Deffo watch out for Benga IMO. Don't know their names but some of his recent output has been incredible. Love that 4x4 thing with the like white noise slidy whistle thingy.

From a producers point of view this year i think it's just about carving your sound. i'm trying to refine my style and get my kind of sound sorted...people will respect you more also if you're not a rip off merchant

i think you should just do what you like and try different stuff and it will inherently sound like you no matter what you're doin

That track is big. If anyone wants to hear it, it probably is still up on Burial's myspace page.

Edit: Nevermind, it isn't anymore, but it is coming out on vinyl on LIVE recordings on February 5th. It's not a Burial record though it's a Jamie Woon record. Tracklisting:

A: Wayfaring Stranger
A1: Gravity

B: Wayfaring Stranger (Burial remix)
B1: Wayfaring Stranger (Stitch remix)

i don't mean to be rude, but this sounds like the dubstep version of the type of tracks that made a lot of people stop listening to drum n bass...

i'm very wary of a trend for dubstep remixes / version-ing but i don't really think this track fits into what would be bad about that. it's very well done in my opinion.

interestingly this is the first track burial has made using logic.

when i first heard the burial remix, i REALLY didn't like it. hated the drums etc, thought they lacked the organic sound that burial had shown on the album

but now, i love it, probs one of my fave tracks of the minute. it's definitely a grower!

He hasn't really lost his signature sound at all. The drums on this are brilliant, less of the woodblock sound that he favoured before, snares are extremely compact... if you've heard the original Jamie Woon version of this track (ie- follow the link from Blackdown for a youtube video) then you can see the amount of alteration Burial's achieved, he's obviously de-bluesified the melody by contextualising it against darker, more cinematically evocative chords. The other remix doesn't do this and sounds much closer to the original.

i thought the burial remix of jamie woon was really great. I didn't think it had lost anything of what the album had, in fact i think it bodes well for his second album. Does anyone know whether that is coming out sometime this year? Also, on a burial related aside, can anyone tell me whether that tune on his myspace (www.myspace.com/burialuk) a new or an old tune? thanks

'unite' is a new tune. a couple of djs have it on dub.

all i know is that the album is being worked on currently. it's release will depend on when it's finished i guess.

I know some people seem to argue that Burial would be best served only making one album (from a kind of theory/mythos point of view) but I actually think that he's got a lot more to develop, especially given that the tracks and remixes which have surfaced since have all been uniformly excellent (ie Crackle Blues remix, Versus, Wayfaring Stranger Remix, Unite) and are better than some of the lesser tracks on the album (ie- more texturally and rhythmically involving)... ultra excited by the prospect of a new album...

Totally agree. Versus in particular.

As for this putting people off dubstep - one of the reasons I stopped listening to drum n bass was that there wasn't enough interesting cross pollenation like the Wayfaring Stranger remix. Agree with gek-opel all that tech step just got tedious.

The ambience in this tune really reminds me of some of those music/image cityscape shots in Michael Mann's Miami Vice. Also actually think he really goes in on the uber-Ghost compressed snare thing here, like a Nude tune maybe, where as on the LP the sonics are a little more sprawling on the drums.

Brilliant stuff.
