 One Dubstep Beyond April 27, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'm playing the debut Burial album, eponymously named forsooth, a great deal at the moment and it is a bewitchingly lugubrious and atmospheric product. This appeals. Electronic and dub-heavy riddimic soundscapes proffer dark and mournful insights into urban melancholia that are compelling and challenging in equal measure. The track titles - Night Bus, Broken Home, U Hurt Me, Gutted - add to the murky ambience and the occasional haunting vocal helps create e'en more tension. It's a marvellous recording, full of layers and texture and I'd suggest that's the kind of album Boards of Canada would create if they resided in a bleak inner London rather than the bucolic splendour of the Scottish wilds.
 This is incredible March 29, 2008
What beauty lies encased in here to surprise the sensitive ear!! This speaks of the urban night, of the silent moment of reflection that takes on you in the midst of the dullest moment of the day...These sounds have been soaked in the sodium glare of our cities, the noises of the night, the fears that stalk you in bed, awake, drunk maybe, and lucid, the flyovers, the distant lights that make you want to escape, the dreams...this music ellicits something from you that is hard to grasp and explain inwords as it will be different for each one of us, but which lies there, a byproduct of our lifestyle.
To me, this departs from a point beyond where FSOL could not go any furhther, mananging to infuse the mix of isolationist ambient and dubstep with a sadness and a capacity for evocation that you can rarely find anywhere else.
Definitely one of the must-haves of the decade!!
I am still specially haunted by one of the tracks, "In McDonalds"...short but so loaded with emotions...

Possibly the best thing i have heard in a long time since i started listening to the moody dark rhythms of Massive Attack and the like......as a dj i am constantly looking for a new sound and this falls within that catetgory....atmospheric, moody, dark - this album is a touch of brilliance and i shall be listening to it for a long time - if you truly appreciate music, you MUST own this album.....put it on, sit back, chill out and become absorbed in the sublime soundscapes this album creates....
A true touch of genius and worthy of being categorised in "future music"....
The Sound of Future Dystopia January 8, 2008
This album is one of the most atmospheric I've heard in many a year and has re-energised my enthusiasm for Machine Music in a way I haven't experienced in years. To my mind, there is not a weak track on it and, amazingly for a record which is essentially a collection of singles released over a five year period, it has a consistent feel throughout and no tracks sound out of place. Abiding by Miles Davis' maxim that the space between the notes is more important than the notes themselves, this is a record that makes exceptional use of silence which allows the sounds that are there to assume a greater power. Late night headphone listening is especially rewarding.
Concrete music November 20, 2007
One can only state the emotions and sensibilities the music provokes. I do not want to coin Burial as a messiah, a voice of a generation, recluse, genius etc. I do not know the man, and I am not a radio dj trying to champion the album. However, I think Burial has made a special album that listens like a soundscape rather than a multitrack production. He is an original, which explains the endless accolades. I am, sure he is faithful to the dubstep generation, but this album, and his debut, doesn't actually sound like dubstep. The clicking gliche-like beats are obscure and unconventional, the convention being slow pounding dub. The use of sped up and mangled r&b vocals hook the listener, the melodies are dreamy, and the ambient pad sounds remind one of early Aphex and Eno. The longevity of this album will be owed to the fact that Burial has carved his own niche of sound production. His music displays his own run at creativity. Thoroughly recommended to the discerning music listener.
