I'm looking forward to hearing the album as I enjoyed Burial's South
London Boroughs EP on Hyperdub. It sounds distinct from any other
dubstep that I've heard. Part of the appeal for me are the distant and
muffled sounds. So it's closer to vintage dub than, say, the releases on
Tempa. I played one of the tracks on a big system recently and even more
ghostly sounds came out, like Upsetter dubs.
Boomkat is a shop, lest we forget, and makes no claims of
impartiality... A bit of zeal is expected!
But I'd second your request for album comments.
thanks
Carl
