2025 and it feels like this banger will come out in about 10 years time

[hadrien]

Why does this feel like future music that is forever unreachable? Like some dystopian fever dream

The metal gear solid bullet casings on the ground sample get me me every time.

The year is 2020, and this man still needs Melvin.

The other day I was watching tv on cartons network at mid night and Crunchyroll and they use this master piece in the background and I said buriiial yeah jajjjj

burial defines the beginning of a new unpredictable cycle in music with a cyberpunk-esque atmosphere without the hauntological clichés going against any cheap tricks of the fall of capitalism and uses only pure originality on each second of his eerie yet hopeful pieces.

Incredibly nuanced and detailed cityscape and atmosphere. Glittering lights of the metropolitan city

Future music for the jilted generation of the dark dub culture. This guy is just so far out there, he can't be touched. Unique. The best music floating for a long time.

All I know is that no other album encapsulates my life in ( not so much Britain as a whole but ) London better than this one ... ( this might sound pompous ) my nocturnal, introspective space in particular .
A milestone in music, this is .

Love that trumpet sound that begins around minute 1:00, just elevates this so much

What a monster of a track, first time listening to a Burial project properly. I was introduced to Burial via a music review of The Weeknd’s Trilogy album a few years ago. The music critic mentioned that the album had some Burial influences (I know that Illangelo is a fan of Burial from his Soundcloud) and so I now I’m here. This is amazing lol.

Imagine listening this music back in 2005...

[jasmina_ollee]

I don't know how about you. But this is so so calming.

[helenaorlenko]

I like to listen Burial's tracks in rainy days, it's fkin PERFECT 😍

[gizmobrooch]

This sounds like what robo tripping feels like

[chugnutz]

When Kode 9 dropped that album mix on Radio 1 🤯

Burial's debut album is as good as Untrue and it doesn't get the love it deserves. It dives through darker moods, but it's equally pure and emotional.

Guys I don’t really dive deep into the “what samples he uses” hunt but I swear on my life, I hear some Donkey Kong country sounds from the snowy levels :O
