sheatheman Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I think Our is my fav all out track. It's a v good album, as I said before, to listen to while staring at the eczema of your fellow bus passengers, the little patches you are able to see, that is, since they are wrapped from head to toe in nomadic fibers.

melancholera Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I'm just getting around to listening to R.I.P. which I think is great. Only listened to bits and pieces of Ghettoville, so no opinion yet. There's a very noticeable shift in style already though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bitroast Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 i'm sad Hazyville never got a vinyl re-release outside of the exuberant box set. emailed ninja tune around announcement time if it would be getting standalone release and got a pretty indefinite maybe. I guess an indefinite maybe not was the answer after all !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobDobalina Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 *~*~*~*~*~*~* ATTENTION BOB DOBALINA *~*~*~*~*~*~* i put this record on today and it's not that bad. anyway, see ya If you happen to find yourself one state over (RI, we taint that big!) stop on by the Dobalina house and I'll stir us up some manhattans, have the highlights from today's Spurs win over Chelsea on loop & we'll listen to some drexciya, vlad delay and of course actress. Anyway love both H'ville and G'ville (wasn't it supposedly going to be a trilogy?) but they feel totally different to me, the latter feeling more like a progression from RIP than anything. Would love to see him get back into some of the raw grit that oozed from the first two albums but would be stoked for anything including but not limited to a digital release of Xoul Oh and Rule remains the proverbial tits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobDobalina Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Well put. To me Ghettoville just sounds straight up blunted, like fishbowling some shitty vauxhall compact on a dead end street in a council estate or summat. Along these lines where'd that whole "oh he just made the whole album then slowed it down XX%" notion come from anyway? Is this mentioned in an interview or is it just someone's take on the album based on how it sounds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bitroast Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 yeah, I can hear that. for me it started with the silver cloud ep. purchased it on record without hearing samples or anything, and theres no indication as to what speed to play it at, so I just assumed it was 45 and got used to listening to it that way. same goes for this album. I know can't get my head around listening to it at 33. I still haven't listened to the album from start to finish at 33... i'll normally give up and put it back to 45 somewhere haha.

Taupe Beats Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Love this record. A very cool tribute to DJ Screw mixtapes. And yeah that's what this is, between references, samples and vibe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splesh Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Relistened to this for the first time in awhile and I think it's my favourite of his since Splazsh. I certainly like it much more than R.I.P., which is also pretty nice. I wish we had a subforum for this Darren's music, he's such a gifted musician/producer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumbass Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Actress is one of the best there is. Consistent favorite of mine. I think AZD is my favorite album of his but they are all amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scaramouche Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Can't believe Ghettoville will be 10 years old next January. Great album. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
