Burial – Burial

Does anyone else have a problem with the pressing? My CD is making a swishing noise as it's turning around in my Technics player. Like it's off balance or maybe a few millimeters larger than it should be. I have over 3000 CDs and the only other one that's doing the same is a bootleg pressing of a Stooges album. I checked the runoff matrix listed here and my Burial CD is genuine. Baffled.

bro if you wanna write something get this on, am returning to this as I heard it before untrue, maybe that's why it gives me shivers ing the city lights, off ramps and dripping water making my way through sydney life on my own for the first time - gutted

Overall a satisfying listening, though some tracks are much better than other which are stripped out of melodies, while the best ones are rich in tunes and emotion. Most tracks feels like being played in big open spaces, and they fit well with British city scenarios. " Forgive" is my top track in this release.

13 years after the release I finally dared to listen ... Earlier, intuition told me NO!
I wasn't disappointed ... A collection of plastic songs with laptop sound. A shovel of post-techno era. I don't recommend.

Mans be chatting nuff rubbish on the internet.

I heart Burial.

pretty steril imo, not my cup of tea, too randomly produced for me, lacks coherence

BORING ! how can so much good equipment produce something so dull ! Whoever rates this needs to listen to some good electronic music , Kraftwerk , LFO , Derrick May . Jaun Atkins .
burial = poop . zomby = poop .

This isn't the powerful emotional ride that "Untrue" turned out to be, but it came out at a time when this sound was still fresh, innovative, and exciting. While "Untrue" is about the mood and atmospherics, I'd argue this album is more about the production. Burial pushed new boundaries in dub with this work, a style he would later perfect.

The 51 minutes of this masterpiece can turn and turn for hours and you will just feel better at every play's. Perfectly produced to ear's heaven, subtle, powerful and yet incredibly emotional are every seconds on this record. Crossing and flirting with every boundary to achieve its own and sure deserved particular style, the Burial style... Get this record, play it, sit down and teleport youself to the South London Boroughs...
