BURIAL - Subtemple / Beachfires

i believe the cover of untrue made it famous

wow i just listened to this its fucking horrible

Yeah it's pretty shit. Peaked @ Truant/Roughsleeper. Everything since has been lacklustre

I prefer this ambient approach more than his more recent eps tbh.

His beats aren't as interesting as the textures he makes imo, so this kind of release is fine by me (although I can understand why lack of beats is major downer for others)

edit: but I still like the beats, I should add. Kindred is good and has plenty of em.

I love the stuff he has done the last few years - much more than his earlier work. He really appealed to me a lot more when he dropped the beats and all that jungle shit. I much prefer these fragmented, semi-ambient pieces. They are haunting and evocative.

I understand how other people would not be happy though - especially if you liked the stuff on those first two albums.

boring.

everything he's done since Truant/Rough Sleeper has seemed like fake Burial. that one was magic though.

Truant is my least favourite Burial release.

Subtemple Bandcamp is mine

Forgive is his best track and its ambient

Maybe.. but his come down music is wicked 2! ;)

Vinyl came today. Sounding lovely. Beachfires still really beautiful. Subtemple is pretty great too, but I honestly don't get why it's the a-side of a single. This and Young Death / Nightmarket really feel like they should be part of an album rather than singles in their own right.

i only listened to the first track but it was probably the weakest he's done

Listen to the second track.

... for a muddly rehash of the first

I'm rather liking this one, seems a much better example of his new ambient direction than the last 12". It's got me a bit more intrigued at the idea of an ambient burial album at least.

Really? They sound pretty different to me. Subtemple is quite abstract, whereas Beachfires is rich and emotive.
