Kieran Hebden (FourTet) confirms he's Burial.

Ya rly.  I am both unsurprised and waiting for him to say "Nah, just playing."

 

Of course, many IDM fans (a group of conspiracy theorists if there ever was one, ask them about Boards of Canada some time) have long suspected this to be true.   The only artist (besides Massive Attack) that Burial has collaborated with is Four Tet.

Unholy carp.

What's the conspiracy theory about Boards of Canada?

[Grahame]

He could tell you, but then:

• He'd have to Kill you?
• The Black Helicopters would come for you?

[Knuckledragger]

It's not any one specific theory.  There is a legion of rumors about their early/rare BoC releases.  Check out their Discogs entry, especially the early stuff.

I see, I knew their early albums were unobtainium, but I thought there could be other rumors.

When I read this thread title, my first thought was "Which of our new non-native English speaking friends started this thread?"

 

Sorry, carry on...

Just caught Four Tet live at Bonnaroo this weekend. Great set, a wonderful contrast to the untzy electro stuff that I normally see at festivals these days.

^ Man, I'm jelly.   Four Tet is high up on the list of electronic artists I've never seen live and really want to.  I posted this video in Slower Forum a while back.

 

 

Kieran Hebden really is a music nerd's music nerd.
