chenGOD Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Just grabbed this - really hope the digital files are cleaner. As to the music itself - pretty much more of the same - but that's lovely. A little bit of subtle progressions here and there. Proper full length to follow? Exciting :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xy_politics Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Got my 12 today. All the surface noise and distortion seem to me to be in the original track. You can hear reverb on some of the pops and clicks. I wouldn't expect the digital release to sound any different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenGOD Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 It's a little overdone on the first track (in my opinion of course). After a couple of listens, "NYC" probably edges it out for my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaini Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 there's a v0 out there now with the same distortion on side A so the problem is definitely with the pressing :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chassis Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I thought it was supposed to be like that. I mean, its Burial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaini Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 no, there's a difference between delicious crackle and horrible clipping. compare the A/B sides on a decentish set of speakers, because only the A has the problem. the delay releasing the mp3s kinda confirms this, because i reckon it was probably ripped from a master vinyl.

jules Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 why would the files be ripped from vinyl for the digital release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaini Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 i'm just guessing with that one, but V2 having an over-loud side A and V0 also having this problem points to a problem with the press not the rip. so it's not that big a jump to suppose the delay in release of digitals is due to similar.

chenGOD Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Yeah I grabbed the flacs and it is noticeably louder on the "A" side... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
posture Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Now that I've had the weekend to listen to this, I still stand by my initial impressions that NYC is the best track, and this is a great ep. Hungry for more. On a side note I hate RNB and yet love burials use of vocals. +1 I agree with NYC I think if I was Burial, track wise, I'd have NYC after Stolen Dog, I think they flow better that way. For some reason my phone keeps playing it that way, I usually forget I left shuffle on and put street halo first, then stolen dog comes on and then NYC lol. It does flow better in a way.

Guest MortstoX Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Dear Mr Burial. I like your music and all, but do you have to use the same beats, sound-effects, samples and helium vocals over and over and over and over again? Score: 5.3/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impakt Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 It's kind of his sound, I wouldn't want him to change it too much :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 dubstep would be so much cooler with banjos and pan flutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MortstoX Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 It's kind of his sound, I wouldn't want him to change it too much :) Well, I'm glad mr RDJ didn't stick to "his sound" from 1994 or so. I don't want him to change too much, but I think he is a talented guy, and would like him to experiment just a little. dubstep would be so much cooler with banjos and pan flutes. James Blake is saving that for his second album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awepittance Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 i'd forgotten how much fake vinyl record effect he uses on his own music until i listened to this ep, . probably the only Burial thing i've liked besides his first self titled album. I like his use of vocals on this much better than on untrue still by far probably the most listenable artist on Hyperdub, i'm really tired of the forced 8bit bubbly dubstep sound their label seems to be all about these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acid1 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I enjoy the vinyl effects... the super high pitched popping and the low sub bass, its cotton swabbing my ears. Its almost a binaural effect. But yeah I'm not too fond of the rest of hyperdub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awepittance Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 i wonder if he's sampling actual vinyl surface noise like mr oizo or using a plugin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GORDO Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 when i heard those sounds I asummed it was just because it's a (bad) vynil rip. so he actually puts those sounds in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awepittance Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 judging by the way his other stuff sounds most likely, i remember even the CD version of his first self titled lp being pretty scratchy sounding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerv Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 i've read he uses many sources for the vinyl surface noise, including fire crackle and other similar sounding phenomena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acroyear Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Richard James sounded way better in '94. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budoc Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 MP3s and WAVs are now available on the Hyperdub website. I'm currently at work, so I cannot listen to the samples and compare the quality of Street Halo to the vinyl rip. If anyone does download from here then please let me know if there is a difference in quality, and how the MP3s are encoded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MortstoX Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Richard James sounded way better in '94. Yep. But we would have missed a lot of goodies if he only released new SAWs or ABBs after 94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
