Burial's self-titled album made it into The Guardian's 1000 albums to hear before you die.
It's a 5 part supplement starting today covering artists from A-C. you can see it online here:
http://music.guardian.co.uk/1000albums
also if you buy the paper you'll see his album features prominently on the front cover of the supplement.

thats good to see
a lot of this you cant read it with a straight face though
about air, moon safari: "their unique robo-pop vision neared perfection with hit single Sexy Boy. A decade on, it still holds up as the thinking person's post-clubbing soundtrack."
huh!?
no atcq but they manage to have the clipse in there? im not even a big tribe fan, but thats just stupid...
and common's electric circus instead of water for chocolate or ressurection? well, you know what to expect with these lists i guess, so whatever

yeh mate i nearly mentioned this in my first post but when you read their criteria for making the list i guess it makes sense to choose electric circus.
although water for chocolate is ridiculously good, it would have been the obvious choice

I think I was past the thousand albums mark by some point in the mid '90s. But I'm probably older than most of the people here and I've had more time to build up the collection.

but u have to remember these are literati who dont go out raving
'the thinking person's post-clubbing soundtrack' is so fucking snobby
i mean u would think even if they were too scared to go out raving they would have read simon reynolds? ffs!!
lol lol lol
'throws hands in air walks off'
also 9's album should be in there as much as burial shld

I wonder what the 'unthinking person's' post clubbing track is?
Cannibal Corpse's 'Meat Hook Sodomy'?
Answers on a postcard please.
