Burial

[kid cue]

i am so not downloading that. last time it almost ruined the first album for me. and yeah, Mary Anne Hobbs needs to tone it down a little.

so you listened to all the previews but won't listen to a 15min mix? not sure the kode 9 mix really gives away any secrets. it's 17 tracks in 15 mins. you don't hear much of anything. it sounds like burial. exactly what you'd expect.

i shouldn't have listened to the samples either. but they're still just samples. a mix is a self-contained piece, and i'd rather it not substitute for the album in my mind.

LX_Nen: i don't care how simple Burial's methods are as long as he keeps bringing the vibe. you could say the same about any number of great hardcore tracks from the early 90s. there ought to be MORE mismatches in sample-based music IMO; all the music is sounding a bit too clean and precise these days.

I actually quite like Burial, but it is all just samples + covering up the mismatches with crackles and reverb.

Any fool can do it. Even a middle aged white suburban bloke like me.

Here's the hottest new dubplate from East London's darkhypergrimedub massive Kremayshun to prove my point: http://www.lxnen.com/KremayshunOne.mp3

Took me about 2 hours, and there's probably far to much going on because I can't quite bring myself to make things as empty as Burial does, and I was relying only on cleared samples I already had on my harddrive rather than nicking anything gangsta stylee.

Coming next: Kremayshun remixes Underworld - Mmm Towerblock I love you :-)

go on then LX. if it's that easy i'll expect you to be the media darling in a few weeks time.


make an album since it's so easy. get it played on Radio1. win album of the year awards from many diff. sources. if you do this with ease, i'll give you every single item i own, every penny to my name.

see the issue here? i'm not debating his right to critique Burial.

...and I'll stick by it. Any fool, including me can make a track that sounds like Burial. I did put my money where my mouth is, by making a track and posting it.

Nobody is seriously going to suggest that my first go at it is anywhere near as good as Burial, but I don't think anyone can deny that it does sound like Burial. Burial on a bad day, or the bottom ranked track in the shortlist of 100 he had for his first album maybe, but none the less I think it does sound like Burial, and with more appropriate sample choice, it will sound even more like him next time.

Why can't we just share the love for Burial music. Somehow I really don't care how it's made, or how easy it's made: Burial grabs me, and I like teh music. So there.
Please waste your time on something else than acting like smart asses and argueing over nothing.

Fuck you Leon I'll murk you blud.

Lx_Nen made a dumb statement and was called on it.

BLD is a wanker, but he's right.

Dubman has a crush on BLD.

kid cue is hot.

I'm going to get drunk and listen to those samples for a few hours.
