Lambeth is the best unreleased Burial tune out there. Well Speedball2 is fucking madness, and True Love V.I.P, actually I think i prefer true love v.i.p. All of his unreleased stuff. Oh Burial I miss your music
I got major flame for it last time around but I will go out of my to say it again: Lambeth is the one mistake in his discography. And that tune on the eL-B compilation of course.

why?
and the El-B collab is still sick, not his best, but's that's mainly because most people that work with Burial, apart from fourtet, just sort of dilute him. The Goldie collab is his weakest I think, but again it doesn't sound finished.
Like at London's Koko in July, the 'surprise set' opening Friday night's Hyperdub showcase proves to be Kode9 Presents The Music Of Burial. However, unlike the London set, which mixed newer material with older tracks, this evening's 30 minutes or so consist entirely of brand new music. Their general feel is akin to the three tracks released on this year's Kindred EP: synths bruised deep blue, rhythms that click in and out of four-to-the-floor, those trademark flickering voices, percussion swung almost to the point of disarray but never quite losing control.
There sounds like an album's worth of material here which - I'm speculating here - suggests that we may well finally hear his follow-up to Untrue at some point in 2013. Sadly, I have my doubts that tonight's set closer, the lost dub known as 'Lambeth' that Kode9 has been playing in his sets for several years, will feature. It's darker, harder and more spacious than the newer material, save the lonely sonar pings that bound and ripple across its surface, and far more in line with Burial's self-titled debut than anything he's touched since Untrue.
