burial combined the dude from kim k's sex tape and playstation music to create the most emotionally stirring song of 2007

[edennp]

and this is why he’s one of the greatest samplers of all time

[prod.icemarisso]

Combining R&B Acapella and Metal Gear music. Absolutely genius

[a.w_.]

This dude made this album in SOUNDFORGE which is essentially like making an album in Audacity, just dragging .wavs around

[painauchocolate]

Burial is like the J Dilla of dubstep. Godly understanding of timing and the layering skills of a fine fine baker.

0:48 when that 2 step garage break beat comes in my heart warms up

[SpanishLMMD]

I've only just noticed he cut and pasted the samples in such a way he simply created the word belong with it 🤯

[gtabro]

Wow I have even more respect for Burial now. Also I don't think I've seen Tracklib make a pitch shift video thus far? In any case respect for the breakdown

[spamytv]

This just the type of song that surpasses time

[unverifiedusername]

Been a fan of these videos for a while but the fact that you’ve now done a Burial tune — particularly THIS Burial tune — has made this my favourite channel on YouTube. Thank you. Incredible work.

Lost my shit when I saw "Opening Infiltration". Just the music playing over my headphones as I exclaimed "METAL GEAR!?" with enough gusto that David Hayter probably sneezed as the universe though I was talking about him. Love the videos! Keep it up!

[mattiatorre]

Imagine doing a masterpiece of a record like this with only Sound Forge... Burial is amazing

[johntucker]

I heard the Ray Jay original not long ago - not knowing where Burial got it from - and honestly that “could it be alone” freaked me out, even though I heard it I couldn’t believe it

[friction]

So much work must go into these videos, they're great!!!

[RadioStereo]

This album started a whole new genre of music. Insane

[Bestavashvili]

Damn it’s unbelievable how good this sample was put down

[tiafgorod]

Dramatic orchestra + RnB pop vocal = immaculate vibes.
BURIAL IS A GENIUS.

[Calebhohfilms]

this is exactly what it feels like to discover your own melody as you chop a sample. 10/10 tracklib

[somecitrus]

This type of sampling with pitch shifting is so fucking fun, it’s like making a collage with analog filters and edits

[dylanimo]

When I say I love dubstep, I mean this kind of dubstep. Dark, psychedelic & ethereal.
