It might be good for us to know what kind of music you like, Nac, before we can prescribe to you the "must-buy" albums. |

Except for the peanutbutter part. I bet cambells shrimp soup is made of the shrimp heads only or something, or their eyeballs. All well; I'm about to eat some. I put that + string beans + black beans + eggs + instant potatoes + bacon in a frying pan. It looks like my soul; a bubbling putrid mess. |

Could you expand on that rather juvenile assessment? |

Overrated, lazy touchstone fetted by journos but supremely irrelevant to anyone else. It's middle class, suburban escapismm, it's about as musically "fresh" as a sample pack played on random and it bears about 2 repeat plays before you see right through it. |

True, the music hacks love it. But those labels are easily applied to anything we choose, without the need to REALLY say anything about the music itself. I'm off to beddy-byes. When I wake up with a fresh head I might have an inkling of an idea how the Burial album can be described as "middle class". |

"But those labels are easily applied to anything we choose, without the need to REALLY say anything about the music itself." I agree. It's all too easy to write stuff off and reduce music like he did. I haven't actually heard Burial (he might be right in that instance), but I've seen enough comments like that about good albums to be wary; people might call Ultravisitor "a wanky, self-indulgent noise fest", but I just think it's a bloody exciting album. |

use this opportunity to tell nacmato to buy three copies of your album |

It's all too easy to write stuff off and reduce music like he did. Is it so easy? If it was so easy everyone would be doing it, but no, I did it with sweat and tears, my seemingly effortless little tirade took a lot of work. I had to really think why Burial gets on my tits. Well, I didn't have to think that hard. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

Anyway, at least I've listened to him. You haven't even bothered. Maybe we should all not listen to music but just assume it's great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Good point. Maybe I'd enjoy "middle class, suburban escapismm", whatever that sounds like. |

Sorry, I forgot, if music doesn't stand up to the slightest criticism, it's the critic's fault, not the music. |

If you claim to be any sort of critic you tell us in what way Burial's music is "middle class escapism", not cling to lazy labels. Slag it to high heaven for all I care, just give me a bit more. |

I am going for burial so I can enter the discussion now thanks |

Good for you. It's well-programmed cliche-free beats, deployment of vocal samples placed deep in the mix and tension-inducing synths will have you going back again and again. For me it does what electronic dance music does so rarely these days; it evokes human feelings and transcends the cold machines used to produce it. I think it's difficult to do but when done well it's...well, great. |

For me it does what electronic dance music does so rarely these days; it evokes human feelings and transcends the cold machines used to produce it. Oh now it makes sense, you're writing to us from BEFORE people actually made electronic music, and you're relying on what old rockists feared Synths would do to music. Ok, let's go from there. |
||||||||
|
|

|

I've never understood the phrase deep in the mix. What does it mean? |
||||||||
|
|

Quiet. |

No. My use of 'these days' refers to the fact that more recently I've become tired of electronic dance music (more specifically club dance music) and become more interested in other music, like jazz, improv, composition 'world music' etc. I am not referring to contemporary music per se, more my current listening habits. Music made electronically can sound rigid and cold at times and my point is that it is very hard, and takes much skill, to create dance music that has the feeling of something made by Fela Kuti, say. I am by no means from any "rockist" camp. Marlowe: my clumsy writings refer to vocal samples that don't sound forced and sit awkwardly above the percussive and melodic layers. Part of the challenge of making music with computers is NOT having the listener imagine the layers of samples/tracks on the monitor. I'm in danger of disappearing up my own arsehole. Let's forget Burial. |
