[music, albums] January 4, 2007 at 12:18:00 AM CET i listened to the burial album and it was a nice surprise. some new sounds. somehow i didn't expect that anymore. very british. dark. dominated by the bass, full of dub, some weird ominous noises. i didn't like the voice samples too much. they seem to wear off quite soon. like with massive attack or tricky who are obvious precursors. i was also thinking of godspeed's lift yr. skinny fists. especially for the oppressive, doomed atmosphere. no tunes really. but space especially whenever there is no rhythm. and a feeling of a place. not sure if i buy that story about a flooded south london from their label though. that sounds so contrived. can this really be a concept album? whatever. people say the genre is called dubstep which has developed from 2step and/or grime. no clue about all that. it passed me by. but i am happy this album didn't. further reading:
as i said before 2006 was pretty much a musical disaster in my ears. so much music out there but hardly anything original and inventive. i miss the old days when there were movements (ok there is this tudor-folk rubbish now but it is so precocious and devoid of any energy). when music was of the moment. nowadays almost everyone is going in different directions and most of these roads have been travelled before more compellingly with less baggage. i hardly would think like that if i were 20 years old. maybe pop/rock music is for 20 year olds and i should slowly say good-bye. on the other hand there is the rejuvenating effect of pop/rock music. that's obviously very tempting for a 43 year old. there is nothing more pop than lying to yourself and believing it. |
