    My first purchase on itunes - Burial "untrue" album after all the hype I had been hearing about it because of his mercury nomination.

    From the little snippets i'd heard previously and for all the critical acclaim i was reading about this album, I was expecting something somewhere between Goldie "Timeless" and DJ Shadow's "Endtroducing".

    The album has some amazing attention to detail and layer upon layer of delicious sound, the way he has played some of the vocals at normal speed then the last word is slowed or extended - its amazing.

    BUT, he uses that vocal technique on practically every song.

    AND the beats - AAAARGH!

    I dont mind a bit of Drum n Bass / Jungle if its not too repetitive, but this repetitive two-step malarky. Think its a london (or gritty city) thing, or maybe just an english thing. Because two-step doesnt even get a look-in up here in scotland - its a "lahndan thing" methinks.

    I do love the cinematic sound though and all the beautiful layers. If his beats had been dirty breaks rather than repetitive two-step then this album wouldve got HUUUUGE thumbs-up from me.

    Not that I didn't already hate the fuckwit arserag that is The Sun anyway but I am disgusted at them for campaigning to out the guy's identity. Those fucks really need to stick 'in the' back in "In the public interest" - semantics make all the difference between idle curiosity and a pertinent need to know.

    God, people are dicks.

    • just dont buy the shit then!– 23kon1/2
      Great answer, 23Kon.

      Fantastic.      – Nairn2/2

    He's as anonymous to me now as he was before I read the article.

    btw. what kind of dupstep is what he does? the shit we hear over here isn't not that interesting. just lots of low bass sequences and nothing else

    • id call it "dark cinematic dubstep" if i had to make up a name– 23kon

    Thought it was dull as dishwater when I first heard it, and the whole anonymity gimmick is marketing department bullshit.

    boring sound.

    dub step sounds like drum and bass in a tin can.

    lol, I was going to say to modern and calculator "well, you'd probably benefit from living in London to appreciate his sound a little more" but, er, you're both in London, so *Bang!* goes that half-arsed theory.

    • I don't know why I think this - it just makes so much sense when I'm moping around town with Burial on my headphones.– Nairn1/3
      I was driving around Spain last year and it ... well, it didn't quite work so well.– Nairn2/3
      it needs to be GRITTY SHIITY UK. maybe the music goes with the grey clouds we get– 23kon3/3

    the music is great. as neue said above, it's one of the few dubstep people i can take.

    the untrue album from start to end is fantastic. it's extra fantastic on a rainy day. really makes the mood if you get what i'm saying.

    as far as outing his identity, i could really care less. it's interesting how there was so much speculation about how it may be richard james and such...

    he deserves the praise though, that's for sure.

    • I couldn't care less about his identity either. I care that he wanted to remain anonymous though - it's his right.– Nairn1/2
      i agree.– lvl_132/2

    I don't mind Burial but the one thing I find repetitive is that "empty bullet shell dropping on the floor" sample repeated all the time. That gets a bit tedious.
