Burial - True Love VIP

Unreleased Burial track, taken from the end of a Blackdown Rinse FM set in January 2008.

[@Trilogyfall]

11 Years on, still come back to this masterpiece.. At 3AM when most of the world is asleep. Here's to many more

[@jeanfrancoisnelson]

Forever

[@athulfgeirsson]

last time I heard this was like 11 years ago too

[@medisin.2019]

14 years on and still coming back for more ;p

[@nevinvegas]

He totally used one of the samples in his latest track!!! Just heard it today and had to come back here to remember where I heard it

[@Trilogyfall]

@nevinvegas what song did he release? The only the good times?

[@unkeyboardinated]

It amazes me seeing all these comments from so so long ago. Makes me feel melancholic.. All these people living their lives, having once commented on a beautiful track from an artist so ahead of his time. Love you all

[@NamelessFG]

Yea it’s amazing to think about, some of the commenters were probably in their early twenties and now they’re in their late 30s

[@whyface6778]

@@NamelessFG i was 18 listening to this on my macbook covered in shit supreme stickers and other cliches, now 30 on my desktop about to go to a dinner party... still sounds as it did. what a time for electronic music in the UK

[@denys9829]

I like reading comments under unreleased Burial tracks. It's the place where past and future are connected like a rabbit hole. People 12 years ago were waiting for track to be released, people today still waiting. Some people reply to themselves 10 years after. It's a pure magic

[@bouji_]

I'm just glad I got the opportunity to listen to this track.

[@jdgonzo1982]

i think this tune and Feral Witchchild will always be the tracks we all wanted but never materialized...the vocals and melody in this track really get me tingling...i'd love to see them released one day...fingers crossed!! :)

[@vonzo55]

that link does not exist anymore :(

[@Gitrel]

I believe there is an album about to be released

[@nevinvegas]

Check out only the good times -burial remix you’ll hear something familiar

[@junkydrummer]

Burial makes incredible music. I love nothing more than chilling out, havin a smoke with his tunes on

[@davycsbritain1279]

this piece of art is just unequivocally beautiful

L.B. Dub Corp - Only The Good Times (Burial Remix) It goes deep in the murky waters but so fucking cool to hear this VIP....

[@098Xzibit]

Man so glad someone recorded this back then, imagine missing out on this, or even worse hearing this once and not being able to listen to it again...

[@MichaelJP]

We missed out on an entire album around this time. He mentioned in a rare interview that he'd almost finished an LP that in his words "sounded like a weapon being pulled apart and put back together again" but he came home in a foul mood one day and deleted the entire thing.....

[@098Xzibit]

@@MichaelJP That sounds familiar except the delete part. I recall that his HDD broke and he lost most if not all of his work. Not sure how much truth there is in that though. I've read many interviews back then but my memory is bad so I might be mistaken. Either way we lost so many bangers and they will 100% never ever see the light of day. Glad we have this one though. Never gets old, been listening to this tune for ages.

[@eRRoRoiD]

@@098Xzibit At this point, it kinda becomes a rite of passage to come here every few weeks to listen to it 2-3 times and then wander off somewhere else.

[@098Xzibit]

[@NamelessFG]

Listening to this once and not being able to find it again would drive me crazy. I’d probably spend my entire life looking for it.

Here on the release of Burials new EP Antidawn his biggest release since Untrue, crazy seeing comments on here from 10 years ago, Burials still about and i hope everyone will find there way to his hidden gems like this

[@kozmicflush980]

Antidawn is horrible. I miss this side of burial. Club tunes. Aggressive percussions with mysterious R&B vocals. It's a damn shame he stopped. I still have hope some day they will release all these

[@tR6yMusic]

I really hope one day there will be a Burial Unreleased 12" on 180 gram vinyl. With all the unreleased tracks.

[@j.nilsson.13b]

+tR6yMusic Should be Untitled, since the unreleased songs will be released but I hear you. +1

[@TheVisitor3]

Fuck yes bro!!!

[@JsRf13]

Jyrki Ylinen "hitherto unreleased" has a good ring to it.

[@weeg91]

there isn't much point getting music on vinyl today. Vinyl is only good for music made before 1987, Before the advent of digital filters, which digital mediums all are subject to. The only other reason to get muasc on LP is if it wasn't released digitally. It's a waste of time outside of whats above mentioned. As for 'vinyl sound', it can be acchieved quote easily with the right (analog) gear.

[@weeg91]

Trace the origin of the source track. It's likely been through a toone of digital filters

[@absbee98]

best days of my life, when i still had hope, and things could happen for me. Best time for tunes, Burial, Dmz, Rupture, Pangaea, Hessle, them were the days

[@IAINTAVINIT]

right there with you mate

[@chillouterPL]

Lots of memories with this one

[@maddocuk]

One of burials best without a doubt. Made even better by not being released. I’m so glad someone recorded this!

[@henryleaver1534]

How is it possible that I’ve never heard this before. This is is insane

[@TheDJkarsy]

man this tune is so crazy, admittedly not ALL of Burial's tracks are amazing, but when Burial does it well as he did with this tune...this seriously needs to be heard on a system though, this one is crazy, so much emotion

Quote from etch on Burial - Temple Sleeper; “5 TP's exist of this with Loefah's remix of NASTY Crew - Lightz on the B-Side - I own one (and no don't ask) try find people who have the other 4 - one of which is Burial so good luck with that - Also originally Temple Sleeper wasn't going to be the Burial track, True Love VIP was, but Burial changed his mind last second - I also want to say this entire release was my idea, I suggested True Love VIP and Lightz Remix on the flip - sadly it didn't materialize quite like that - but v.happy to have the TP with the Lightz Remix and to have given some Burial to the world.”

[@thehometrainer]

Bwhaaaa!! Can't stop listening!!!!! I don't know but since Untrue,listening to other music hasn't been the same. Burial is the only light in my sad life. I guess you can all relate on me! Need to find true love

[@noianiz]

this NEED to see the surface of vinyl.. ........ i will not stop untill! amazing!

[@poopstack]

i agree. its super refreshing to have a song without the super produced, super polished sound you find in a lot of todays music. the imperfection, and mudiness is a wonderful breath of fresh air.

[@mybldyvlntn]

it genuinely does not get better than this

[@nayil100]

I don't want this song to end!!!!!!

[@RobbieLMAO]

WOW THIS IS LIKE THE MOST PERFECT 3MINUTES AND 18 SECONDS OF AUDIO I HAVE EVER HEARD I COULD CRY SO INTENSE

[@SuperJon20]

how can any1 not like Burial? his music is a different class, a different level, and if you do your research I believe he has only ever done 1 interview - during which he covered his face because he doesn't want fame - just wants to create music. he also said how he sits in a room and his songs will come on the radio and his mates will be like who is he? I heard its actually a woman? and he will jus sit there and smile. he's a humble guy and is a true artist, doesn't do it for the fame or the mo

[@DreamRasta]

Absolutely beautiful brings tears to my eyes listening to this godly creation :'(

[@illhorse]

whats the point of not releasing this now? evrybodys heard it! just fucking release it. pay or free download. whatever. the time has come. WHY HOG IT!!! ITS TOO GOOD. lol

[@SKUNKx05]

Actually everything is not as easy as it seems to be. Producers/artists release their products on some labels or kinda so they mostly loose their author's rights. And the labels are almost always veeery greedy so they'll better save products and wait when somebody'll need it and sell it to them, than distribute it for free. Nobody cares about art or fame, 'cause money is all that people need. There are many examples.. Oleg Kuvaev is one of that persons (I don't think u know who's that, but shortly - he made some cartoons by his own when he was working in one studio.. and when he left his job he lost all his rights)

[@malice4522]

SKUNKx05 One of Burials main marketing styles is his anonymity and the erratic and sudden release schedule. These songs arent out because that gives them value and therefore when they are out, the community will go mad for them (rightfully so). Hyperdub arent just fucking him over haha trust me; theres a new burial track on the vol.4 compilation

[@cms2943]

Malice Lambeth...check boomkat :)

[@Damnessful]

Malice except it's just another unreleased gem (lambeth)

[@Jamie.Richards]

Malice the beauty of his music is that we will never get these songs, we can hear a 3 minute low quality clip on a late night radio show and that's all we get but that's what it's all about, a full release of every Burial tune he's made in various stages of completion would spoil it, I love the idea that he has some of his best ideas hidden

[@DelusiUK]

Hoping Burial will release all these older unreleased tracks sometime soon.

[@XxTuma15xX]

He wants to, but Kode9 is in no hurry to push them out. Shame

[@trobodnb]

14 years, still looking refuge on this one likea fuckin sinner is going to mass at sundays

[@eria]

@HexicNexus - Blackdown is a DJ for Rinse FM which means Burial must ave given this to him. I've read a lot of posts on why and how an unreleased tune of Burial leaks out. It's a very close community, ya know. Every radio shows on [pirate] internet FM gets new unreleased track of just about everyone every week. But many of you won't know that unless you're heavily into dubstep. The most amazing thing about dubstep is that I actually listen to radio again. Haven't done that since 90s hiphop. Big!

[@TheAngryPie]

The commenting done on a previous version of one of Burials unreleased songs actually made it better. The commentors had a sexy smooth voice that kinda went with the music, and they were talking in a 'mysterious' tone too. I think it was "Untitled Track II", but it may not have, you'll know it when you hear it fo' sure.

[@thehometrainer]

Can't wait for new releases! I love this track! I love the lyrics! It's true, Yet dubstep, but yet exploring his pop side.....current pop music should learn from Burial I love him! :)

[@Maxybrklyn]

this song is like a virus in my head on repeat

[@thfcsingh]

Theres a refix of this floating around on the net someone did, it aint got blackdown's voice over it, its been filtered a few times and mastered a little to sound better than the radio rip, its pretty sweet and oh yh i forgot, ive got it.

1:51 ugh.. i melt !! William, my love, why?! release this already!! :'(

[@glottis5]

amazing. I really hope he releases something new soon.

spotting samples - tis the point? it's burial, and that's it. lovely stuff, as ever.

[@TheMadferit1994]

One day this track will have and official release, is a masterpiece. Young Death/Nightmarket are good tracks but True Love is soo good. Hyperdub-Kode 9 please release the track :(

[@slothb0y]

I was looking around. maybe the vocals come from "Elliott Yamin - Ill wait for you". vocal track manipulation is so awesome.

[@terribleawfulguy]

I wish I had Burial's mind

[@MoYceyYDnB]

Wow. This is so true..

[@danermanerkider]

DisWan I wish I at least had his ears. Surely he hears the entire world in an entirely different way than most. Then again, his mind would process it make it into how he perceives it, so I guess I would rather have his mind after all. Sorry, my geek leaked out.

[@gypsytheif]

@junkydrummer What a way to spend an evening isn't it!?! Melts your mind in such a fantastic way :D What a tune for letting your thoughts wander!!!!

This track is so. powerful. Even though i've never even kissed a girl, an entire world based off of something such , something even though i don't. realy. know. it becomes real when i listen to this. Then i wake up though, and it feels empty, so i run from true love.

[@Lewis-YouTube]

totally agree mate, ive made so many attempts to try and make something similar to him.... not to copy him, but just understand how he makes his sound. gettin very close to something you could pass as his now : ) hes cracked it, theres nothing lese out there like his stuff
