Well could someone explain why people think he's the greatest thing to ever happen to sound, and try not to get gay about it.

Idk I just find that his music is simple yet complex, and that's what appeals to me

a wouldve suited

The whole mystery around his identity definately played a part

why? do I have to give in depth review of what burial's music invokes in me? (although I'm almost positive that I've done that multiple times before )

I was kind of just saying that as a joke dfd because your post was so analytical and intricate but your last post about burial being overrated if everyone just liked his tunes doesnt really make sense

Evokes.

No sorry i missed your post. I can see your explanation explaining a lot of cases but not all of them. It's those that i genuinely don't understand.

I think Burial's tunes had good atmosphere, percussion and sound. Don't like the last EP though.

Shocker

most of mala in cuba was pretty boring.

OOOOOOKAAYYYYYYY

OOOKAAYYYYYYY DEVRY

THAT'S ENOUGH










seriously though, this has been way over discussed but I loved that lp

thought mala in cuba sounded hyped (what i heard)

so i didnt buy it & saved myself the stress for when it sold out in minutes

i was just saying why i think sonika's response is inappropriate

i'm not too worried about avoiding gayness but then i also don't think he's the greatest thing to ever happen. i DO think it's about the uniqueness of his style and the kind of sounds that he uses and the fact that the effectiveness of his tunes is in their imperfections, the manually put together percussion (although i find a lot of his percussion sounds really fucking annoying), the way he treats vocals (although again some of his vocals are very, very miss, like that christina aguilera sample in ghost hardware), etc. obviously with any tunes that want to evoke an emotional state it's going to touch some people deeply while leaving others cold, humans are individual like that, but when someone's music does have a near-universality like that it's got to be acknowledged as an achievement.

i could go on but basically burial isn't perfect but he is INTERESTING, which is what makes it worthwhile to discuss him in more depth than "i like the tunes"

kindred was the last EP wasn't it? i rather liked it.

I think it was that vocal sample in this that first got me

SORRY IM SO BEHIND OK

my favorite burial tune is like the 30 seconds @ the end of shell of light

& that shlohmo shell of remix is mad dope for that reason
