mp3 samples for download here
just listened to them. do you not find this stuff a bit boring? same bass/snare noise throughout, boring beat etc. i can't help feeling this sort of music is made for people who still can't get over how low the bass goes on their stereo
'h e a v y, man...'
edit: I've had Pop Pop VIP on all morning and love it. Fickle hypocrite alert...

i got a copy of ghost/lion on the strength of gutterbreakz's ravings/boomkats review but realised id already heard it on a j da flex cd (free with deuce).i like it but i can't understand why it gets bare props when Burial's South London Burroughs (similar sonic ingredients) nary a mention.
By the way, whatever happened to Deuce magazine(some great cd's )?
i would have thought the market was just right for a UKG/grime mag at that point???
was the agent x cd cover the last one??

the album is totally phenomenal. i'm not bored by it all. i wow every time it rattles my head. the bass and noise splinters reminds me of zan lyons' work. 'thunder' is unreal.
the first defining album of the scene. the cd format will inevitably push the sound forward in terms of access, the label will undoubtedly expose the sound to a different group of dance music fans. ultimately a landmark release. punishing peers and destroying boundaries, pushing them forward.
i think the DMZ, Hyperdub activity is more innovative but the vex'd still offers something. perhaps operating slightly outside of what dubstep has now evolved to be.
i like it and i know all about how low the bass goes on my stereo. I give South London Burroughs props too and looking forward to another Burial release.

I would consider part of this to be down to Vex'd releases on substatic being the first releases (by about 6 months) to get any form of distribution. I still think the first two twelves were the best they have done, but am interested to hear the album.
As for Burial, the twelve has only been available for about 4 months, less so on the likes of boomkat, who I would expect were involved in tipping the heads that this would sell. Give it some time. Kode 9 + Daddi Gee's work gets huge props from everyone I know who has heard it.
South London Burroughs is available thru Boomkat i bought it in Pelikanneck( their "physical" shop). I recon the reason it didn't get as much support from Boomkat customers as Vex'd is that the website blurb didn't mention Aphex Twin-simple as that!
however South London Burroughs would appeal to Tron bods as it has a similar dub sesibility as the Basic Channel records (i'd be VERY suprised if they hadn't heard em).
is this EP the only thing Burial have done?

Yes, it is the first thing Burial have done. And it has only been out a few months (it took boomkat a couple of weeks after it was in London shops to get it in stock). I feel for those who have been aware of it, it is great, just it hasn't sold all 500 (?) pressings yet.
As for vex'd - it was the first thing listed on boomkat as grime / their kind of grime sound. That helped it shift quite quickly I would think.

Of course the Vex'd album is a mindfuck (I'll be reviewing it just as soon as I can summon the necessary language required) but I rate that Burial EP too!

The free Deuce mix CD I want is the Sublow Selections one from 2002-3. Unfortunately all back issues appear to be gone and I've never seen it anywhere (even for download.)
