no, burial sampled massive attack - sounds like it anyway.
but hey, it sounds wicked to me. whats wrong with massive attack? they were and are hugely influential. there was life in uk dance music before dubstep you know. the future does not require an amputation of the past to stand on its own merits.
Yeah I don't think there's anything wrong with that... at their best Massive Attack were bloody great (though now unfashionable...) and Angel was one of their decent tracks... if Burial is reminiscent of the best bits of the Bristolian gloom-merchants, who cares, providing you enjoy the sounds and rhythms themselves?
"you made a burial-explanation mixtape without any El-B?!"
Martin I would definitely have included El-B but I no longer have any non-mixed/non-vinyl El-B tracks sadly! Most of my 2-step fandom was via a mixture of mix-CDs, downloads and the ocassional piece of vinyl that found its way to Australia. Then I lost a whole heap of 2000/2001 era stuff in a harddrive meltdown a few years ago, and it's not exactly easy to track down - in fact it's been a great source of frustration for me for many years. Maybe things are different in the UK though.
I think that while Tempa is on a "Roots of Dubstep" tip they should totally license and release an album of all the Ghost tracks.

I agree. I would buy an album with Ghost tracks in a second.

Listen closesly and you'll hear that it is exactly the same break, chopped up, rearanged and perhaps timestretched/pitchshifted. Even the "trademark" warmth and background crackle is lifted from Teardrop.
Nothing against Massive Attack OR Burial, but it annoys me a bit.

Hopefully there will be some vinyl.
