...Which is more a reflection of the emotional baggage that listeners bring to music, than it is of Burial.

The Cypress Hill syndrome. Loved by HH heads till students got into them and they became marganilised by "true heads" after than. Music snobbery at its worst.

gotta agree with you on this listeners of music perceive meanings within music that aren't usually there or are of an ambigous nature.

Burial becoming more popular makes me happy, man. The dude deserves it. And everyone should have the chance to hear music that might mean something to them.

Also, shouldn't we all big him up for the way he's handled the props he's been getting? He's just getting on with it: making tunes, sending them to Kode9, revising the beats, and on and on, as if the hype didn't exist. Respect for that.

review from amazon :lol:
"The sheer magnificence of the all-encompassing musical vision contained in this still unreleased CD takes my breath away. Without a clue which artists are or aren't going to be contained within it's hand-picked Burial shininess, I am filled with the kind of excitement I haven't experienced since I was born. Before even. I'd give this CD twelvety-skren stars if I could, and I know the other reviewers here, equally ignorant and equally uncaring of any actual "content" would agree with me - this CD will make all other music simply redundant. I can only look forward to the day when we all have a copy and can turn the rest of our music collection into wierd post-apocalyptic clothes, or use them as discordant clattery musical instruments, or as frisbees for the dogs. "What shall I listen to?" we might say to ourselves, and then chuckle, knowing the answer can and always will be - Burial DJ Kicks. Forever and ever, into the darkness of death. Enjoy!"

lol, you are a one. The first Burial album was getting press all over the place not long after it dropped, so unless you're talking about South London boroughs, there never really was a time that Burial wasn't "public knowledge".

In addition, who gives a flying fuck?

Kinda doubt it I'd say we'll probably see his new album before this.

Is Burial the Banksy of the DJ/Music world???

The great thing about Burial is that he's probably done numerous DJ sets without people even realising it's him. Infact I'm sure this has probably happened.

Millitant Burial fans truly are the scariest motherfuckers on earth.
