[absent friend]

si il finale di come down to us anche sembra un po' così... frustrante per quanto mi sia piaciuto l'inizio della canzone stessa

[danilo]

Si, regna un po' di confusione.

[Totemto]

Quindi promosso?

edit: confermo le impressioni di Absent, i due pezzi lunghi sembrano davvero meritevoli, Hiders è molto atipica (quasi dream pop) e non quadra benissimo nell'isieme.

Fact alza il tiro, ma non so bene se mi convince:

[AFX]

rival dealer sembra una bomba h.
hiders mi sembra una cazzata, ma è davvero apprezzabile che sperimenti dove vuole come vuole.
come down to us è la versione burialesca del chill/trap contemporaneo.

Sono curioso di sapere cosa ne pensi dell'ep AFX

[:adamasio:]

Rival dealer pezzo dell anno.

Prima parte: alla pompa a caricare le bombe.
Seconda parte: roba da matti, mi posso solo immaginare cosa cuol dire suonarla in studio, caricarsi da pazzi. Colonna sonora da berzerk contro i forconi, torso nudo e martello.
Parte terza: pintone di eviltwin al bancone; stanco dopo le legnate ma felice.

Spero che i miscredenti si siano pentiti l'ep è davvero valido e insolito per certi versi

Dai commenti dell'articolo di Factmag:

1) Rival Dealer:
- at 2:15, the music/beat suddenly fades out, and a voice comes in and says, "This is who I am." Then the music re-enters
- at 4:15, a voice comes in and says, "It's about sexuality, it's about finding the person who you are. [Now between you and me(?)] this is who I am about."
- at 5:00 a voice says, "Sometimes you try to find yourself. But you run away. That's what happened to me."
- Again, the voice comes in at 6:00 and says, "This is who I am."
- Again, at 9:15: "This is who I am."
- The last voice heard, ending this track, says over and over: "Come down to us. Come down to us." (Which is the name of the last track, clearly a key track here.)

2) Hiders:
- First voice says: "There's a kid somewhere..." (Implying some kids are lost, as Lana herself - see below - talks about being lost. Burial's album seems to have this theme of reaching out.)
- The voice sings, "Now the sunlight's come." Then: "Offers protection. Offers protection."
- Then the voice sings, "You don't have to be alone. You don't have to be alone."
- This too, like the first song, ends with the voice saying at 3:47: "Come down to us." Leading to the last track:

3) Come Down to Us:
- the song begins with a voice saying, "Excuse me, I'm lost." Then a voice says, "Who are you? Why don't you come to me?"
- some of the lyrics, from what I can make out: "Come on in. Come down to us."
- a voice speaks, "The moment when you see who you are."
- at 10:48 a voice says, "You are not alone." Then immediately comes the same sample that's in "Loner" on Kindred: "There's something out there."
- at 11:37 the voice repeats: "You are not alone."
- long silence, then:
- the song - and the EP - ends with a long quote from Lana Wachowski's HRC Visibility Award Acceptance Speech. Wachowski is a transgender, she made The Matrix and V for Vendetta along with her brother. The quote that ends the EP: "Without examples, without models, I began to believe voices in my head - that I was a freak, that I am broken, that there is something wrong with me, that I will never be lovable... Years later I find the courage to admit that I am transgender and this doesn’t mean that I am unlovable... So that this world that we imagine in this room might be used to gain access to other rooms, to other worlds previously unimaginable."

Then we hear the voices that began this track, including: "Who are you? Why don't you come to me?"

End of EP.

I don't know that Burial is "coming out," as the Fact Mag writer wrote. I do think however that Burial's come out strongly in support of gay and transgender rights and an end to bigotry - and any and all who feel "lost," "truant," who are "sleeping rough," "homeless." Lana Wachowski's speech, the part about "this world that we imagine... might be used to gain access to other rooms, to other worlds previously unimaginable," is what this EP is about. "Come on in, out of the cold."



Romanziamo: l'ipotesi di Burial transgender* non l'avevo mai presa in considerazione, ma sarebbe piuttosto verosimile, nella sua assurdità (valutata da un sample di un pezzo, insomma).

*EDIT:dalla regia Fact dicono gay, per la precisione.
