  1. This is mono seriously? Didn't notice at all Love this so much & afraid that this is Actress' last one
  2. first impression: flows extremly nice, way better than r.i.p. from the musical side: way more wonky 80 trash sampling that would I expect, but it seems like the mode du jour of modern day experimental producers. deep stuff and a lot of progression and stuff happening. can't say at all if i like it or not that's what I love about Actress. "Skyline" is my favourite right now.
  3. hah why hate on someone as cautious and reserved as actress? you can't blame him that the media is making him the next aphex twin
  4. amazing... free twitter giveaway is a always a good sign. jumpyju is amazing!
  5. really waiting for some news on this. actress is somehow punk, but that's easily misunderstood. for me, 2 of 3 times i've seen him live (actually just a DJ laptop set) was pretty shit.
  6. I like this suprisingly much... "Rendevouz" and "Things You Do" are insane tracks... like i said, the tracks are between 1 and 3 minutes... but still, it's a coherent and fresh listen, a bit like a soundtrack to an evil game or something...
  7. well, if the new lp has 33 tracks, probably 25 of them are like 1:50 or so anyway, the teaser and the tracks sound decent, this could be something i like from zomby again after his really boring phase... let's see...
  8. This is harsh but interesting. I'm tempted to agree. But I'm still looking forward to digesting the album. MoT was the first Ae "album" that I felt was really pretty rubbish (only listened to it a few times). And Oversteps was quite uneven. I'm not sure they're looking at things as cynically as you suggest...but who knows. As I've said before, Sean seems to have lost his youthful intensity. For some reason I always felt he was the mad genius in Ae, I'm sure he's still creative but I think he's become looser and their quality control has slipped....potentially. Very willing to be proven wrong. The samples feel very "up front" to me, superficially exciting but may have little staying power. We shall see... Now this is a good review ! wait for exai... stay strong
  9. well, 30. i still feel fine. but the talk about empathising and systemising, i really think i do it differently than the average person.
  10. What, this still hasn't leaked? Crazy. And good actually. I think everyone has the promo which gets promos from Warp, otherwise my radio / webmag wouldn't have it either. We are not big at all, so...
  11. the first part, yes the second part, no, not at all (though there is a lot of reverb and low-end, but dubstep?! the f'ck) i think, watmm will be very happy with exai i'm not the biggest autechre connaisseur and fan, but i love their fast beats, weird rhythms and amazing textures and was let down by oversteps. the melodies on exai somehow remind me of oversteps, but they are way more in the background and there is a lot of prog-idm beats going on, as someone put it. there is even a 12 minute long beast. sorry i cant come up with a good comparison, i don't remember all the autechre lps perfectly. but i'm quite sure watmm will love this. and i only listened to the first cd, as my editior isnt able to get the second disc to me. don't take my opinion too seriously, otherwise you risk being let down by your first listening experience edit: it's amazing to see that while idm is slowly but steadily dying (or isn't it?) there are still some guys doing their thing like they did in the 90ies, not giving a sh't about hype or selling lps and their success proves them right.
  12. sorry for letting you guys down. there was a problem with the download, so i only have the first cd. will give this a listen tonight and share my opinion tomorrow for sure.
  13. Will listen to his tonight. Watermarked promos are sent out. apparently it's 2 cds. can't wait.
  14. his so god damn mighty... freestyling with a holy cow and fighting with a street dog.. damn r.a.e.d.
  15. http://soundcloud.com/mrfrenchfries/ellie-goulding-figure-8-french south london ordnance are great
  16. The new one is a stand-out piece of art. This is what hiphop will be like in the phuture, u kn0w
