Less melancholic and seeped in static than its predecessor, Untrue is haunted by uncanny, almost wordless vocals that seem to flicker with a muted alien radiance, touching the listener on some deeply personal label. Voices hover in a void, suspended above some of the most elegiac and glacial-sounding strings since Joy Division's Closer.
This is music in a state of suspended animation, timeless and frozen, yet also firmly embedded in the urban now. With his second album, Burial stripped UK garage of its twitchy micro-textures and created a fabulous new strain of future soul, underpinned by hollow-eyed, stumbled drums liable to turn Timbaland green with envy. Untrue is achingly lovely, but perhals ill-suited to the CD format. Check the vinyl edition instead: it'll give your ears more time and space to digest the music - otherwise an illusion of uniformity will set in and you'll start to feel that each track is just the same jewel viewed from a different angle.

Ppl, agora q comecei a explorar os albuns q n conheço desta lista de 100, verifico que há coisas realmente mt boas e q merecem ser mais divulgadas caso a caso. Começando por MAX RITCHER:
16: MAX RICHTER THE BLUE NOTEBOOKS (130701, 2004)
'Shadow Journal'
The Blue Notebooks has become rather a name-dropped album since its 2004 release, and with good reason. The work of British composer Max Richter, who combined his formal classical training and worship of Philip Glass with a love of Kraftwerk, Basic Channel, Brian Eno, Aphex Twin and countless other masters of electronic texture from the realms of techno, ambient and post-rock, it's too musically expansive to be called ambient, and too sonically advanced to be called classical.
This album is really a kind of chamber music in dub, its aching piano, string and woodwind arrangements augmented with drowsy synths, cotton-wool drum tattoos and judiciously deployed field-recordings. The fragments of Tilda Swinton reading aloud from Kafka are a little hammy, and at times the swelling strings are just a bit too overwrought, but overall this is too enchanting a record to find fault with - I mean, you could just die to the strains of 'Shadow Journal'.
Listening to The Blue Notebooks for the first time, it’s hard to shake the impression that you’ve heard it before; you don't feel so much that you're discovering it as being reunited with it - and not just because the BBC are always pilfering its best tracks for TV idents and transitions. This is music which plays games with one's memories and one's perception of time; music that obliterates the already blurred boundary between the conscious and unconscious mind. [Marie Kelly]
