burial sells out

[digital.atmosphere]

nominated for mercury music prize despite his record coming out the year before, along side awful records by crap bands like radiohead as well as remixing tom york and has revealed his identity. discuss...

It'l become cool to dislike him now.

[digital.atmosphere]

i decided i disliked him on the 4th august, a day early because i am cool and hip like that

[Efflux]

He released his name because some dick head from the Sun was hounding people about it, however the Independant already announced his name last year in an article without the idiocy of the Sun. Also IF he wins the mercury it would have been nice to see him collect it. He is fucking awesome though, and thats what counts so it doesn't really matter.

i'm cooler and hipper because i decided i disliked him on the 3rd. i was having lunch in shoreditch at the time.

[digital.atmosphere]

i strarted to get bored of burial about a year before he released his first record

[buzzingtalk]

ive never heard his tunes. becuase of the whole secercy thing, i think he his a twat

therefore, i wont even look and lol at his videos on pootube

[fletcher]

I was meaning to buy Untrue for ages, then when i heard it was up for a mercury, i bought it.

Does that make me gay?

I actually really enjoy the album, sounds like a cross between massive attack and wookie... which is a good thing

[digital.atmosphere]

yeah unture is a fantastic record ive been listening to it for about a year now most days

That was Burrell. Except he wasn't her driver, he was her butler and her... "Rock".

Must admit I'd never heard of Burial either, I'm sooooooooooo out of touch.

I thought this thread was about someone selling tickets to Thatcher's funeral or something.

[Reversal of Fortune]

Archangel and Distant Lights are his only good tunes. The rest of the tracks on either album bore me to tears.

I could give a fuck who Burial is!

[Five Alive]

I Love almost all of burials work , mecury or no mercury who cares ???

Try this ..... Type 'William Bevan' ( Burials real name ) into google and hit I'm feeling lucky !!

[casiokerry]

I bought the album just out of curiosity about a year ago. I don't see what the fuss is about.
It just sounds like a few broken up garage beats over some pads. What's the big deal?
The only thing that makes it unusual is the vocals, and they're also what make it commercial, I guess.

Burial FTW
Who cares about this guys identity, most Dj's electronic music producers are faceless to me anyway.
Its a good album if you give it a chance. I like to listen to it in full I just find it one of those albums that has to be heard from start to finish to appreciate it fully.

Quite a lot of the stuff on the hyperdub label is pretty good especially if your sick of the "my bass is wobblier than yours" dubstep that is about. Hyperdub seem to have a more dubby sound than most other dubstep, which I really like about them.

If you like Burial check out kode9 & the Spaceapes album Memories of the future if you haven't heard it already its pretty amazing

[buxtonacid]

His music is really enjoyable to listen to and despite it's simplicity, very unique and identifiable.

Who cares who he is or if he's selling out, he's brought GOOD electronic music into the mainstream and for that he should be praised.
