MEH…
his first few albums were at least listenable…
disappointed tbh, not as good as her first EP. not as abstract and avant garde as i’d like. 5.5/10 ^_^
OvO
yo, glory hole, darren is a guy
he knows dude
fuck yeah, y’all is wack wankers if ya ain’t wit this.
RIP music :(
Agreed / MOR shite with less feeling —
Every track th’ same schtick as before. Flat affect an’ loops left idling or afraid to say anything definitive in case th’ flimsy veil o’ hype falls by th’ wayside. Every track th’ same structurally though paradoxically summing to nothing in th’ end. This is th’ music o’ apathy made for herds an’ cows.

Less a statement about futility than a display o’ gross marketing an’ posturing behind words. Th’ expensive triple deluxe boxset from Ninja Tune is a complete hipster joke an’ perverse display o’ how much bullshit is in th’ so -called underground music industry. When th’ value proposition is to be found on th’ outside [ rather than inside ] then you know something’s up.
Furthermore Actress live sets have absolutely no consistency with th’ tenor o’ his productions either. They just reek o’ an inability to compose any lucid original ideas. In th’ olden days we used to call them “bullshit artists”. Nowadays we have adjectives like “spectral | elusive | ghostly”. All th’ Req One stuff on Ninja Tune 10 -years ago was pretty much th’ same hype train, no brains — just click buy.
Listen with your ears not with your eyes. Trust yourself or be prey to th’ fappery o’ mainstream online media. Regurgitating words an’ nonsense an’ how good that last Burial album was [ cough -cough ]. Th’ whole “atmospheric” angle doesn’t cut it either in th’ context o’ what other artists have achieved between th’ worn an’ weathered shores of “Techno A -Z”. Sandwell District is hugely overrated as well.
Here’s some other recent techno that you might enjoy along a similar axis o’ intent. Start as you mean to go on an’ flow my tears:
Voices From The Lake “ST”
Surgeon “Breaking Th’ Frame”
Jan Jelinek “Farben” EP
Ekoplekz “Memowrekz”

Please remove duplicate post / can we please also have whitespace without stripping carriage returns?
slitty ears
So does this blog now only have one guy posting? What happened to rest of them… :(
Gave me a fucking headache.
Terrible.
you’re on the wrong frequency.
what’s th’ frequency kenneth?
Shortwave in grey.
bydlo
Incredible Album , like a slow moving terraforming machine
I wish it were like that. THAT I would like.
Easily his best work yet, dude has such a unique sound.
you should hear me pissing in th’ shower.
Give it a few listens, it sinks in. I think Splaszh will alway be my favorite as it was my first introduction to him, but this is still terrific.
He’s going new places, trying to be challenging, nobody should be faulting him on that, it still sounds like an Actress release, it still sounds tight.
very good
good for you / you must be above us all.
but definitely you / weasel man x
fair play to him hes going in different directions
those directions being good
Collapsing new genres. Actress on point as ever. Shocked that people here aren’t feeling this album. Brilliant.
Well, that would be rad. But many feel that the triumph of collapsing new genres is not his to win this time around.
It takes a nation o’ hype to bring us down.
Shocked that people have an opinion that’s not similar to yours?
Wierdness…..
DON’T….. STOP…. THE… MUSIC
i skimmed through the album again and it’s better than i thought, prob a 5.6/10 now maybe 5.7, moody abstract atmospheres perfect for when i’m eating guiyomis ^_^
“skimmed”
nigga do you know how to listen to music properly?
white guy do you know how to use “nigga” properly?
Delusional. Tis what you are simpleton.
“skimmed”
uhhhh based on the album cover I give it a 3.14159
best response yet — TIP!
the first thing u make when u get Ableton and sample your mp3 collection
far from his best work
This is good as all hell honestly.
