Ok. I know I’m probably the last man on earth to learn about this (no I know I’m not the last man but it’s an expression, get up with the lingo grandpa) but I just bought the Burial 2007 album Untrue of iTunes… It’s so good! You all should really have a listen!
There’s a pretty strange thing about Burial. When I was in London for the first time, in 1997, I bought a magazine called Muzic. It was a magazine covering electronic and dance music. When you bought the magazine you got a free tape (yes tape! I’ll probably have it around here somewhere…) and on that tape there was a track very reminiscent of what I have in my head-phones right now. I’m not saying that the Burial CD sounds dated, quite the opposite, I’m saying that it sounds, to me very London, generally very English. And that’s a good thing.
First Jonathan Johansson then this. Either I’m opening up to music in a way that I haven’t done in a while or I’ve just struck a patch of musical finding luck.
