Burial - Untrue (the whole thing)

What it brings to mind is that movie Dark City - rainy, cold, and wet, but cool (if you thought Dark City was cool). Like Dark City, it works consistently within its own existence, which is impressive in that Burial has developed his/her (I think his?) own grungy warm club sound. There's not a ton of variation, but the songs do something so particular and evoke such a strong, dark, sound it begs a movie be made *just for it*. If you're writing a existential hip-hop film-noir heartbreak story, this is your soundtrack.
The track I chose, Ghost Hardware, isn't my favorite on the album, and the vocals are (I think intentionally) a little off-putting at points, but the deep weird throng of the bass pulsing through keeps it interesting.
Points of reference: Lamb meets Roni Size in a rainy alley.
