Burial literally invented his own style of drum beat rhythm and vocal electronic manipulation that you hear in tons of music today from edm like disclosure to mainstream pop and rap like drake.
Why don't more people recognize him for being so innovative and influential?
He re-purposed garage and 2 step, rhythmically he didn't blaze trails
It's always been more about how fucking evocative and atmospheric his stuff is

post any single example of drumming similar to burial in timbre and timing. you can't
>>70287895
>quantized drums
not even close, retard
>invented his own style of drum beat rhythm
Yeah I'm pretty sure shuffle beats existed before Burial and even before 2step. Try fucking jazz.
>>70287381
why does he have to look so fucking ghoulish? we get it you make atmospheric dance music... fucking smile for once
>>70290205
its cos he wishes he was four tet

Not true btw

post examples of those styles before burial then
What are some other stuff like Burial? Especially the kindred EP, those samples are genius
>>70292589
daft punk
>>70292607
ok what else? it's not like i don't know daft punk

And I purposely chose a very well known song. Burial just slowed 2-step a bit and made it darker.

/mu/: The Post
He was not the first to do this stuff, but there is no denying he was the one to make it popular. I hear his influence everywhere too.

He is no where as innovative as you think.
EL-B did burial wayyyyyyyyy before burial:

now stop acting like you're some OG, yank scum.
The rhythms are just syncopated, shuffly drum patterns. He's great at it but that was "invented" a century ago.
He uses a few other tricks, usually for atmosphere and aesthetic (weird EQing, very little deep low end, lots of ambient environmental samples, pitch shifting reverb of some kind) but none of it is innovative, he's just good at executing.
>>70290018
BoC shouldn't even count as IDM. The drum sequencing is super lazy and repetitive.
>>70294946
>IDM is about drum sequencing
I'm getting fucking tired of this IDM meme. It's a made up thing made by a forum in the 90's describing some Warp artists people liked. Fuck off.
>>70287381
because he intentionally stayed out of the public eye. however, he has gotten a fair amount of recognition for the very things you're talking about, so I'm not sure what your point is
next stupid question

>timbral quality is nowhere similar
try again
>>70295315
IDM is experimental, progressive, and/or innovative dance music. That's all.
>>70295510
I'm aware of the origin and usage.
The words "retard" and "faggot" are still commonly used despite being loaded. IDM is loaded but it's part of the lexicon now. Calling out others for using it is even more pretentious than the acronym itself.
>>70295609
No, I'm pretty sure using the term ''Intelligent Dance Music'' is way more pretentious than calling someone out for not even knowing what the term ''means''.
>>70295640
You said it's a made up term that means nothing, but it's entered the common music vocab and stayed fixed.
Laugh Out Loud sounds stupid, lol stuck. Intelligent Dance Music sounds stupid, IDM stuck. The acronym is greater than the sum of its constituents. English is a dynamic language.
Until a new category term appears and gains traction, I and everyone else will still call it IDM.
idm is fucking wank regardless of what its "connotations" are
>>70295779
fuck off simon
>>70295421
holy shit you're retarded
>lmao PROVE to me that anyone used violins before the beatles!!!!
>HAHA that mozart piece is TOTALLY DIFFERNET BRO it s got DIFFERENT NOTEs and shit@@!!!
>>70295735
>Until a new category term appears
how about calling the albums/tracks by their genre.
Autechre is techno
Selected Ambient Works 85-92 is (like the name suggests) ambient
and Burial is 2 step.
>>70295847
>Burial is 2 step
burial is future garage
>>70295421
T. Someone who clearly learned the phrase "quantized drums" within the past day or so
>>70295847
Because genre isn't the only useful classifier. Autechre, Burial, and Aphex are different genres but share a fundamental cross-genre percussion and mid/high BPM similarity.
"Wave" vs. "core" is another example.
no wonder burial never wanted to talk to ppl
idiots ITT would make me kill somebody
>>70295901
When you start fucking with drum VSTs or drum machines, it's super easy to recognize. Everything sounds straight, griddy, and perfect.
>>70295917
no its just you being an arse because you don't wanna call things what it is.
The artist themselves don't use those terms. why should we?
>>70295954
The critic is the true artist.

nice non arguments and false analogy
>burial rhythms
>heavily syncopated, out of time (not shuffles, not grooves) drums
>that characteristic metalic tone with lightspeed attack

burial is wildly acclaimed and /mu/ loves him

>>70296063
that same song was posted itt and my initial post was quoting it. are you even paying attention?
Name a song with similar rhythms to burial before burial
name a song with metallic sounding drums before burial
name a song with pitch warped and chopped up vocals before burial
>>70296317
nobody here is dissing burial u fucking retard
were just saying theres obvious influences and his shit wasnt created completely out of the blue
>>70296012
>start off argument saying "drum beat rhythms"
>get proven wrong
>now have to start moving the goalposts and bring up things like samples, effects and reverb

stop posting this transvestite

I'm not op
you sure about that op

the truth is that he was an amateur trying to recreate garage beats on shitty software without a sequencer and he ended up making something good by a fluke really.
thats why hes been struggling to make anything good when he moves away from that style, he is a fluke.
