Editorial Review: Album Description: 2007 sophomore release from the UK's mysterious and much-acclaimed Burial. Of all the artists past and present who claim to let their music do their talking for them, Untrue, is a record of weird Soul music, which lovingly processes spectral female voices into vaporized R&B and smudged two-step garage. Vocal lines are blurred, smeared, pitched up pitched down and pitch bent until their content is cast adrift from their original context and they whisper their saccharin sweet nothings into the void. Forget central heating -- the radioactivity of this album is all that you'll need to keep you warm this winter. Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Tradition revitalised...If you like your Electronica served chilled and with the same artistic level as the likes of The Orb, Higher Intelligence Agency, Plaid, Future Sound of London or Boards of Canada.... then you can't go wrong with this album. Fear not, buy it. Rating: - AdventureThere was once, a long time ago, a cd called The Orb's Adventures Beyond The Ultra World. Well, ever since I did not hear any cd that came close to the fantasy and imaginative way of making music like that. It is like reading a good book and in this book i see before me a little human. This little person is carving his very own cathedral in a distant place and underground where no one could find him. A beautyful cave it has become made from grey'ish marble where the material doesn't reflect so much the bright source of light that seems to be coming from nowhere. The beauty of this music is the contrast between the dark atmosphere and the text which is not much but very to the point with hairraising innocense and beautyful ...

He's publicity-shy, he's not touring and he concerns himself primarily with his beats. The palette is parsimonious: all is very sparse, but it never feels bare or cheap. Clearly, there are lots of influences here. Whereas the previous album was a nice crossover of dub, Drum & Bass, and Boards of Canada (!?), this one has an almost trance and garage feeling with eurotrash voices coming from another planet. There are echoing synthesizers that seem lifted from AFX Ambient Classic II and early Autechre (say, Garbage). The album is infectious and almost danceable (again, in a different planet). But the best thing about Burial is that his sound is instantly recognizable. It is original, honest. Given the intimate ... Read More: Rating: - .Is it possible to do justice to this album? Truly an awesome piece of music that manages to be emotive, exciting, mellow, dark and melancholic (in true Burial style) all at once. Near Dark is simply stunning, woodblocks, dark rave stabs running around in the back, and a vox admitting to envy. Archangel has elements not unlike Rhythm and Sound, but nothing like them, too. More darkness and vox. The entire album is the work of a genius. I didn't think it would be possible to top South London Boroughs; so, eh, what do I know? |
