new 12" "silver cloud" is some beautiful sinister fuzzed out fucked-up mutant techno

clouds, Friday, 25 January 2013 23:51 (thirteen years ago)

is it as good as the la dusseldorf track of the same name

moët plaudit (Nilmar Honorato da Silva), Friday, 25 January 2013 23:56 (thirteen years ago)

Yeah this is great - nice to have some longer tracks from him.

"voodoo posse chronic illusion" is so so good

keef qua keef (Jordan), Friday, 15 February 2013 15:50 (thirteen years ago)

yep

a new afx album would be nice but actress is kinda supplanting the old 90s greats imo

still unsure how I've listened to and enjoyed this dude's music for over two years but only found out a few weeks ago that he played professionally for West Brom

absolutely addicted to this at the moment

Even more intriguingly, it’s known that Cunningham was previously a footballer due to embark on a career with West Bromwich Albion, before injury forced him to retire from the sport at the age of 19 (a “crushing decision to make,” he says). What business, our inner snob demands to know, could a one-time professional hoofer of balls have making music as obtuse, as formally brilliant as this?

had no idea about this, rmde at the pleb who wrote that anyway

whenever I listen to this it feels like a watered down version of madlib beat tapes, I wish I could get into it because in theory this is like my favorite shit

I actually haven't smoked in a long time!

puff puff post (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Sunday, 26 May 2013 23:40 (thirteen years ago)

I can't really answer that intelligently, I guess I'm letting it be its own thing and not trying to compare it to anything else, and that has allowed my perception to the music to open itself up a little more

puff puff post (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Sunday, 26 May 2013 23:41 (thirteen years ago)

I don't expect to be as spazzy as I wanted it to be originally maybe? idk

puff puff post (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Sunday, 26 May 2013 23:42 (thirteen years ago)

my perception of the music, obv

puff puff post (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Sunday, 26 May 2013 23:42 (thirteen years ago)

Still think it's a lot less than the sum of the ideas that people use to describe it.

Ghettoville is the bleached out and black tinted conclusion of the Actress image.

Where the demands of writing caught the artist slumped and reclined, devoid of any soul, acutely aware of the simulated prism that required breakout.

Four albums in and the notes and compositions no longer contain decipherable language.

The scripts now carry tears, the world has returned to a flattened state, and out through that window, the birds look back into the cage they once inhabited.

Spitting flames behind a white wall of silence.

The machines have turned to stone, data reads like an obituary to its user.

A fix is no longer a release, it's a brittle curse. Zero satisfaction, no teeth, pseudo artists running rampant, but the path continues.

LOL

No comment on that up there, but just came here to say:

if you like Actress, check out that Gardland "Syndrome Syndrome" album on Rvng Intl, it's dope

it's got it's own thing, but the effect sometimes reminded me of the more upfront Actress jams

the tune was space, Wednesday, 6 November 2013 05:13 (twelve years ago)

sorry actress :(

CardiacsPrincesse69xxx (Matt P), Wednesday, 6 November 2013 06:02 (twelve years ago)
