Some of it doesn't flow too well though. The track just stops and then a new part comes up.

I agree, parts of it sound like half-baked ideas that totally halt the flow of it, but the parts that hit are better than anything else he's done I think.

Digging: The-Dream - IV Play

I know this is kind of a cop-out, but honestly it's not meant to flow well. That's the point. He's obviously actively pursuing this kind of concept of a disjointed bag of ideas. He makes it work in such a unique and satisfying way though (for me anyway) that removes all the negative connotation that comes with saying a record is disjointed or not fleshed-out.

Bevan is a genius and always gets away with whatever the hell he wants, and this EP is no different (in my opinion!).

he already has. It's called "Untrue" and it is the soundtrack to living in London.

Rough Sleeper is probably one of his best songs. Truant wishes it was on its level.

like the first 4 minutes or so of rough sleeper is amazing, but then it goes on a tangent into some
territory i didn't really dig at all. and truant was decent but not as good. that's the thing about
burial, there's a lot of great moments but sometimes his ideas don't flow that well for me.
