Im not really one for Dubstep and to be frank, Dubstep annoys me a little. However, one day this guy Burial comes along and changed my life. In a world of changing emotions one often needs a medium to "escape" as it were from life and the crap that comes with it. This is where Burial steps in.
This is quite possibly the finest bit of musical work to ever be made. Its not your orthodox album, it needs to be heard from track 1 to track 13 all in one go. As someone else posted earlier, this is seriously a night bus album. Burial infuses his trademark 2-step sounds with haunting melodies and a crackling in the background that makes this piece work ever more haunting....
I'm playing the debut Burial album, eponymously named forsooth, a great deal at the moment and it is a bewitchingly lugubrious and atmospheric product. This appeals. Electronic and dub-heavy riddimic soundscapes proffer dark and mournful insights into urban melancholia that are compelling and challenging in equal measure. The track titles - Night Bus, Broken Home, U Hurt Me, Gutted - add to the murky ambience and the occasional haunting vocal helps create e'en more tension. It's a marvellous recording, full of layers and texture and I'd suggest that's the kind of album Boards of Canada would create if they resided in a bleak inner London rather than the bucolic splendour of the Scottish wilds.

This is a bit of an odd one to be honest. Musically it has the quiet-loud dynamics of Mogwai, quirky The Cooper Temple Clause electronic bits, the punkiness of Refused and a Pink Floyd-esque vocal. It is a bit "strange" but it works very well. It's not a difficult listen but at the same time is quite challenging. There are no catchy hooks but that isn't a criticism. Basically, it's something very different and frankly, could be the start of something rather exciting.
