Wow,
   This is the last topic of conversation I thought to come across here.
Yes, Burial's "Untrue" is the album of the year for many an electronic music
connoisseur.  As far as his production goes, Soundforge also has a
"crossfade" function which allows you to layer multiple sounds with a % of
one file vs. another.  So,  it would be possible to make all the tracks
individually and combine them like that, although I can't imagine it being a
good workflow.   And to reiterate, everyone should check out Burial's
album... it's a great example of minimal music with lots of emotion.
