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.

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

sorry actress :(

Legitimate space tale (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 6 November 2013 14:57 (twelve years ago)

good art

the late great, Wednesday, 6 November 2013 18:08 (twelve years ago)

i haven't checked ninja tune for a really long time (not since the mid-90s) but between this and machinedrum they're doing pretty good

the late great, Wednesday, 6 November 2013 18:11 (twelve years ago)

and Lorn.

They've got King Midas Sound now, too.

A lot of year-end round ups I've read have compared all sorts of artists to Actress and every time I investigate I am left disappointed. Who else actually has the same bleary, drained, warped sound?

boxedjoy, Tuesday, 17 December 2013 22:47 (twelve years ago)

everything on Opal Tapes?

Actress as forerunner to the year of "abrasive, conceptual techno."

so this is out on the seedy places of the internet now and i couldn't help myself. absolutely great album

illegalblues, Monday, 30 December 2013 19:57 (twelve years ago)

good to know, thanks for heads-up

the late great, Monday, 30 December 2013 21:18 (twelve years ago)

Ghettoville or the 12"?

CAROUSEL! CAROUSEL! (Telephone thing), Monday, 30 December 2013 22:53 (twelve years ago)

I'm stupidly excited for both, really- this is the first producer in ages that's made me break my "no stupidly expensive import white labels" rule.

CAROUSEL! CAROUSEL! (Telephone thing), Monday, 30 December 2013 22:54 (twelve years ago)

the album is out there

Number None, Monday, 30 December 2013 22:54 (twelve years ago)

ugh tired writin bad

but yes, I am repetitively, redundantly excited for this new album collection of musical song tracks

CAROUSEL! CAROUSEL! (Telephone thing), Monday, 30 December 2013 22:55 (twelve years ago)

after a lot of love, there is a negative review in new mojo.

and an indication that this is the last release under this moniker ?

loving the jacket ..

mark e, Monday, 30 December 2013 22:57 (twelve years ago)

it is "the bleached-out and black-tinted conclusion of the Actress image" apparently

Number None, Monday, 30 December 2013 23:00 (twelve years ago)

description makes sense after listening to it. really dark album. perfect for the bitter january/feburary cold coming up. gaze is a straight up jam
