it certainly sounded like a couple of burial tracks, no two ways about it.

the first track kind of reminds me of GAS.
Definitely a solid EP. I had it on loop all morning

Comafields has a great sound through its movements. It feels like the different instruments and samples are hallucinations that are talking and singing to you, the lonely undiagnosed mental patient. In terms of mixing and sound design, man this is some of the best I've heard Burial since Untrue. I also heard a sound effect from Untrue towards the end of Comafields and into the intro of the next track.

Speaking of, Imaginary Festival is a trip. It is a broken song. As if Burial sketched a song, crumpled it, then threw it into the waste bin. What plays is the sad, malfunctioning bundle of stems crying out from the refuse. I like the rhythm here a lot more than in the first one, mostly. I say mostly because it also has distinct movements to its structure. Comafields' rhythm is interesting because of what it sounds like, because it's so delicate. It's steady and a little boring otherwise. Imaginary Festival has instead a more erratic syncopation, like older Burial in some ways.

The iconic rhythms of Untrue is what primarily draws me to Burial. He's been gradually dropping the tricky rhythms and instead going more experimental with his composition. Instantly recognizable sound, but easy to tell the era based on how steady the beats are. All that said, I think this is the best Burial in a long time. Like all of his releases in the last decade or so, I like it. But I think it could be a lot more. A more dedicated artist would pull the pieces out and release an entire album. He comes out with 10 minutes of music a year on average, right? Burial should have the biggest, dopest discography of anyone in recent memory but he doesn't. He has singles and maybe a three song EP on top of the two albums you wish you had hundreds more of.

7/10, but feeling blue balled

I dunno I just like the atmosphere his music creates. It's nostalgic and comfy.
It's like listening to the rain

No. He rules. He was and remains one of the most singular electronic artist.

Burial's the most important EDM guy of recent years. So no.
