Rating: ecstatic This record left our Ant feeling ecstatic.

I've just whacked the new Burial CD on for the second time after really enjoying listening to it yesterday. I was into the EP he did on Hyperdub a bit ago so I was well up for checking this out. I really, really like this a lot. The vibe is heavilly dubbed out, futuristic and sinister. The production is fat as hell, the percussion is crisp and shuffles along fantastically, the deep basslines are sick and the whole atmosphere the sounds create is just dark as hell. The vocals that creep into some of the tracks are dead powerful but its the appearance of The Space Ape on two of the tracks that is the highlight for me. There's an oriental / eastern vibe running through a couple of the tracks and so if you were feeling the last Kode 9 release on Hyperdub then this is a huge recommendation. Proper headgear.

What the label says:

Now finally bowing to widespread and sustained demand, Hyperdub will issue a specially re-tooled vinyl edition, available for a strictly limited period. With the DJ in mind, optimum sonic integrity has been maintained by removing the CD version's beatless opening and closing tracks, and the remaining 11 tunes have been re-sequenced and re-cut to allow those 4 that have until now not appeared on vinyl to be presented in newly-mastered 12-inch-standard audio across the first 2 sides ('Wounder', 'U Hurt Me', 'Spaceape' and 'Prayer'). With both the 'South London Boroughs' and 'Distant Lghts' EPs now out of print and likely to remain that way, this limited edition two-wax pack offers the only way to get your Burial fix in club-ready configuration, but it won't be around for ever as the ever-elusive producer is near to completing his next opus, at which point this changes tense from present to past.
