Yes, it's pretty and ethereal and enticingly haunted, but it's also just mood music; background stuff, a vibe setter. Something that can put you in a pleasant stupor. Not at the level of actual songcraft he pioneered with Untrue and the Street Halo, Kindred, and Rival Dealer EPs. Come back down to us, B.

back again to say this is prolly my #1 desert island album from the last 10 years and prolly top 5 "experimental" albums ever. unspeakably beautiful and dense and atmospheric beyond belief and deadly emotive in an abstract way

So you also think Albums/EP's like Untrue, Street Halo, Kindred or Truant are embarrassing? Because I can totally get not liking his newer stuff if you're a fan of his debut, but thinking that the ones I mentioned are embarrassing, while also thinking his debut is legendary is something I honestly can't understand.

it's also a matter of relative standards. many producers could be proud of this EP, sure. but it's a bit like james blake...he hasn't released much terrible music per se, but pretty much everything from the second album onward is an embarrassment for the artist he was during the first 18 months of his career

and for burial, i do think this EP is a bunch of nothing and it becomes embarrassing when you put that cover on it. 'soundcloud teen found cool pic on tumblr' etc

You probably mean the Rival Dealer EP. Yeah, tbh that's when it started going downhill for me too. While I still get some enjoyment out of his output since then, it really doesn't grab me nearly as much as anything he released before that EP. Then again I REALLY enjoyed pretty much everything he had released by then. But I get your point now. Especially with the James Blake comparison.
