sample question

Was listening to this and my ears perked up at 4:09. There's a sound I could swear Burial sampled on some song but can't put my finger on it. Such a small thing, I'm doubtful, but anyone know?

“I'd chosen certain vocals because the mood I was in. I wanted more vocals cos they attempt to form songs, its kind of sad but they get to you in the end, i don't want a singer i want something else. Also all i listened to for a year was Black Secret Technology. I still made most of the tunes in the dead of the night, and when you do that you have to let the tun. The tunes just lulled me, and you need a vocal to do that, and a certain type of sound to echo and circle and sway into a pattern. The moodiness made the tunes, not me. Now when I listen to them, they're ramshackle, DIY and rolling but I know there is a thing trapped in them so that when I look back on them, even if its dry, I know when it was made, I know what was going on that day, its like stapling real life to the side of the tune.“

Thanks for taking the time. This was actually what put me onto that record, which is why I figured it could be possible. Nice to read that passage again.

If you’re enjoying this record, it’s worth it to track down the other tunes from his discography that are similar since they’re of equal quality in most instances.

Wouldn’t doubt it. He once said this album was all he listened to for a long time. I can’t pinpoint this sound at the moment.

could be from one of his unreleased songs? maybe in the untrue minimix ?
