2. Beachfires (09:50)

Young Death / Nightmarket was fucking shit.

I hope to god this is better.

It's like the intros to his songs made into 2 full length tracks. eh.

wow, this is shit. it's completely beatless, with crappy vocals and clock winding sounds. it's not even good ambient, like 36, gas, loscil etc... just found noises without any sense of melody/atmosphere/etc... he used to nail this stuff back in his early work, but burial has completely lost it at this point.

wow this is.......not good. at all.

and i say that as a will bevan apologist.

>>72867496
WHAT THE FUCK!

I finished listening to it. Young Death / Nightmarket was shit but at least it had something going on. These two songs are beyond lifeless. Young Death was Soundcloud-tier shit but this is just a pure mistake. Did he make this with a Chromebook?

so lets recap:

will hasn't released anything of value since Kindred in 2012. That's 5 years now he has been releasing sub-500 followers soundcloud-tier music, with all the ridiculous unwarranted hype that surrounds it. during this time, we've had tranny step, trancecore-ripoffs, butcher job of a goldie classic, the worst collab in the history of mankind with melon zomby, shitemarkets, and now 2 generic ambient tunes that you forget about the moment they finished.

ffs will, what the hell happened in your life to fall off the cliff like this?

>Burial returns to Hyperdub for a surprise two tracker of ghost hardware urban ambience and Metal Gear Solid garage. Here we find our hero returning to the rain-soaked South London boroughs from which his one-of-a-kind sound first came to fruition. Subtemple / Beachfires is sure to be William Bevan's most widely praised recording since we all fell under the angelic garage spell of Untrue, a decade ago.
On the A-Side, Subtemple deploys the inner workings of the Keysound classic 'Temple Sleeper', yet where that track spun off into a trance-inducing hardcore number, Subtemple steps deeper into the mix and comes through the other side of the dawn with echoes of the eternal classic 'Pirates' resonating through the spectral gloom, perfectly topped off with a filtered snatch of an old R&B white label dripping through the ceiling from the flat above.
On the B, Beachfires sets its way down a path of blurred memories from the rave a decade before, a howling wind blows out the last flick of the night's clipper while a rumbling bassline builds with momentum like the last night tube rumbling to a stop while you try and draw the last toke before descending down into the darkness. The end result is possibly the most vivid auto counterpoint to Burial's semi-imagined nighttime world yet.
Say what you like, but honestly, we don't really need to spell out just how good this one is.

>>72867916
Burial isn't ambient. There is an atmospheric style to his production but there is still a melodic structure of sorts to his music, its just more drawn out in these latest songs.

>>72868058
Burial is a musician. Musician does ambient. This release is ambient.

>>72868074
smdh you missed my point entirely. Ambient to me is pure dissonance with no melodic phrasing. Did you even listen to these latest songs?

>>72868054

>mfw I think this is actually not bad

I don't think it's offensively bad or notably good, but it feels like it's a smaller part of a bigger picture, and as a result not a very substantial release. These tracks don't seem like they belong on their own to me. They sound like intro / outro / interlude tracks from a full length album. Makes me think of the kind of thing that would be on Burial's version of SAW vol. 2...

>>72868438

>Fantano

He took a pretty big shit on Rival Dealer when it came out, and rightly so, only the title track was any good.

On the bright side, compared to these 2, Young Death sounds like a total banger now.

First track was trash, but i dig Beachfires more than anything in Young Death

Wow, unexpected!!!!

I think I would actually quite like this style from burial if he fleshed it out a little more, went a bit less minimalistic. There's potential for a change of course for him here, it could be pretty good.

This one is pretty forgettable, and too short imo for this style. Needs a third track, make it a good 25-30 minutes.

>>72868848
this is pretty bad ambient, don't give me that shit

beachfire is the best thing he's done since kindred and it's slightly above average dark ambience.

someone tell this dumbass to go back and make some broken drums again.

It's an alright release, but it would be so much better if he combined the drumless rhythmics of the first tracks with the atmosphere of Beachfires.

>>72869705
*the first track
wew

Will obviously started going off the deep end at Rival Dealer

this isn't that bad. a very nuanced soundscape that is new coming from burial but also a little familiar with the vocals.

I like it way more than his last single and that one-off thing he did for the label that wasn't hyperdub. I like the he didn't go into the direction that people were predicting he'll go after them.

>>72867615
>>72867687
Truant/Rough Sleeper is probably my favourite Burial relese ever.

>>72867458
This has some sort of potential.
Ambient blues perhaps?

I'd go so far as to say this is his first fully "meh" release

Why does /mu/ insist on having such extreme opinions?

Is Will trolling us? This is Garbage. I will argue for Burial on every release for why its his best work yet -- but this ain't even got a beat, this ain't even got anything it's literally just sample meterial. Congrats for the producers of future garage out there -- you get stock burial sounds.

>>72871501
so what's the draw? It's got no pulse, no hook, no melody, no harmony it's just noise.

>>72871535
it draws from a different aspect of Burial's music. Yes this is a teaser EP with ostensibly lesser quality music for Burial's standard. But you gotta appreciate the fact that he's exploring new ground. In this instance, it's dark ambient and field recordings, which are genres that we've known for a while now that Burial would be able to pull off.

They're also genres that require a bit more focus and less searching for "hooks" and "melodies", by far. It's about the vibe, man. listen to Hazard - Wood

>>72871619
My issue isn't the fact it's ambient (I've wanted Burial to do a completely ambient release for years in fact) but rather that these two tracks are rather boring and not really suited to a 12" 2 track vinyl release release.

This kind of music works better at least as a 30 min+ EP and preferably, a full-length LP. At least then, your brain isn't treating it like a Burial banger and you can get absorbed in the sound more.

>>72871535
so you've listened to no music from the past 20-30 years huh

just antiquated shit huh

>>72868002
Truth are so underrated imo, they released some solid stuff on Firepower a few years ago

did burial give up with record deals and get his own soundcloud?

why would bleep bloop artists even bother with labels anymore? everyone is on bandcamp

jesus christ, I guess ST and Untrue were really just flukes.

>>72867667

>>72872328
Are these kind of music considered good? I could make something like this in 3 minutes.
Stop being so fucking pretentious.

I actually appreciate it for what it is. The second track is gorgeous to be honest. The first one is very skeletal but I like the experimentation anyway. It sounds like reading music. Although these tracks would have worked much better in an ambient LP. Kind of pointless to release these on vinyl. If this is the kind of stuff he is releasing on vinyl then I am sure he not making music at all these past few years.

>>72872532
No you can't. You have no idea how fucking hard it is to come up with two perfect chords with the right texture that have the repeat value for years.

>>72872280
I was pondering this same theory too. I think Burial caught a wave at the right time, right on the cusp of the beginning dubstep at and at the tail end of the UK Garage scene, and what really got him the extra boost was his unique sampling technique. I remember back in the day how everyone would talk about the innovation and complexity of his vocal manipulation, now that is par for the course in trap, EDM, Pop -- but to burial that type of thing was not new to him since he was exposed to the underground garage for a long time where sampling and warping r&b vocals was common.

Basically he put together the atmosphere-creating sound design of jungle/breakbeat with the r&b(which was the relatable bit that made him have mass appeal). I think it was indeed a fluke and burial has no idea what got him his acclaim, and now he's just making music disregarding the ingredients that got him where he is, which was basically borderline alt pop with syncopated rhythms and melancholic sound design with a touch of classical/romatic grandiose/religious music in the harmonies(I'm thinking the chord progression he samples in archangel from Metal Gear)

>>72872598
this

>>72872606
i just dont get how he got that insanely good production in burial

it sounds like pop music tier of production, as in it sounds like a multi million dollar production record or something

i cant just be good samples. i wonder what vsts does he use.

>>72872606
>>72872280

I wouldn't say anything by Burial is "flukey". He basically pioneered future garage and explores themes that I haven't ever heard any other artist do. However for me, getting into Burial wasn't even to do with dubstep; I got into it on the pure emotion that nothing else seems to match.

I don't really hear anything out right now that sounds like him. Anything that tries to sound like Burial usually comes across as cheap lo-fi 2-step woodblock imitation music.

people who actually like Burial like the emotional quality of the music. people who """"like"""" Burial only like his Untrue sound, and they still want to hear it. He's moved on.

>>72872739
his recent stuff just sounds uninspired; like he's someone else trying to emulate his own sound. maybe it's because Untrue was actually novel for its time. maybe it's because there are too many Burial clones that he can't distinguish himself from them

these textures are so fuckin tactile I love it

Beachfires is pretty good

GET THE FUCK OUT PLEB

What intrigues me most is the fact that /bleep/ is the same 60 people each time and there are never any UKgarage/whateveryouwanttocallit threads but Burial releases something and you all jump on it.

Is it because no one listens to anything else apart from the overhyped essentials or you've tried lots of similar music and think he is still the best?

>>72875702
/bleep/ is a shithole

>>72875702

I like it, as someone who mostly listens to ambient/drone this is nice, very urban and gritty atmosphere.

I do think Bevan did the whole garage/dubstep thing better but if this is the new direction I can dig it.

>>72875702

This is probably the best thing he ever did btw:

/mu/ just picks 2 or 3 artists from a genre and circlejerks over them

No, because Temple Sleeper sounds like one of those early EP era tunes after Untrue.
It was probably something Blackdown had on hand and he was like "Yo Will mind if I put this out?" and Will is like "yea ok go for it"

It's bad? What is it that makes ambient music good then?

all the plebs in this thread who cant into ambient

this release is perfectly good and im happy for it. ive been enjoying his more ambiently shit lately so this is more fuel to the fire for me. im just patiently waiting for a full length at this point. also would be nice if there was a compilation release of all his older shit unreleased and tracks w four tet and massive attack on one comp
