Sounds a bit like Amon Tobin too. Not sure yet how deep it is...but thanks watmm for a good recommend Btw, people in this thread bashing Trademark Ribbons of Gold? That was the last buy I made from watmm and it didn't disappoint, great album! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lumpenprol Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 lol. Still on my first listen through, of course absurd to start drawing any conclusions, but I was surprised by The Lord's Graffiti, it perfectly recreates the sound of listening to banal dance music from a club's restroom...wonder why he wanted to recreate that? Was flowing with the album up until that point. The abrupt fade-outs are sloppy as hell though, do not like. Jardin and Raven were great. Shadow from Tartarus was disturbing. He really is quite an uber-talented producer, and I usually hate side-chain compression (or, what I imagine it is). Like Clark, I think his often good music post ETBOY is let down by his willfully self-destructive craptastic production, makes everything brittle, obvious, and annoying. It's like he's forcing you to only listen to his tracks once. Anyhoo, really interesting approach to music. The sound of a space, not the tunes themselves. Can't remember many melodies, but I'm liking the experience... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweepstakes Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I love this album. I've only listened to it 3 times because I don't want to spoil it. I'm so happy someone is making music like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
encey Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 This just gets better the more times I listen to it. I'm gonna play it right now! Never would have known about Actress if not for WATMM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soloman Tump Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 4 listens in. Enjoy it more each time, although was rather underwhelmed first time so its lucky to be getting the chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerwolf Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 So this finally arrived in the post today. I got the Machinedrum Rooms extended version too. But RIP is going on first. I am looking forward to seeing what all the fuss is about. Nice too sink into stuff once all the hyperbole has subsided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpenprol Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Still listening to this, a very strong album, but with only a handful of uber-standout tracks to me: Rip and Ascending: nice, boccy intro URIEL'S BLACK HARP: this has easily become my favorite track. The best track ae never made. Raven: niiiice N.E.W: lovely This would have made an amazing kick ass ep as good as in a beautiful place out in the country (I know, weird comparison). Anyhoo, still enjoying the album, though I don't understand any of the praise for The Lord's Graffiti or IWAAD, they still sound crap to me and give the album a fairly weak ending.

encey Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 "Tree of Knowledge" totally reminds me of "Tapr" from Draft 7.30. Has somebody already said this? :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcofribas Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 two questions: does anyone know what kind of equipment he used on this record? also, how does this compare to his other releases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobDobalina Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Hazyville and Spazsh are the proverbial teats, don't sleep. Pretty much love all 3 equally. His singles are pretty damn good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweepstakes Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 two questions: does anyone know what kind of equipment he used on this record? also, how does this compare to his other releases? I spotted a Machinedrum and Monomachine on the Adult Swim interview. I don't remember any other pieces. Oh yeah, he also appears to be somewhat into canes as well as hoodies, or perhaps more generally face-obscuring apparel. I love Splazsh, gave Hazyville a listen once but haven't given it an opportunity to sink in yet. Those are proper weird but R.I.P. is a different beast entirely. There's a pretty steady beat running through the other two, for starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tokn Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 also, how does this compare to his other releases? It's way more in-your-face psychedelic than the earlier records, which superficially sound more like house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcofribas Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 yeah, that's the impression I'm getting just checking out tracks online. it makes r.i.p. that much cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokn Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 it makes r.i.p. that much cooler. for me it's the other way around. making something truly psychedelic just with basic elements and normal, housy sounding beats is way more impressive for me these days than obviously being psychedelic (which is not really the case on R.I.P., very small subtleties here). make sure you check every single actress track, also the remixes. everything is worth it.

Guest grue Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 i would recommend a number of his eps as well as his albums. 'machine and voice,' 'harrier attk/gershwin' and 'raindy dub' are especially good. r.i.p. has held up pretty well over time for me. i still listen to it regularly and i still think it's great.

sweepstakes Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Well, they have basically the same chords - try playing them at the same time. That's pretty much where the similarities end, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
