Kode9 & Burial - Fabriclive 100 mp3 download

POFOD

this is so terribly un-funky, incoherent, without any flow. is this some sort of an anti-mix ? featuring a new school of breakbeat artists who sound exactly like the early 90ies but less interesting, with nothing significantly new to add? is "retromania" hitting the hardcore camp? (Maybe Simon Reynolds has something to write about it) Or is it just a case of "hauntology"... g_d bless

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 !

I gave this two listens and I appreciated it more the second time. For me the only track I greatly dislike is the robotic vocal track in the first part of the set. It just sounds too much like a bad attempt at a Daft Punk song. As for the rest, you can obviously hear Burials choices because of the mood shifts. Those are the moments that make me appreciate it more. Lastly, I ordered the vinyl set and it's 4 records in total with no mixing. Some of these tracks deserve to be heard in their entirety and in a proper setting.

Ok, i try to defend the concept of this release.First of all, clearly this one has a plan. This mix has 5 parts. First part let’s say is “Fashionable tendencies” by kode9 (tracks 1-9 culminating in that Tzusing remix, much unreleased exclusive material, underground of today and tomorrow) and very important part is it’s mixed. Why it’s mixed? The concept of this part - you are at the party right now. This seamless mixing is your searching imagination, feelings of the moment and you don’t need to call to memory, this part is not about it. Then the ambience starting (you may close your eyes and remember something, some moments of your clublife existing - that robotic voice, I heard that in 2002, “i can complete you” or i can “something like that err, you know that feeling bro, when you remember the vibe but you don’t know the stuff that voice singing, hell it doesn’t matter, i remember the vibe, that was 2002 in the main room, tiga played that clearly or not. Then you walking back home 5am and take old tape from back in the days: “acid trance man, wow jungle, wow dat bass man” who played that? When was that moment? «Ah, never mind, i had my pillows that day, fanfckntastic». That was great night tho.You know it’s me again not you. Second part is all about memory. It can be mixed but with pain in the ass. You remember like 30 seconds from 95, then some minutes from 97 but you remember all your pillows right? The music? Nah, give me a drink. That acid trance, that hardcore is long-time dead, right? You can’t mix it seamlessly, because your memory has that. full of this ambient absence like braindead man. Some things here and there through your life.Track 16 is a groundbreaking moment in the mix. Through some bullets loading in the gun (i cannot do anything with this, i think it’s more of a vhs-recorder switching tapes).Why i talked so much about that, because from tracks 17 to 22 it’s mixed again. Party is happening again. You are at the epicenter: “good girl, let’s bouncing dat ass”. Some heavy stuff, some seems clowny but whatever, it’s the music of today like it or not. It’s positive, it’s peaking, we’re not agressive anymore, times of Cream, Renaissance, Up Yer Ronson, Trade had passed. We’re not fighting for our rights, we don’t need that agressive dark stuff.One more thing is the white noise besides the old recordings part. It’s really that great moment which also is the big part of the whole concept. That noise is theeeee past. That noise is also the soul of you in the past. Your courage, your willingness to life. And this clear sound is the future. It’ the life of youngsters. But does it important to you? Come on man, give me that bottle.Parts 4 (23-29) and 5 (30-37) working the same way. You try to remember some more, when the grass was more green, and the sky was blue like never again, but all your remember is that pillow was yellow, that was red, some mc tried to freestyle on ragga jungle, and after all, the clearest moment of that day - you spilling guts in the toilet room of your friend which is completely whacked out within a stone’s throw.But hey again we’re in the party again, you live like 76 minutes as a listener but hey it’s like you lived some years as a club’s first-nighter. And last track is collapsing in the end, man we don’t have pillows today.

This mix doesn't do anything for me.. In my opinion, it's more of a Kode9 mix, than Burial's, with exceptions of Jungle tunes. Yes, we all know that probably we won't hear Untrue material from Burial, and he evolved as an artist in so many ways. However, as a farewell to legendary series FabricLive 100 is absolutely weak - 3/5.0 in my books. AND I pre-ordered vinyl release as soon as they announced... so probably it is going to be sealed on my shelf.

Thanks for the heads up. I was about to download this without even listening to it but between the track listing and your review here I'm going to take a few deep breaths and see if it might not be worth it after all.
