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.

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.

I'm confused

What have Massive Attack contributed to this? I dont know how this collaborative stuff works.

Nice track though.

Huggy_Bear | 11 Oct '11, 13:16 | X | ^ This | Reply
- 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?
