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.
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.
^ cool answer, rate it 1.5/10 on gayness.
To me it just sounded like some guy made audio collages that kode9 got a hold of and let the hype machine do the rest. But that's just cus i didn't get them.
But i do now.
I respect everyone's opinions on burial now.
Apart from when they take it too far.
Which is about 60% of them.
There was one tune that never got released, forget what it was called, Kode9 played about a minute of it at sonar. Got massively overhyped on here for
ages, wasn't even that great
