Favourite Burial Tune?

[fork]

Unite

[defekt]

I think it has to be Gutted.

Someone needs to explain whats so great about burial, Ive listened to his stuff on several occasions and its just too clicky for me to care about anything else.

if Burial doesn't take your breath way within 0.5 seconds of any track, then you'll never get it. at least that's the way I see it. no offense man.

not at all true. i didnt "get it" the first couple times i listened to it, thought it was nothing special.

then i listened to it late at night with my Grado's. instant love. like a switch was flipped.

pretty much the same for me.. when i first listened to it i thought it was good but nothing special.. then when i listened to it massively stoned on the way home at night on my bike it hit me like a stone wall had feelings of paranoia but at the same time felt completely safe and in harmony.. good times

Pretty much the same for me. I bought his first album based on hype and thought it was boring as fuck (being of the vex'd generation).
It first clicked for me when I was on my way back from college a few years ago, sitting on a bus on my own, in the rain, in the middle of fucking nowhere, on a fun 40 minute journey at 6pm in winter. Had my mp3 player on shuffle and wounder came on. I insta-jizzed and fell in love.

Archangel & Unite. Broken Home and Distant lights get played up here quite a bit too.

Hadn't ever heard Moth before - cheers for the info.

I had the Vex'd album already (I still love it) but the first time I heard 'Distant Lights' I cried myself blind and wanked myself invisible.

He wrote it just for me, you know.

UNITE or SOUTH LONDON BURROUGHS !

In McDonalds says quite a fair bit about our generation in just 2:11

The track that got me into Burial was Distant Lights, but I think my favorite tune is either Night Train or Raver. But it's very hard to choose. Apart from some of the stuff on Untrue, with the "cheesy" vocals, I think most of his tracks are pretty top notch.

Oh, and the collab with Four Tet is simply breathtaking. Best pieces of music I've heard in a long while. Hope they do more stuff together.

[feral witchchild]

Hmm, after giving it a lot of thought, I'd like to add "Homeless" to my answer.

Not only because it's fucking amazing, but also because of the way he re-contextualized the "Don't you know that I sit around with my head hanging down?" from "Who's Loving You?" by the Jackson 5.

The fact that he heard that shit and saw that it could become something like "Homeless" is just...like I don't even know what to say about, he can't be human. ,: |

Oh shiatttttttttt

Anyways I really like Wolf Cub and Raver

[skevin]

Has to be Unite & that track he done with four tet, Wolf.

That wolf track is fucking magic I swear, every time I hear it I just go off in a daze. Lovely.

[Neurotik]

Either 'Endorphin', well i just wish it was longer yet not sure if that would take from it's effect. Powerful track!or 'Near Dark' or 'You Hurt Me'. Moth is just fucking incredible if i can include that.

i like this remix

Bloc Party - Where is home? (Burial remix)

[tacospheros]

really really really really really hard to pick a favorite.

Homeless is next level sadness expressed thru music


Archangel is still right up there too . i have to agree about not quite getting Burial's tunes at first. it took Archangel getting dropped late night at dubwar, dark lonely dancefloor business , eyes down. really hit me hard

a friend of mine really put it well, he said something like "you hear it , and you just instantly think of the person you want to be with , and you get transported to this place, its just pure sex, and sadness, and Archangel is playing, and you're just there"
