2 A.M., alone, dampness, empty glowing streets after a drizzle or intermittent rain, maybe a cigarette, that's ok; No need any other substance but music to get high, that might be the reason I'm 53 y.o. and most people think I'm 35 🤷♂, plus I didn't got stuck with the music of "my times" like most people do; THIS is my time, I'm still around 🤷♂, always forward. Burial, to me, perfected the soon dried U.K. garage evolution that was dubstep, after two years dubstep became so repetitive and unimaginative and he took the essence of it and mixed with ambient, minimal, dub...and made it interesting again but with his very own sound, there are hundreds trying to imitate what he does but no one sounds exactly like him. Greetings from Buenos Aires 👍👋.
If you still look for more try "Burial - Tunes 2011-2019". It's a massive double-cd mega compilation, containing 7 of his best EPs, almost 2 hours of playtime.
fun fact about this album: Burial sampled bullet casings and reloading sounds from Metal gear solid 1+2 and used it as percussion. Really unique soundscapes on this album. listen to replica by oneohtrix point never!
I think reason the track 'untrue' is the albums name is because it's one of the hardest tracks to enjoy. I think it's meant to be like one of those moments in life that isn't particularly memorable or noteworthy but it makes you feel strong feelings, the kind of feelings you normally 'bury' (sorry if this comment sound pretentious, I can't be bothered to edit anything )
19:27 Yep, you get Burial's sound :) He's from London, btw. Another classic from him is Kindred EP, definitely recommended. It's only 3 tracks but about 30 minutes long so it should be fine for a standalone reaction video
Burial is the best. I want to recommend the "Stoled dog" song/track he made. Its soooooooo goooooood Try listening to him at night, driving back to the place your live or sitting on a night bus. It's such a "night city music". This music is about empty streets, wet walkways that reflect night lights, about loneliness in the night city.
You ask what genre Burial is? Burial is the electronic generation's Mozart. He defined a lot of electronic music especially within dubstep, future garage and electronica. Burial is a composer, all his sounds are made on basic software but deliving the most amazing compositions I have heard. I'm glad you're listening to his things - wait till you learn about the sample he's used, from early TH-cam covers to Beyonce and Usher. Bullet drops, chains, pens, balls dropping and rolling - the soundscape is huge.
Very interesting to see someone being introduced to Burial , especially this record. Me personally I hold this record very close to heart , Burial’s sounds got me through some very hard times.. you pointing out that you don’t really know how to feel when listening to Untrue is exactly what I had first time hearing this , those very odd beat breaks and repeating samples throws you off guard during the entire thing . That’s what’s makes Burials art so unique , I always think he actually wants you to find out your own imagination while listening to his music. Sorry for any grammar mistakes English isn’t my first language. Really enjoyed your reaction
The background behind this album and how it was concepted is very interesting to me. How it barely took him effort to craft, yet how intricately he layers and samples on each song is just so alluring to me. Definitely recommend looking into it one day if you haven’t already
Excellent pick. Vapor City by Machinedrum is another great one with a similar vibe, maybe a little more structured than Burial. And of course my eternal request, Fever Ray's debut album, Fever Ray 🧙🏻♀
Try 'The knife - Silent shout'. Very moody, Scandinavian electronic act. Eerie, beautiful, scary voice modulated pop. Was in many album of the year polls back in the 00's.
The string section in Archangel, is a sample from the opening sequence from Metal Gear Solid 2...Burial takes a lot of his influence in samples from gaming. The bullets falling in Near Dark are from MGS1. Genius.
i listened to this album when i was in london visiting my ex. i'm from florida and used to the heat and sunshine, so the UK and city of london was the complete opposite. it captured a very specific mood for me: dark grey skies, damp november air, night city lights, underground trains -- it's a heartbreaking album really given the right setting when you listen to it. don't get me wrong i love london and i wanna go back desperately, but this album captures the depressing atmosphere you find in most big cities at night.
Walk around a rough part of London on a cold night, or any urban area in the UK really, and you feel this album. I've never found an album that perfectly captures a scene like this before, and I'm not sure I ever will again. I could write a whole thesis on this.
There really is nothing quite like this album out there. Burial is an absolutely unique artist and I've been listening to him for 13 years now without tiring. If you feel like diving deeper into his cosmos I highly recommend checking out his Tunes 2011-2019. It's two and a half hours, so you need to be in the right mood, but it is an amazing compilation/mega-album that takes most of his solo work from this time and rearranges it into one cohesive listening experience which really feels like it tells a greater narrative. It starts out with his more recent stuff and the first half hour is basically just ambient, and then it goes into his more "classical" sound with banger after banger. He originally released all this as a bunch of EPs and singles, so when Tunes 2011-2019 finally came out, it didn't really make an impact, because all the music was known at this point, but I think it really gives all this stuff a new layer to have it recontextualized like this. And getting to experience all this amazing music for the first time in one go, instead of waiting years and years is quite the privilege, dare I say. So yeah, I highly recommend you check it out when you feel the time is right (preferably at night), you might really enjoy it :)
I agree and like on how you detail every beat! The entire album screams uk future garage type beat and I like it it’s different from what I usually listen especially by myself
Great stuff, gotta suggest his Moth collab with Four Tet too. Also, can i suggest a reaction to Autechre - LP5? You've done Aphex and BoC, and Autechre are absolutely considered one of the greats alongside them, with a mindbending discog. LP5 is a great starting point, imo.
You should 100% listen to “Hoodies All Summer” by KANO if you want more of that contemporary (ish) London sound. It’s a hip hop record but has some of the same kind of UKG / jungle influences. And it’s just a straight masterpiece.
ancient video by internet standards (5 months) but an interesting thing to note is that a lot of little things in this album are taken from the metal gear solid video games
This alblum is so great its very errie but very mellow i fell asleep to this and it worked well also the orchestral sample on archangel is from metal gear
recommendation: 'to be kind' by swans. I don't feel like I should say a single thing about it, because... just check it out. (warning: the album IS 2 hours long, so.....)
Burial's genre is 2AM, Alone, empty orange glow streets - a little dampness in the air. You're tipsy or high - coming down. That's the feeling.
I miss those orange street lights, they've all been replaced around me
@@MaksKuaka amber light supremacy
Sober works best of course

Or depression
Untrue is one the best albums of all time
agreed
i couldn't agree more
Of this century certainly
Perfectly shapes the feeling of how it feels to be a person with a job living in the Uk
If you still look for more try
"Burial - Tunes 2011-2019".

I wish i could rediscover Burial and Untrue. It is still my favourite album of all time, 16 years after.
thank you so much for listening bro. My fav record of all time!!
This album is soo good. Reminds me of one of my fav projects ever “Fever Ray - Fever Ray” album. Very ahead of it’s time.
Excellent pick. Vapor City by Machinedrum is another great one with a similar vibe, maybe a little more structured than Burial. And of course my eternal request, Fever Ray's debut album, Fever Ray 🧙🏻♀
The stuff you said about walking in a city at night is exactly the vibe of this album
Try 'The knife - Silent shout'. Very moody, Scandinavian electronic act. Eerie, beautiful, scary voice modulated pop. Was in many album of the year polls back in the 00's.
one of the best album ever
btw the vocals are literally all samples
THE best album ever
Not my favourite album, But I mean I can agree, still all time favourite for sure, can't deny it, it's perfect@@noel3054
Oh this is one I recommended, wow. All the vocals you hear on this are samples, usually from R&B singers (Beyonce and Ray J, for instance).
The string section in Archangel, is a sample from the opening sequence from Metal Gear Solid 2...Burial takes a lot of his influence in samples from gaming. The bullets falling in Near Dark are from MGS1.
Genius.

I recomand you Julee Cruise - floating into the night. It’s a beautiful blend of dream pop, jazz and ambient, and it’s produced by David Lynch !
reeeal
I also know nothing about this one. Excited to hear it.
very different to this but i would highly recommend swans ‘to be kind’ :)
Seconded thirded and fourthed
One of the best albuns I've heard in my life. Burial's something else, man
Walk around a rough part of London on a cold night, or any urban area in the UK really, and you feel this album. I've never found an album that perfectly captures a scene like this before, and I'm not sure I ever will again. I could write a whole thesis on this.

The vibes on this album are second to none. Truly one of the greatest works of electronic music of all time.
"Sounds big but make you feel small"
Burial heals the soul
Edit: the end of Shell Of Light is the best
A magnificent album. Good to see you checking out some British Urban music.
I agree and like on how you detail every beat! The entire album screams uk future garage type beat and I like it it’s different from what I usually listen especially by myself
Great stuff, gotta suggest his Moth collab with Four Tet too.
Also, can i suggest a reaction to Autechre - LP5?
You've done Aphex and BoC, and Autechre are absolutely considered one of the greats alongside them, with a mindbending discog. LP5 is a great starting point, imo.
I think he's doing his best work now, the Streetlands EP is so spacious and emotive
in rainbows please
Best reaction ever , Subbed to ur channel
Hey a cool fact for u, UK samples #3 by aphex twin, which you might remember from selected ambient works vol 2
etched headplate is insane
it's funny i was in nyc during covid while it was blizzarding and listened to a bunch of burial, cheers.
You should 100% listen to “Hoodies All Summer” by KANO if you want more of that contemporary (ish) London sound. It’s a hip hop record but has some of the same kind of UKG / jungle influences. And it’s just a straight masterpiece.
my favourite album of all time
ancient video by internet standards (5 months) but an interesting thing to note is that a lot of little things in this album are taken from the metal gear solid video games
Burial is wonderful, not my favorite but I have times where it’s the only thing I listen to
Would love to see you check out "Bad Vibes" by Shlohmo.
Has a similar energy to Untrue.
8:48 lmfao taking you through the frequencies of bass
This alblum is so great its very errie but very mellow i fell asleep to this and it worked well also the orchestral sample on archangel is from metal gear
another smags W
I listened that album so many times, that I remembered every vinyl cracking noise placement (no, I'm not have vinyl record, it's backed in tunes)
An album I recommend is Trilogy by Emerson Lake and Palmer
recommendation: 'to be kind' by swans. I don't feel like I should say a single thing about it, because... just check it out. (warning: the album IS 2 hours long, so.....)
Hey, I advise you to check further Burial's discography. I personnally love Come down to us, there's so much about it
stay close by bawo is a uk hip
hop song from 2023 and it samples the end of shell of a light on loop
I wish I could hear this album for the first time again
Homeless is the best track in my opinion, I think it captures the essence of the entire album perfectly
Brother, listen to Ashtray Wasp.
Hiders is on the Rival Dealer Ep which is amazing! ok. Leaving now because this review is rough...
TREMENDO ALBUM NOJODA
U hit that water hard af
U know this album feels quite industrial
Btw listen to Tim Hecker - Virgins :3
This album is "crying in the club rn" for me
just realized but bro has that sigma male type thumbnail
Please listen to Emperor's In the Nightside Eclipse. It's one of the best Black Metal albums I know!
Th man Burial is a genius
A lot of this album must be difficult to process if you're not an android-sadboi.
Big and small light and dark
All the vocals are actually samples, most being shitty youtube covers
Btw I highly suggest the album mista thug isolation by lil ugly mane
Most valid white boi in rap
Burial's Kindred ep (2012) you should give an ear mate !
