the abyss
To me it's not so much that Burial's music is important, or amazing or groundbreaking. It's more that it captures so well a certain sense of less and distant hope that is immediately familiar to anyone who has ever believed in the 'rave dream' or ruined their brain chemistry with mdma. In that sense it's very generous music that wants to make a connection with the massive and how things feel these days. So for a certain type of person it does feel kind of epochal.
At one point I did wonder if it was a collaboration between Jimmy Cauty and Kevin Shields though.
is the burial lp available digitally anywhere yet?
