Burial & Breakage - Vial

Burial sounds very one-dimensional to me and pretty much bores me to tears. I appreciate his 'sound' but as somebody who comes near London, I don't really need to even hear it. It's kind of in my head anyway. If that makes sense. Maybe on his behalf thats quite a clever and talented thing to pull off.

You're walking down a dark alleyway on a cold, rainy night. Somewhere off in the distance, a singer croons soulful, evocative lamentations through the ethereal fog which permeates your inner-city existence. Around the corner, you hear the sound of a bullet casing hitting the worn, broken concrete, almost as if it were happening in slow motion. Suddenly the eerily familiar, almost too familiar, clickety-clack of a lightly-syncopated drumbeat descends upon you, punctuating the rise of Mary Anne Hobbes' spectre from a nearby skip. Slowly it dawns on you that there's no way out; you're stuck in every Burial song ever made.

Aahahhaha, fucking brilliant. I love Burial though.

This one is out now, and the album itself is fairly decent as well. =}

Burial also has a collab with El-B on Nu Levels out soon.

Buy the album. It's sick

I too hope he makes more stuff like fostercare, fucking banger of a track.

it's the only standout on a bad album.

breakage is a crushing bore. it's like he aims to make the most generic tunes possible in an array of fading or faded genres.

The only breakage song I like is Comatose, stop with the dubstep please.

you'll probably like spiritualism, trans bohemian, drowning, the 9th hand, circumference and panic room too.

haven't heard the album yet, but i did listen to the clip of foundation on youtube. i know it's a dubstep album, but when he said there would be some d&b, i took that to mean more choppage stuff. that foundation track sounds pretty generic amen

This Too Shall Pass is one of my favorite albums EVER. Foundation not so much.

Dude just got guest-vocalist'ed to death, like many other good producers going for a wider appeal, imo. I'll never understand why I'm supposed to get excited by the most boring Roots Manuva performance EVER on albums like this. Anyone with ears can hear that it's a lousy effort, and I love Roots Manuva. I mean if you can only get these guys for an afternoon, just forget about it and put some sick instrumentals on there. Heck just put all the recent Breakage 12"s on a CD and I'll buy it.

But like, FEATURING David Rodigan? Are you kidding? I realize he's got cred but basically you sampled him, he's not ON the track. Shit like that drives me crazy. This album is basically made to be played on Radio 1 for like a week and then forgotten about.

Something's wrong when all the "interludes" have the dopest beats on the album.

Pure unadulterated lol right there. Hall of fame shit.
