Guest nene multiple assgasms Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 only some of the tracks are in mono, right? or is my mind playing tricks on me like geto boys? geto boys ghettoville lol anyway, I like the album so far. it's not as immediately transcendent like r.i.p, but then some of his best tracks have taken a while to sink in and infect my brain.

sheatheman Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) I listen to it on my JBL Micro, so it's all mono 2 me. Nothing has hit me like Ascending yet, but I'll give it time. Edited January 28, 2014 by sheatheman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nene multiple assgasms Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 rims, image, and rap have got to be in stereo, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Member Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 The snare hit in rims has a stereo reverb, there seems to be a tiny amount stereo reverb on image when the "lead synth" comes in. Rap is stereo all the way. You're not hearing things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tokn Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 This is mono seriously? Didn't notice at all Love this so much & afraid that this is Actress' last one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirm Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Might be the last from Actress but pretty sure it won’t be last we hear from Darren Cunningham. Be interested to see what he does next and if he really does retire the Actress moniker Only had 1 listen to this but first impressions were very good and makes sense as a squeal to Hazyville, follows a similar theme but took to its logical conclusion.. Not sure if it will surpass RIP as my fav by him tho, will have to listen more and see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirm Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Eh, it's kind of stupid to compare a vaporwave album with tech house minimal ambient Totally different Is Actress Vaporwave!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmanyo Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) "Rap" is definitely vaporwave, just put through Actress' trademark grain filter. Edited January 28, 2014 by gmanyo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koner Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I don't think this one is up to the standard of the others… hope Hazyville gets a vinyl release on its own (I've heard it's going to) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheatheman Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I don't buy this "logical conclusion" business. There is much more that could be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manmower Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I don't think this one is up to the standard of the others… hope Hazyville gets a vinyl release on its own (I've heard it's going to) I think I remember reading Hazyville's getting a standalone CD repress at least, not sure where I got that from. It's up for pre-order on Amazon UK but with a release date of December 31, 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digman Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Here are my thoughts. It seems weak in comparison to his other releases. If the whole album were as good as "Birdcage" or "Our" it would be an 9/10 album. "Birdcage" is really blowing my mind at moment. The concept of the album doesn't feel overt. RIP is still my favorite album by old mate Actress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coax Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 My most listend track at the moment is Forgiven. I also like Rims, that funny whistle sound, and Street Corp with the subdued bass and melody. Corner is cool too. The fact that he found old music and sampled it cheapens it somehow for me though, but I like the aesthetic. Basically mood loops with good defined noisy sound. Not sure it works as a whole album for me, I like the first few tracks the most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nene multiple assgasms Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 how did anthony not like r.i.p, but he gets into ghettoville so easily? he should definitely revisit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manmower Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Gave this a first 'proper' listen yesterday, I had to turn it up pretty loud to get anything out of it and even then not much was going on. I don't mind emptiness per se but this seemed boring, like it took half the album for something other than silly noises to even happen. I'm going to keep on listening to this for a while but if I hadn't already bought it I'd have probably given up at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmanyo Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I like it more than R.I.P. I didn't even like R.I.P. that much. Splazsh is still my favorite by him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
