Really liking this trancey, over the top side of Burial. The harsh techno ending of 'Boy Sent From Above' reminds me of Clark's 'Turning Dragon', which is a huge compliment.
This most definitely seems like a compilation of good leftovers from different Actress phases, but I think that's why I totally love it. 'Its me' is such an amazing and feelgood tune from Actress, my favourite. Only thing I don't get is all the virus talk, it's a bit annoying honestly. Is it like a reference to the pandemic?
Also: He's done it again, LP one from four is announced - the 'Ardkore' version slaps hard: https://specialrequest187.bandcamp.com/album/what-time-is-love-sessions
This slaps so hard. One of these LPs I could put on and on again after it finishes. Love the way the tracks roll into each other and honestly 'Feel The Same' is one of the best tracks this year for sure, closely followed by 'E-Mosh' and 'Room With A View'.
Edit: Someone here from Substance days lol?
Bandcamp: 'The Scandal of Time [...] might also be his most advanced, forward-facing work in years.' - SOLD haha
And oh my the Scotch Egg collab is so mind-bending:
You guys and gals should be way more enthusiastic about this. Proper stripped down ClarkTM banger versions of the LP somewhere between Totems Flare and Boddy Riddle. I'm reaaally liking this except the ambient ending, which is not bad but just like Clark's film music not for me.
This is kind of a stylistic question and I am pretty sure intentional as he is a true master of sound design.
'Blizzards' and 'Providence' is where he lost me, but with 'Crystal Vision' he's got my heart back and these rough workouts are just so much fun.
Nathan Fake: "Guiro started out as a laugh and then became something more serious. Further exploration into lo-fi hi-energy electronic music utilising cheap drum sounds and state of the art(?) DSP. This whole EP is something a bit different for me, harder and more playful than Crystal Vision I'd say but still cut from the same cloth."
Too lazy to open a new thread, but he dropped some fire stuff in the meantime. Reminds me a bit of 'Hard Islands', just modernized and way more stripped down.
Edit: Thanks for not implementing BC Links automatically lol https://nathanfake.com/album/guiro-ep
That was supposed to be a poor joke, but a lot of 'esoteric' stuff is indeed more real to me than hard science. Anyway who cares - I just want to make sure not to offend anyone
