After reading this article, though, my aesthetic appreciation has been greatly enhanced, so much so that I decided to order Untrue on vinyl last night.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09589718929265408019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646097089019633171.post-39764791520845361802013-06-30T18:29:42.007+01:002013-06-30T18:29:42.007+01:00I think my opinions about what I wrote about remai...I think my opinions about what I wrote about remain the same, even after hearing the new material. Burial has expanded a bit - longer tracks, darker tracks, more narrative-type tracks, and even dancier tracks, but I think the underlying aesthetic is the same. But give it another 4 years and who knows? I'm sure one day I'll be writing about him again, and will need to update!Adam Harperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07597956610460782824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646097089019633171.post-58376775151323009822013-06-24T20:47:45.766+01:002013-06-24T20:47:45.766+01:00do you feel any different in these opinions (bette...do you feel any different in these opinions (better/worse) since the release of newer work? or maybe more poignantly, do you believe these claims still apply (more/less) in the artist's newer works?Deologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14142454880041028018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646097089019633171.post-532382845705835152012-03-29T14:59:48.579+01:002012-03-29T14:59:48.579+01:00This is the most astounding blog post I've com...This is the most astounding blog post I've come across in months.

Since my very first time hearing Burial, played one evening in Trevor Nelson's show during a personally-nightmarish December 2007, I'd felt that my notion of what music could be had changed forever. Now, just over four years later, I've had that feeling acknowledged in a very real sense by your in depth analysis.

Maybe they are the same thing though...he is definitely creating a precedent for a fresh sense of depth in dance/electronic (or whatever) music that should allow other like-minded artists to flourish.

Although I suppose its three clear repetitions do create very audible landmarks, defining the form to some extent. On second hearing i think there are also delayed/reverbed/filtered fragments of it that add to the burial-esc indistinct and shifting background texture, that gives the music so much of its character. I am a bit disappointed that he hasn't used it as a melodic/harmonic/rhythmic fragment as with many of the other samples he uses. The track is still ace though.salix fragilisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646097089019633171.post-60652030569807601542009-12-23T10:51:36.481+00:002009-12-23T10:51:36.481+00:00im pretty sure the sample at the start of 'Fos...im pretty sure the sample at the start of 'Fostercare' is taken from Kaija Saariaho's 'jardin secret 1' - to be found on the release 'computer music currents 5'salix fragilisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646097089019633171.post-22079875255076224752009-12-16T23:42:43.573+00:002009-12-16T23:42:43.573+00:00PS.

RL, I love that musical innovation beyond guitar feedback is available to so many more people nowadays; but, I can't help worrying about focusing on new producers simply for their newness.<br /><br />There will be thousands of new aesthetic ways to present music in the next few years, but will we simply grow so fixated on newness of sonic qualities that we let great songwriting fall by the wayside?<br /><br />I just heard Charlotte Dada's version of Don't Let Me Down, with polyrhythmic African bells all over the place, and it is still a beautiful song, just with different wrapping. I hope we haven't become more interested in the wrapping than the gift.Brian Parkhttp://www.thegreatestconversation.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646097089019633171.post-23111259631785155782009-12-16T23:37:13.300+00:002009-12-16T23:37:13.300+00:00In reading your posts I often feel like you're...In reading your posts I often feel like you're "connection-hunting," and this one is no exception. Still, I personally love the fact that other people are thinking a lot about these things.<br /><br />My favourite part about this post is that, while I often consider Burial a sort of musical guilty pleasure, you give him his due regardless of his non-"serious" background. Your words about the self-awareness of his quantization choices hit the nail on the head; the poetic function (axis of selection meeting the axis of combination) doesn't rely on a technical stylistic awareness, but rather a set of good ears and good taste.<br /><br />I look forward to the next one.<br />-Brian parkBrian Parkhttp://www.thegreatestconversation.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646097089019633171.post-60344870901406034762009-12-15T13:37:37.612+00:002009-12-15T13:37:37.612+00:00The "ghosts of rave" thing is not necess...The "ghosts of rave" thing is not necessarily the hopeless, beholden-to-the-past thing that many of the Cultural Entropy boohoo-we're-all-doomed it's-not-like-it-was-in-my-day gang would have it be...<br /><br />It reminds me of the line from One Dove, at the height of rave, in the ultimate comedown song 'White Love': "and when it is dark / there are ghosts / that give me hope".Joe Muggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499812463240947680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646097089019633171.post-84001963696436375392009-12-13T01:15:53.666+00:002009-12-13T01:15:53.666+00:00the first album is a billion trillion times better...the first album is a billion trillion times better than the second.<br /><br />that's the only point i have to make.<br /><br />untrue. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646097089019633171.post-44288648429147777512009-12-10T23:36:10.193+00:002009-12-10T23:36:10.193+00:00Hope so RL!
