Massive Attack
Sounds pretty much like you'd expect it to
which is a good thing in this case! Like the decision to make these tracks super long aswell, really suits the style
I agree.
To me it just sounds like a solo Burial track. I don't know if Four Walls is a remix of an unreleased track, like Fatalism from the Heligoland Remixes EP, or a new track, but whatever it is, I like it.
TWENTY FIVE QUID?
Pass.
*TWENTY FIVE QUID?
I'll be downloading this then.
this sounds like it will be great!
I thought I might like to purchase it when I heard it
despite it (needless to say) sounding like every Burial track ever. He needs to create some new sound effects. Anyway then I saw how much it was.
Having said that it makes sense given that it's limited to 1000 copies. It's about as much as it'd be going for on ebay...
You're totally right.
Somewhere towards the end of Four Walls you can hear the exact same sound as in the beginning of Fostercare. But whatever, he makes great music, and this is no exception.
I kinda like the track thats streaming
not enough to go ape shit and go right and buy it, feels like its going to be one you have to sink into for some time and I'm not sure thats going to happen since this will prob sell out pretty swift. Plus I've not really been a fan of Massive Attack for years they've been kinda bad for ages. Saying that I'm not a fan of Four Tet and I really like his Burial colabs. So I might get into it more yet. Any Burial is better than nowt.
quite liking it. just got the press release if anyone wants the full info

"nothing disturbs me more than a rabid Burial fan"
gotta love him
I've just bought it.
Mind you, I bought the Warp 20th anniversary box set thing. What a plum.
Hope Sandoval on vocals as well
Nice stuff
I thought it was here on vocals.
She has a really beautiful voice, IMHO.
*her.
The ^This was a mistake, apologies.
Excellent music to escape between "four walls"
in the dark. :x
I'm confused
What have Massive Attack contributed to this? I dont know how this collaborative stuff works.
Nice track though.
I think this is just a Burial remix of an unreleased track.
I might be wrong, though.
BUMP.
I've heard that there will be a digital release of this very soon. Does anyone know if that's true?
'Paradise Circus’ was debuted on Mary Anne Hobbs’ XFM show
