couldn't be alone, couldn't be alone) Loving you (couldn't be alone, couldn't be alone, couldn't be alone) Kissing you ...Tell me (archangel) Tell me (archangel) Tell me (archangel) xxx
"Sometimes I’d be hearing a song … I was worrying, I’d made all these dark tunes, and I played ‘em to my mum, and she didn’t like them. I was going to give up, but she was sweet, telling me, ‘just do a tune, fuck everyone off, don’t worry about it.’ My dog died, and I was totally gutted about that.

Listen to this song and try to imagine this. It was 2007 when this song came out. Burial was still unknown and future-garage wasn't even a thing. No one in the past tried to sound like this, and then one day you heard this song. BAMMM it was like a blast. Like "wtf is this? i love it!". And so Burial was born ;D
AJ Sorenson funny, I discovered Burial in 2007 just casually browsing through iTunes (I know, so underground) and Archangel was the only song I didn't like...At the time I had no appreciation for the drums but after listening to Untrue over & over I grew to love it.
Yes, futurestep including futuregarage was very much a thing. There was Submerse, Snykro,Phaeleh. People in the scene called it a "post-dubstep world. That's why snobby people say dubstep died in 2007 or around there.
The more a listener’s mind is free from categories and classification, the better it is in my opinion. Classifying music by genre builds walls between people, the ones who allegedly know what genre it is and the ones who don’t. - Uppermost
well. most people forget that most genre's have styles.. metal for example. genre = metal style = black/death/heavy/trash etc you know in a certain way what to expect and with the styling you know for full what you can expect.. and being free from genre's is oke. but if you know the genre and the style you could find alot more music that you would like :) (if you are on the neverending quest for epic songs like me)
I totally agree and I hate when people ask me "What kind of music do you listen to?" because the only answers I can give them is "a little bit of everything" or "anything that sounds good really". That was deep (to me) and on point. Respect.
you know what is 100% true about burial? i have only ever met people who love him, or people who haven't heard of him not once has someone said to me 'oh yeah i know burial, his musics sh*t' nothing but love for that
People! As much as I love this song, I also love three remixes of it and I strongly recommend you check them out. They are Burial - Archangel (Uppermost Rework Remix) Burial - Archangel (Kasbo Remix) Burial - Archangel (Mt Eden Remix) I provided whole titles for your convenience in copying and pasting. Each remix is kinda different, all of them are special to me, including the original. I approve this message.
nothing better than listening to this early in the morning after a whole night parth,it is just being in another world feeling everything is at the right place
some people are trying to name the genre i guess, but i heard this song on a playlist called "on a cold clear night" and i think its more fun to put a mood to the music :) love this song
I'm sure most people already knows this, but if you're one of those who don't, the vocal samples come from Ray J - One Wish (maybe you'd like to see how different it is)
tbh the whole album is dark, not a single smile comes to my face while listening to it. but somehow i wish i could go back to 2012 when i heavily listened to this album and Truant on repeat on the bus through the afternoon and the night. good times.
oh guys please shut up with giving music labels and names ! this was like YEARS ago...and genres change their names ! for my 40 years of life i have seen stuff come and go, but good music is timeless...like the burial ! you must be all pretty young heaving discussions like this...start listening to what was before your time, be open to everything as i was and always will be ! music is music...and that is my passion ! that it as a good advice from someone who truly is a (good!!!) music lover !
The point of cataloguing music is just to make it easier to find similar stuff, and there's really no harm in that. People using genre names as some sort of quality indicator, however, annoy me too.
Rymdprofeten but of course you are right and i agree with that ! however, i don't know if you have noticed, but the names of genres and the genres itself change very fast, ever more so "lately"...am talking as someone who started listening to "electronics" from its very start...these people are usually very young and instead of giving music names...they rather should concentrate on the essence and that would be: if something is good music !! and always look further, explore, be open...there is so much of good music out there...as much as there is bad music :) all u need is to truly love it...the passion will guide you and once you have followed for 10-20 etc years...it all will look different. i did not mean anything negative and i sure hope that you did not understand it that way ;)
art bell It's garage. Just look it up instead of making assumptions based on what makes the most sense in your head. He has dubstep songs, but his main genre is garage. Burial - Wounder is dubstep. This track is garage.
People calling this dubstep are prooably not from the UK. As garage originated in the UK and this is pretty much garage with dark ambient, trip hop and pitch shifted vocal samples and dub techno elements. Any UK listener would recognise the UK genre influence of this song. Its closer to drum and bass, 2 step garage and grime than it is to dubstep.
I'm British and I've only ever heard "dubsteb" used in an ironic way. I have nothing against it, but the name seems to have become meaningless. What kind of music is Burial? "Good music", that's how I would describe it.
You pretty much just gave the definition of dubstep. It's a mix of UK garage and dub. It started out as a mix of those elements by El-B and progressed, dubstep is mostly time specific to artists making music in the range of those genres.
