Album Description: 2007 sophomore release from the UK's mysterious and much-acclaimed Burial. Of all the artists past and present who claim to let their music do their talking for them, Untrue, is a record of weird Soul music, which lovingly processes spectral female voices into vaporized R&B and smudged two-step garage. Vocal lines are blurred, smeared, pitched up pitched down and pitch bent until their content is cast adrift from their original context and they whisper their saccharin sweet nothings into the void. Forget central heating -- the radioactivity of this album is all that you'll need to keep you warm this winter.

Rating: - Great sounds, somewhat one-track
Slightly too technical. There are few good ideas, but unfortunately the whole album is repeating itself. Although the album is probably meant to serve completely different realms of style, surprisingly the vocals and beats composition remind me of nineties beginning house style. I'm not sure if we are far enough to recycle that already. I don't know about the composer(s), but there is a strong sense of youth in it. Whoever they are, they are young. But please, I do not regret this buy.
Rating: - Tradition revitalised...
If you like your Electronica served chilled and with the same artistic level as the likes of The Orb, Higher Intelligence Agency, Plaid, Future Sound of London or Boards of Canada.... then you can't go wrong with this album. Fear not, buy it.

There was once, a long time ago, a cd called The Orb's Adventures Beyond The Ultra World. Well, ever since I did not hear any cd that came close to the fantasy and imaginative way of making music like that.
It is like reading a good book and in this book i see before me a little human.
This little person is carving his very own cathedral in a distant place and underground where no one could find him. A beautyful cave it has become made from grey'ish marble where the material doesn't reflect so much the bright source of light that seems to be coming from nowhere.

Rating: - Blues for the next millenium
Burial is coming out of nowhere. He's publicity-shy, he's not touring and he concerns himself primarily with his beats. The palette is parsimonious: all is very sparse, but it never feels bare or cheap. Clearly, there are lots of influences here. Whereas the previous album was a nice crossover of dub, Drum & Bass, and Boards of Canada (!?), this one has an almost trance and garage feeling with eurotrash voices coming from another planet. There are echoing synthesizers that seem lifted from AFX Ambient Classic II and early Autechre (say, Garbage). The album is infectious and almost danceable ... Read More
