This IS a collaboration. I actually picked up a copy at my local record store today for 12.99. Not bad.

@Paul, from what I gather a lot of the crackle and noise seems like it’s actually recorded.

Listening to it now, and it IS a collaboration. Very nice too……I just wish whoever ripped it had cleaned the record first ! :o)

i found a copy, but like i said, i’m not sure if they’ll pull through or not. like how many records were pressed? i’m skeptisch that all distros will be able to cough up seeing as it’s not even out yet. i reckon in a lot of cases it’ll be the case of only a handful of shops/distros would get limited stock in. who knows?!

and yes, i totally agree with your vinyl fetish talk.

I never even knew this record existed while all you guys were complaining about it, but now i’ve got a copy, you’ve just gotta have a little search, there’s plenty of places that still have copies! This is my first net blog, i’ve always been put off by the fact that its only people complaining that write anything, but here I am being a hypocrite.
If you don’t like burial why are you here? The same can be said for vinyl. I’m a vinyl head, but i still appreciate the benefits of MP3. And its not like these tunes aren’t gonna be all over the web in less than a week!
Call me a fool, but I never understood MP3 mixing, vinyl just makes sense when you’re blending those tunes. You can see the grooves and feel the beat! And who needs a thousand songs for a set? Restraint breeds creativity. And nothing can beat that sound!
But I still love my hard drive full of thousands of tunes I’d never had heard if it weren’t for digital music!
Much respect to Burial and Four Tet for making so many sick tunes!

hype.
After listening to the soundclips on juno, it sounds like I didn’t miss out on much. Im sure copies will show up on discogs and ebay as soon as it hits the streets…
and 4tet may not have the “Drexciyian” levels of hype that Burial has, but he’s up there…

When are you gonna start covering weird electronic music that’s “somewhat” under the hipster radar?

Juno records posted a couple audio clips of the album.

Definitely sounds like a collaboration. I’m really liking what I hear. Hopefully they’ll release it digitally so we won’t have to listen to someone’s scratchy vinyl rip.

so.. preorders suck. for real. what’s the chances that after knocking in some preorder action, then finding out on its release date that you’re not actually lucky enough to get hold of a copy?

i’m looking forward to hearing it, either way. hyped or not.
