Actress & Mount Kimbie - 'AZD SURF'
Not really into Mount Kimbie but this is very nice

probably my favorite musician of the decade
After working on my ballots for the 2010s poll I think I agree with you

I didn't totally get Karma & Desire at the time and felt like I was missing something after I read the posts here, but it finally clicked while I listened to it while falling asleep last night. I think now that it has its hooks in me it may eventually replace RIP as my favorite, but time will tell. What a strange and unfriendly record this is. Are the people who compared it to Drukqs just talking about all the piano stuff, or the odd, seemingly random approach to sequencing?

Happy he's back. I like this track, though I remain convinced he'll never again reach the heights of R.I.P.

This is great, listening to it constantly.

His set performing with Autechre in Sydney was a trip - began very disjointed and accumulated atmosphere and complexity, a lot like that track above. Dude was BUSY.

yeah, excellent album. kinda glad it's not as emotionally intense as the last one.

Saw him back at the 2013 Brooklyn Electronic Music Festival at really sick venue that is no more. Was by far the best thing I saw there and was this incredible constantly evolving series of beats and atmosphere that had me thinking he was the closest I'd seen to an Autechre set by someone else.
Them playing together would be amazing! So sad I wasn't in Sydney in time for that show.

really makes the lo-fi/hi-fi distinction meaningless. neither annoyingly polished nor carelessly murky. also, unlike autechre, there's a distinct emotional core that unifies the music. it's also politicized without being didactic. what im saying is, it rocks

can't believe it's been almost 15 years since this thread was started. "r&b concrete" is still an alarmingly concise and accurate description.

How is it politicized?

probably my favorite musician of the decade. thick smoke always hanging in the air

one of my faves of the century. new album roolz
― ava (paolo), Friday, 17 November 2023 21:09 (five months ago) link
it totally roolz. and the deluxe LP edition comes with an lp copy of 88!
― brimstead, Friday, 17 November 2023 21:31 (five months ago) link
Funny, this one didn't immediately strike me as much as previous albums, but I went back to it after reading the praise on this thread and it definitely clicked the second time, enough so that I immediately ordered the LP. I think headphones really helped me appreciate this album, and I'm not typically a headphones kind of person

love this new album and also his recent mix for Mixmag
― boxedjoy, Friday, 17 November 2023 22:30 (five months ago) link
i really love this album but it always leaves me wanting to listen to Motorbass
