By the way, I don't know if you heard this, but at 25 minute soundcloud.com/radufp/burial-new-unreleased-tracks there's a good example, that it could actually work. Should drop that out, sounds good despite of the shit quality.
I think when making music at a confort and wisdom level you actually dont usually "want to make tunes with that kind of" ideas, you just make a way to dump what's into your mind to the music you are making. Or at least that's what I think for my personal experience I guess.
You damn goons. Burial is a mastermind. Do you think anybody (aside from a few genuine jingle connoisseurs) would have given a shit about this track? Dont get me wrong, I personally love it, but no, it would have just been another "underground/indie/flat" tune lost in the digital dust bins of our day and age. Burial, being the mastermind, garage, sound theory king that he is, had to make a name for himself before attempting to reinvent jungle/garage music. Which he did. And now, aside from this [Probably 5-10 year old unreleased] track being an INSTANT legend, not only is he reinventing the 'old school', he has created, and is simultaneously recreating the future garage.
you can be right, but i sincerely don't care at all; i listen to thousands '"underground/indie/flat" tunes lost in the digital dust', so if one of those is of the famous Burial or not, it still sounds good to me if i like it
This sounds like the classic 90s German Trance sound (Eue-Q, Harthouse etc.). It has that futuristic-cyberpunk-like "Bladerunner-ish" arpeggiated sound that made the genre famous.
MarioThaMonkey Again, you're just stating your opinion! You can say that, but it doesn't make it true. The guy's obviously moving on into new material, and has to experiment to get there. It's nice to hear something different from him, but to say he basically can't improve beyond this is just a bit silly - of course he can!
Who's to say he has to "improve" "beyond" this? Burial makes music for himself - and not to fit into your narrow-minded assumptions of what you think his stylistic progressions should be. Lots of people are enjoying where Will has taking his sound these last few years, myself very much included. If you're not one of us, do us all a favor and shut the hell up. Burial does what he wants. Respect him for that.
mnchls dude, if you're happy then good for you. If, in your opinion, he can "..do no wrong..." then good for you. I'm entitled to an opinion too (obviously!) - and if he's making music that people have been buying, then surely we have the right to say what we think about them? Surely that's what we're all doing on the YT comments page. I just happen to think he's shown that he's done better before, and he can therefore do better again. If you settle for this, then who am I to argue with you? I like most of Burial's music, but I'm not going to suck his dick like some people around here.
Lot of people here who don't 'get it', really. I like it and it's in fitting with the Burial ethos if not the sound he's known for, and that is trying to replicate the vibe of the UK underground. For me this sounds like a summary of the last 20 years of UK dance culture. May be a bit on the nose with the last few mins which sounds like someone scanning the pirates, but I still appreciate it. Might be a bit of a switch for some but for me it sounds exactly what a Burial release on Keysound would sound like.
spot on mate, Burial is all about capturing the unspoken vibe of UK urban life, so that his tracks, albums and discog are essentially a soundscape of the space which he exists in, scenery, architecture, culture, people - all inclusive. So I fully agree my friend, that this track is just as 'Burial' as Ghost Hardware or Ashtray Wasp etc etc.
+Bellwhacker Imagine a burial LP that crossed over and mixed the soundscape ambient stuff, garage stuff and this dance type stuff... it would be the greatest album of all time
The artist is anonymous. It's the only release on a sub-label of Production House Records, released in 1991. YT won't let me post links, but here's the track: watch?v=lyLZmds4QWo
Very reminiscent of the electronic music of the 90s, as much as it isn't the Burial I have grown too, it sounds leaps and bounds better than a lot of current dance music. I definitely respect other people may not enjoy this, it hasn't got the dark, melancholic edge of any track on untrue or street halo.
this got me thinking - imagine if Burial was allowed to remix Prodigy's The Gilted Generation!! What a project!! Anyone heard any Burial news in 2020??
From 4:09 it's having the late eighties swingbeat sound. I like it, that old sounds of the beginning of the house era having a great influence in the new tracks nowadays
Still can't get over this guys been making and releasing music since 2006 and I didn't discover it until 2015. Now I'm borderline obsessed by everything he's ever put out. Not to mention the unreleased stuff, I feel like whole wars could be fought over whether Feral Witchchild or True Love VIP is the better tune. Amazing.
94`. In the catacombs 20 m under the Omen dancefloor. In the morning at 7:00. Water drips from the ceiling. The corridor is filled with smoke from the smoke machine. Somebody lie on the ground. A rat sniffs at his feet. Bites a toe off and strolls away.
I think there's a place in Burial's work for more fun, fast tracks like this and Rival Dealer, although his bigger, soundscape-type work on his last 3 EP's are much better in my opinion. I still love this track, and I could go for more of this.
