i like to think he got vocalists in.
but maybe not.
i hear a string sample from nights in white satin on the "raver" track.

I was reading a Wire or XLR8R interview with him recently, and it mentioned something about reconstructing vocals from acapellas left on his answering machine. Don't have the article handy, but it was just an off-handed comment.

burial has grown on me a lot, but I think he's full of shit in interviews. I used soundforge for years and I refuse to believe that's all he used to make 'untrue'.

I used to think that too, freqscan... but if you put his stuff on a grid, it barely works if at all... I started making some beats in soundforge, and I was quite pleased with the result... this was after listening to a ton of burial, old and new, and one day it kind of "clicked". I did some layering and such of some pads and grit and such... it's definitely possible.
From what I've read, he used samples from lots of old 2-step and garage records from back in the pirate radio hey-day of those genres. Lots of the female vocals are male vocals pitched up, and vice versa.

There's no vocalist's in the traditional sense, just old garage accapellas and answering machine messages. I think someone's dug up a lot of the sample sources, have a hunt on the web. And there's a good interview with him in the new Cyclic Defrost mag (you can download the pdf from their site).
I think I believe him about only using soundforge. I think he uses lots of samples in a unique way. Great artist in any case, and I'm glad he's not keen on the fame game.

i think its definitely possible in soundforge. For someone who grew up with that program.
its a very direct way of working..
but of course he could be bullshitting anyway...

i made a tune in soundforge once .... it was a fucking pain in the arse to say the least. doing the most simple things, like a fade-in on a certain part, was a nightmare. it was more like a puzzle than making music ("how the fuck can i do this so that later i can still do this without altering this?")
the 'can't put his stuff on a grid' thing ive heard said before ... but you can ignore the grid almost any program.... ive done it in reason and used to do it in acid.
what about his melodic lines...basses and such? they are all sampled too? or do you think he has a synth and just records into soundforge? or can you use vsti's in SF these days?
saying all that though.... i made my soundforge tune in SF5 or something and apparently now you can multitrack in SF .... or at least do 5.1 or something so that seems a little more plausible.
