Burial - Kindred EP

this ep is getting better with every listen...

Without having heard this, and based on people comments, it seems those Massive Attack remixes played a significant part in the sound of this EP?

Hi Mr BUNKUM,

 

I had a sneaky listen to one of the tracks (not sure which one) and I would say YES

Yay.. Could finally buy it on Hyperdub.

 

I'm in heaven

Stuff the Shaolin monk mindset, the vinyl can wait, mp3 downloading now!!

Marvellous.

I can neither sign in nor buy from hyperdub, so I won't be purchasing (yet). I had no problems buying Street Halo when it was released, so I'm not sure what's up. I can't even find a help contact address on their website - all there is is a contact for current orders or general label enquiries!

best Burial i have ever heard. best thing i have heard in a while

I bought and its damn easy...

i'm loving the raveyness of loner

 

agreed. i think it is currently my fav on the ep, then ashtray wasp. all will change though im sure.

 

just a killer killer ep though.

i think kindred (the track) might be a grower - exit wounds was initially my least favourite track on ghost hardware and now it's my favourite.

 

i keep listening to a couple of tracks of other albums, then turning them off to put on this ep again lol

I've managed to buy it now - for some reason, clicking buy on the homepage didn't work, but clicking on the album to get to the album's page and then clicking on buy did. Now listening to it for the first time!

I dont think its his best work. South London Boroughs is still my fav.

 

This is still bloody good work though.

Agreed South London Buroughs is ace.

The tracks are all very long and contain a 'flowy' atmosphere between a lot of thoughts. Similar to the earth/wind/fire/water breakdown that Four Walls has. None of them are have a repetitive perc hits either, which was becoming kind of stale point in his sound.

to me he's still yet to top broken home. enjoying the new ep, some of it is almost poppy. could imagine drake or the weekend rapping over it.

I've quite liked Burial for a while without ever feeling the need to go overboard. But this whole EP is fucking exceptional. I think anyone accusing him of having no range have had their answer.

totally agreed. i dunno, i hate to use the word... proggy? but there it is. three long tracks, which are very fractured and capture multiple moods, and exhibit multiple techniques. and there's just this soul running through it from start to end. it's pretty astounding. i guess you could mention prog, but fuckit. imma just file under incredible and hope he never changes. this fucking music...

^ perfect

 

 

i put this on my house system when i got home and had it cranking as i was cooking dinner. kindred sounded way better than it did at work. my wife walked in during loner and said, "this sounds like a rave..."

 

and ashtray wasp, well, what an amazing track. i love how it moves between different pieces within each track. the tracks blended into each other very nicely listening without a screen or track titles in front of me. what a perfect ep.

Im a bit apprehensive about the amount of vinyl scratching on the tracks, and what it'll sound like when its actually on vinyl. Seems to be a lot more than on any other burial ive heard.

Dear Hyperdub technical support,

Sort it before I track it...prease!

 

Its your problem... I bought it by credit card in less than 5mn, 6 hours ago...

chut up!

 

 

 

Burial is a god...........

 

 

I liked Street Halo as well, so the Japanese CD is really tempting. It would amount to one shit-hot album.

Yeah I've burnt a CD from my WAVs and it really does flow quite well as a mini album (nearly an hour long, really an album I suppose with the long multipart tracks). Very tempted to pick up the Japanese CD as well...

I love the sinister basslines on the first track. burial needs to collaborate with shackleton asap!

 

does anyone else's audio files have skips? not burial crackle, but skips like a cd skipping.
