The music itself isnt personified by Burial’s pacey beats and ambient bass background as such. instead usually dealing in reverb drenched beats that follow similar patterns but are half the speed of most of those on ‘untrue’, speaker-stack bass quakes that sound like someone fed the sound of a bus engine through a wah pedal; dark-sounding and nearly always minor-key, sometimes glitchy synths and distant, airy vocal samples that sound like ghots of a half-remembered rave. What burial has done is take the dark, ambient feel of dubstep records, married it to faster jungle-style beats and created his own, almost ecstatic version of dubstep that feels like finding a hole at the end of a long, dark tunnel. It’s my favourite album of 2007, and yes I am aware of how much this looks like a review
