Burial interview @ Blackdown/Burial album
- Thread starter tryptych
- Start date
yeah, I just ordered from boomkat, and I'm going to wait it out... unfortunately, I'm graduating from school (in providence RI), and I'm going to be leaving my current apartment soon, so I'll probably have to send it over to my parents' place (in toronto), which means I'll have to wait longer!

exactly !!! easy enough to fake, hard to be being convincing...
...sorry but from what I've heard he hasn't done anything new, just reinterpreted it. Can't say there is anything extraordinary about it cos when it comes right down to the nitty gritty, we're all pretty ordinary
except for maybe Tipper who I think is an alien...
...time will be the measure of this album. I've heard heaps of stuff going way back that immediately grabbed me but after a few listens, a bit of deconstruction and reverse engineering it doesn't stand up too well, and then I've heard stuff, dismissed it totally but kept listening to the point where it grows on you and each listen brings something new to the fore
I do hope this album is in the former category...
all this specualtion on identity is just a fun way to pass the time but if it turns out (s)he is a well known alias, won't you all be disappoitned ???
It's like many of you want this person to be anonymous and reticent so it colours your perception of the music. Me I just take it at face value...
...looking forward to comparisons to boxcutters album, D1's forthcoming on Mu and toasty if and when he gets his label and album sorted

...that is some truly inspirational stuff. Woulda settled for a 128 bit mix even
and yes comparisons to Burial are quite valid in this context...

Yeah, me too. But in the meantime, Kode 9's Dubstep Allstars mix is tiding me over quite nicely. Recommended, if you don't know it.

Yeah, it is kind of weird, not to mention entirely unhelpful.gek-opel said:
As regards Burial, the most obvious parallels for me are probably Luomo, Lusine and (particularly) Rhythm and Sound, although the music feels too geographically rooted to be really similar to any of them. Arguing about who he (do we even know it's a 'he', come to think of it) 'really is' is mostly fun because it's so pointless - I'm quite happy to believe that he is a complete newcomer, but if he is then he's got a seriously interesting creative mind - being simultaneously so close to and so distant from the music that he's inspired by is astounding.

Not quite seeing R&S, but luomo/delay is definitly very similar in production technique at times. Delay has also been producing 2 step garage, though how much of this has been released i don't know. last time i heard him DJ, he dropped some of his own garage tunes. great stuff.

of course they are - that scratchy ghostlike sound is a staple of nineties dance music - no matter how much people would have you believe that dubstep is a year zero which renders everything that came before redundant. alongside the fsol stuff i could pull out 20 records off the top of my head using this production technique. the only way it would sound completely new is if you'd spent the entire last decade holed up listening to the cure instead of raving it up everywhere.
thats not to say burial isn't a fantastic album cos it is, contender for lp of the year i reckon - but its a consolidation rather than a revolution, at least in the wider scheme of things and not just the scene.
