Untrue?


To cool down the hype that has been going on at theneonrider, I decided to talk about London's dubstep master Burial. Although he has remain anonymous since his debut in 2006, I can tell you that the sound that this guy gives us is breath taking. His first album called "Burial" released in early 2006 made a lot of noise among the european scene, it was an album to just relax, read a book or simply enjoy the blend of different sounds and effects that were put into it. The follow up, "Untrue", was announced in September 2007 and finally we had it out in November, this album didn't suffer the curse of the second release, because we always become judgemental when it comes to comparing, this album has the essence of the first one, but if you add great vocals into the songs, a little bit more power and deeper sounds, the result is just delightful. Both of his albums had been recognized as albums of the year by Hyperdub which is Burial's record label, also magazines such as The Wire and Mixmag had talked greatly about the work that this anonymous artist has done.

What got me talking about Burial in the first place, is this remix by Boy 8-Bit of Archangel my favorite song taken out of Untrue, its similar to the original but it adds power to it so I think it´s worth to be heard.

Burial - Archangel (Boy 8-Bit Remix)

As a gift I´m going to leave you the original version of another of my favorite songs of Burial's second album and a remix that he did for Bloc Party's Where is Home?
