TwoMonthsInTheCold: Can Someone Explain Burial Please

TwoMonthsInTheCold 12.22.12	I just don't get Burial. help plz
Sleaper 12.22.12	His stuff reminds me of some really rad fashion show music.. its just super chill but cool.
FictionalFlames 12.22.12	you're not obligated to like his music........
jefflebowski 12.22.12	fashion show music?
TwoMonthsInTheCold 12.22.12	I'm just wondering why everyone does. I'm listening to Truant / Rough Sleeper now and I don't understand the appeal.
slipnslide 12.22.12	If you don't listen to electronic in general then i think burial would be a bit of a hard starting point.
TwoMonthsInTheCold 12.22.12	I don't listen to electronic stuff at all haha. Any recs?
Sleaper 12.22.12	flying lotus... easiest entry for electronic taste
anarchistfish 12.22.12	dude do you even know how to city-vibe?
anarchistfish 12.22.12	must be a country boy
Havey 12.22.12	We're all pretending to like Burial when Dev is around, it's called ban evasion
FictionalFlames 12.22.12	lol
TwoMonthsInTheCold 12.22.12	I do fucking live in the country as well hahaha
anarchistfish 12.22.12	"If you don't listen to electronic in general then i think burial would be a bit of a hard starting point." dunno I first got into him when I mostly still just listened to rock truant/rough sleeper is a bad place to start off though. and it's best to listen to his stuff through earphones to get all the details that make the music truly incredible as well as completely immerse yourself into it. although listening off vinyl gives a pretty stunning experience too, apparently. it can take a bit of time to get into it but a lot of the best music does unlike skrillex
Satellite 12.22.12	2 fuck yeah
RiffOClock 12.22.12	explaining transcendence? fuckin lol
stranger 12.22.12	thought baseline killed himself :/
TwoMonthsInTheCold 12.22.12	Okay cheers Anarchist haha
wacknizzle 12.22.12	Awesome profile picture lmao.
TwoMonthsInTheCold 12.22.12	Cheers c;
treeqt. 12.22.12	it's really deep and thus obviously 5/5
OneMoreRoland 12.22.12	I started with Kindred. Don't listen through a laptop or anything stupid like that.
Anthracks 12.22.12	stop forcing yourself to like something just because other people do. there. burial explained.
Anthracks 12.22.12	it's not like it's deep music its incredibly repetitive background music
Sleaper 12.22.12	"incredibly repetitive background music" exactly.
RiffOClock 12.22.12	open ur mind cmon ugh
OneMoreRoland 12.22.12	"incredibly repetitive background music" no
anarchistfish 12.22.12	"it's not like it's deep music its incredibly repetitive background music" ugh
Sleaper 12.22.12	i like it for the reason of being repetitive back ground music though
Anthracks 12.22.12	if you listen to burial just to listen to it and do nothing else i feel sorry for your life. you can't argue that it isn't repetitive
YankeeDudel 12.22.12	I like burial but I dont see what the big deal is about him. He makes some good tunes and I guess he was influential in dubstep/future garage or whatever the fuck he makes but yea dont see why hes put on a pedestal.
Anthracks 12.22.12	let's keep in mind i like burial but let's not be jackasses and pretend the music is enlightening in any way whatsoever
RiffOClock 12.22.12	understand... all im asking u is to understand.................................
anarchistfish 12.22.12	yes I can have you even listened to it? stop saying dumb shit
OneMoreRoland 12.22.12	There are plenty of ways to listen to it. As background music or not, but the most rewarding experience is through headphones.
RiffOClock 12.22.12	through headphones comes knowledge through repetition u will find urself >.>>>>
anarchistfish 12.22.12	it's repetitive in the same way any piece of music is that repeats certain motifs and ideas through a musical structure
MalleusMaleficarum 12.22.12	just put headphones on and make a playlist containing tracks 3-7 from Untrue. repeat approximately 3 times. if you dont get it by then, just quit.
Anthracks 12.22.12	no it's not repetitive in the same way as other music. that claim is absurd. it's the same beat (usually re-used in many songs, as a variation) for 10+ minutes. i like the music. but it is repetitive background music and it is not good for much else.
RiffOClock 12.22.12	well make better dubstep then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anthracks 12.22.12	and headphones don't really sweeten the deal by a humongous amount either. i spent $1,000 on headphones et al and while it's slightly more enjoyable, it doesn't change the actual song as people would like to have you believe. a good song is good despite what you listen through
Anthracks 12.22.12	and clearly you missed the part where i said i really like Burial
RetroSpective 12.22.12	Kindred
Sleaper 12.22.12	totally agreeing with anthraxxx there. some of the things people have said about burial are absurd haha. hes good yeh... but hes not fantastic.
TwoMonthsInTheCold 12.22.12	Some of his beats are very similar/the same. Just look at his new release, it's like the same off-beat thing, and that's one of the drawbacks of his music for me (personally)
anarchistfish 12.22.12	it's not the same fucking beat what are you even on about
RiffOClock 12.22.12	theres only so many boundaries one can push with a single laptop
anarchistfish 12.22.12	itt people who don't pay attention to musical details
TwoMonthsInTheCold 12.22.12	The sound of the main beat on Truant / Rough Sleeper is different but it's still the same kind of syncopated off-beat triplet thing I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT OVER THE INTERNET
Anthracks 12.22.12	you're so delusional it's hilarious
RetroSpective 12.22.12	Uhh you mean the samples?
MalleusMaleficarum 12.22.12	no. stop.
anarchistfish 12.22.12	cos I can discern beats and all the intricacies in the music and you can't? sure, I'll dumb my brain down to fit along yours in future
Aids 12.22.12	I want there to be far fewer people like you existing in the world.
anarchistfish 12.22.12	who's that aimed at
TwoMonthsInTheCold 12.22.12	Anarchist, what do you like about Burial and which release would you suggest I start with?
treeqt. 12.22.12	nice thread
anarchistfish 12.22.12	start with untrue, or kindred. they sound different so you may like one much more than the other and it's really all to do with its gritty dark vibe, clickity beats, distant sounding chopped up vocals and all the other details that define certain songs' own identities. same as all his other fans, really
anarchistfish 12.22.12	honestly I don't care if someone does, doesn't like this guy but the arguments here for people not liking him are just silly
anarchistfish 12.22.12	that doesn't even make any sense
TwoMonthsInTheCold 12.22.12	Alright, cheers man
ITsHxCTOASTER 12.23.12	If you don't like it then don't listen, this is a simple matter
