Guest ruiagnelo Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 After an initial indifference towards R.I.P, i missed it. Indeed, and i missed it because i really got hooked by its sound, even though it seemed to me there was something i could not understand, or could not grab. I now feel like this music doesn't evoke physical sensations on me. I mean, even the most cerebral electronic music like autechre can evoke physical sensastions, even though rarely, but R.I.P... it is completely weightless. There is no mass to it, nothing to grab or touch with your ears. It's the most abstract sound i have heard in recent years. Also i can't feel any colour in it. Feels like one of those old black and white pictures that were shot in a very bright day, and the sunlight was directly flooding into the machine's lens. I am finally relieved, because i feel good with this sound and regret saying it was crap at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splesh Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I'm sure I've said something to this effect in this thread before, but this album is absolutely stellar. It has some real mindbending numbers, some interesting melodies, and perfectly crafted tones and production. The attention to detail on this album is unlike most music I've ever heard.

Danny O Flannagin Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Gotta say that my favorite track is "Caves of Paradise." I find it to be a bit different than the others and would have preferred if the entire album had the same sort of feel as Caves Need to listen to this more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweepstakes Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Just gave the album a second listen yesterday. I had the urge when it was over to immediately play it again, which hasn't happened for me with a record in a very long time. I feel the need to understand and develop a relationship with this album in a way I used to with Autechre, but just couldn't do with Oversteps.

superstix Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 This album is unique in that I can appreciate its content, and even recently recommended it to someone whom I thought would dig it (and he did) but I just don't feel a connection with it nor do I crave listening to it. He uses some really enjoyable sounds and I like bits and pieces of RIP, but overall it's a little too deep/minimal/repetative for my listening tastes. I am looking forward to hearing what he does next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest uj78 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I'm still not tired of this album and I have been playing it so many times. So good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokn Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Yes, I'm also playing the shit out of it and experiencing completly new parts. as i stated above, i still don't know what my opinion on this one is - hope this never changes Also new Actress remix from Teengirl's Motif and a free track from Ninjatune, which I like more. Also, make sure to listen to his remix of SumR below, one of the finest and darkest tracks I heard in a long while! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvrQKpq22cU&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tokn Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 forming an environment rather than a music form hah, exactly what I thought when I first "got" actress: "it's not about the musical content, it's room music" a very good read (for a change it's not only about smoking weed ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ruiagnelo Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 If electronic music was a building, R.I.P would be its ruins. After so much time thinking about this record lately, i need no more words than these to describe it. I find it valid for Burial's music also, but Actress really pushes the boundaries to extreme limits. I really admire what he is doing with electronic music.
