that's what he's best at though, is my thought on him - finding diagonal connections in music, that is.

Yeah it does feel like a consistent progression in terms of mood, if not in momentum.

this is very fine work

thread title has put me off listening to actress until now.... but i really like this!
i don't think it's shapeless at all! most mixes i will stick on and zone out which is often exactly what i want. but the way this mix evolves suddenly and kinda strangely really keeps my attention focussed. i've found it great for running to.

dude's music is just as enervating and like listening to paint dry when he calls himself levantis as when he calls himself actress

one of the worst all time thread titles

Actress is a totally amazing recording moniker though.
― Whoremonger (jed_), Monday, 16 November 2015 21:59 (ten years ago)
how should actress make his music less enervating? throw some donks on it?
― brimstead, Monday, 16 November 2015 22:06 (ten years ago)
Actress is opening for Animal Collective on the current leg of their U.S. tour, stoked to see them both soon

So is it pretty much confirmed that those one-off cassingles on Ninja Tune lately have been Actress? THAT KNIGHTSBRIDGE OG, DIAL 666 8100, and BANK OF ENGLAND?

say what?
― the late great, Saturday, 18 March 2017 02:21 (nine years ago)
Yeah, there's been a series of single-track cassette releases on Ninja Tune over the last couple weeks that have had people playing Spot the Anonymous Producer. The all-caps phrases are the artist names they were released under; the tracks are, respectively, "ZENO'S PARADOX," "UBER SPLIFF TO GATWICK" and "CHAOS RAIN"

X22RME video has very brief shot of Crystal Palace park (the Bowl). So yay for that and I will likely buy your record.

"RUNNER" is so good
― Carlotta's Portrait (Ross), Friday, 14 April 2017 20:10 (nine years ago)
This may be my favourite yet. As expected, I quite like his pseudo-remix of Fauré's Requiem.
― pomenitul, Friday, 14 April 2017 20:21 (nine years ago)
Disappointed by this. I dunno, it sounds like a Clark album or something. Ok background music when it's on, but can't remember much about it after.
― Position Position, Friday, 14 April 2017 23:26 (nine years ago)
Yep

i still haven't heard it! my record store didn't get in their copies on friday. going to have to wait a few more days ...
― the late great, Monday, 17 April 2017 16:35 (nine years ago)
I think it is his best album yet.

This is fantastic, and probably his most accessible album yet. Either this or Splazsh is his best for me

this guy's music makes me fall asleep and have weird dreams. every. single. time.

I like this album a lot but it might be more fair to call it a beat tape
― the late great, Wednesday, 19 April 2017 15:58 (nine years ago)
His entire footballing career could have been one slow slide down the pyramid from West Brom and it would still have been more exciting than his music.

liking this a lot more than ghettoville so far
― clouds, Thursday, 20 April 2017 14:50 (nine years ago)
I like it a lot and think it does justice to the "r&b concrète" Nakh description in thread title.
― calzino, Thursday, 20 April 2017 14:55 (nine years ago)
I cant even remember what Sweet Exorcist sounded like, but a lot of this is vibing listening to them on a tape walkman in the early 90's.

One of my favourite Actress collabs

New album is pretty great I think.
This might be a bit of a shot in the dark, but if any Glasgow posters were thinking of going to see him at the Art School this coming Saturday, I have a ticket but can't make it, so post here or Ilxmail me if you want it.

Why is "senorita" from his 1st album only 2 minutes, should have been 10 minutes or something, arrgh. Some other tracks too.
― Bregoni, Friday, 23 June 2017 09:20 (eight years ago)
I was disappointed by his new AZD I must say, too straight forward. But I saw it on the record store yesterday day and almost bought it.
― Bregoni, Friday, 23 June 2017 09:23 (eight years ago)
His latest album is beautiful and I cant stop listening to it and not enough people are talking about it
