Burial – Fabriclive 100

I own both the 4LP set and CD(Mix) and both are very different experiences. The individual tracks on the 4LP is a great selection and journey through many styles of underground electronica. The mix however is where the real magic of kode9 and Burial really take us on a journey with all the tracks interweaving at times, almost clashing but they make it work. Sound quality is great too on both formats especially in of soundstage width and depth. Open your mind........

Jesus, what a way to sign off on the Fabriclive series... Maybe I just don't get it, but the tracks are horrendous, would even go as far to say this is the worst album I own. Is this really what Kode9 & Burial were about?

I like it. Ive never really liked kode9 to be fair but always give him a go. Got to trust the experts. It's a piece of art and set in stone now, it is what it is and sure, not for everybody. Good in the right mood, listen with an open mind... something a bit different and clearly creative. Worth buying for sure! 3.5/5

I've been buying mix comps and DJing for 24 years now, this is the not the kind of music I would buy or play as a DJ so my review isn't biased in anyway.
I had to buy this as the concept excited me. First time I listened to it it blew my mind. You will either love it or hate it, it is that extreme.
It's a compilation of influences more than it is a DJ mix, I'm not even sure if there is much beat mixing on it? Not that it matters, the music is presented in such an interesting and unique way.
Tempos and styles are all over the place, it's anti smooth DJing and beat mixing, we've heard all that before.
To me it sounds like you've just tuned into a London pirate radio station. There is garage, grime/dubstep, acid techno and played fast too not slow, jungle/breakbeats all rolled into one with loads of vinyl crackle, background ambience and distortion. I guess that is the Burial influence?
If you want something fresh, new, exciting, different, uncompromisingly difficult, not straight, defies all the rules and constraints of genre specifics and sticks 2 fingers up to conformity then I suggest you listen to this.
Listen to this as a whole with a very open mind and you might enjoy it... or you will hate it, either way I think a strong reaction is better than "It's ok".
I LOVE IT!!! I have to be in the right frame of mind for it though.

This is a real let down. I realize Kode9 likes to play with expectations, but I'm just not on board with this mix. Sometimes enjoying the output of your favorite artists doesn't always equate to you liking the music that inspires them.

Unfortunately as much as I wanted to like this mix, I listened to it several times, it didn’t do anything to me. I ended up cancelling the vinyl order with Fabric couple of days before they started shipping out.... what can I say, not my cup of tea.

I can see myself listening to this mix a lot. I just got it and already I've played it twice -- that's rare for me with anything, let alone a DJ mix. There's just so much going on, but all so tightly controlled, that it's like listening to multiple mini-mixes back to back to back. Preconceptions should be checked at the door, because while elements do reflect that beautiful Burial sound, he and Kode9 are clearly trying to do something different here with a new-meets-old approach that works surprisingly well. The addition of the Luke Slater track gets a lot of attention, and rightly so, because that's the kind of curveball that keeps a mix like this exciting, and makes you wonder what's coming next. Bravo on this one; it's one of the most unique mixes I've heard, and it's a fitting end to the Fabriclive run.

The Best New Record I heard in 2018. Its content will mesmerize you, whoever you are into Dance Cutlure. I couldn't think of a better illustration for the Rythm Evolution we went through starting late 80's. And it Features Solar Feelings = I am speechless seeing this pearl near the end, last Live volume. Thank you DJz !

this mix is unbelievable good. Introducing so many new artists I do not know , like Julez Da Deejay and so many other ureleased trax. Thx for Luke Slater track , good trax never die . Fabric 100 aniversary !!!
