Raffertie - Not Asleep, Not Awake

Just a heads up on a free tune coming from Raffertie, coinciding with  his recent signing to Ninja Tune. You do have to sign up to the Ninja Tune mailing list but trust me, it's worth it. Apparantly a full length album is in the works and if this song is a fair representation of what to expect, I'll be copping that one instantly.

Meditate on Tom Waits

I've been really busy this past week, had some awesome weather so spending as much time as possible outside.

(Thats my excuse for the fact there are two Tom Waits tracks in a row.  .. now for this weeks)

One from his earlier years I think, his voice doesn't have that trademark roughness yet.

Tom Waits for no man

I had to upload this myself, as the verison I have has a fairly humourous introduction by Tom. The actual song is great though, I love his voice on this one. Lyrics are in the youtube description if you would like to read them.

The original song is good too, I never realised there was a Kahn remix until a few weeks ago.

I havn't even heard the original of this, but it probably aint better than the Ruckspin remix.

not gonna get my hopes up, but . . .

" . . . I had this bunch of tunes for my 2nd album that were dark tunes, and I just scrapped them. I took ages on them. . . I worked for hours on these tunes, and I was trying to learn these programmes. These tunes were darker, more technical, all the tunes sounded like some kind of weapon that was being taken apart and put back together again. . ."

". . . Next album maybe I'll gather my forces, make a true darkside Burial album. Step up and do it. . ."

Quotes from a Burial interview I read recently, which you can find here. It's well worth a read if you're a fan of his music.
