Yeah, that is good but that whole Shangaan Shake series is all about that one Theo Parrish remix imo, that thing is a killer.
― Friends of Mr Caeiro (NickB), Friday, 20 April 2012 18:19 (twelve years ago) link
I spent a lot of time a lil while ago unsuccessfully trying to work that electro 2 track into a set
― puff puff post (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Friday, 20 April 2012 18:21 (twelve years ago) link
the MMM is thee shangaan remix imo.
― stirmonster, Friday, 20 April 2012 18:51 (twelve years ago) link
i want to do a shangaan remix poll, was thinking on the way to work about whether i'd vote for theo or MMM or old apparatus or peverelist, all so dope
<3 dj rashad and spinn's too but obv it's kinda just a particularly accessible footwork track w/ a shangaan sample or two
― the late great, Friday, 20 April 2012 18:59 (twelve years ago) link
personally both of those actress mixes are a little too "out there" for me
― the late great, Friday, 20 April 2012 19:00 (twelve years ago) link
Damn, The Lord's Graffiti is one muthafucka of a tune. He is very good.

Still digesting R.I.P personally ("Caves Of Paradise" is the standout for me so far--wobbly bassline phrase-length + phased fast hi-hats = sold), but this free John Cale remix is esp. great (more pitched-down/low-slung than anything on the new record): http://www.factmag.com/2012/04/20/download-actress-remix-of-john-cale/

i've only heard "marble plexus" so far and i loved it, looking forward to picking up the album hopefully tomorrow
― the late great, Friday, 27 April 2012 05:01 (twelve years ago) link
gah this album is fucking incredible
very "selected ambient works" imo
― the late great, Saturday, 28 April 2012 17:44 (twelve years ago) link
had this locked on repeat since i got it
"N.E.W." is so incredible
― the late great, Saturday, 28 April 2012 17:47 (twelve years ago) link
my favorite track on "splazsh" has always been "hubble"
you read my mind mr cunningham and made an entire album in that style
pretty sure one of the tracks on this is a remix of "crushed" from hazyville

cosign all of this. never really got into splazsh, really digging this though.

this is really cool
never liked splazsh either
― r|t|c, Sunday, 29 April 2012 00:06 (twelve years ago) link
dunno abt these last 4 tracks after 'glint'
kinda feel i need to start from the beginning again to work them out
― r|t|c, Sunday, 29 April 2012 00:13 (twelve years ago) link
this is good

Liking this, the lord's graffiti and raven are the two that stood out on first listen.

Is this streaming anywhere?
― scott pgwp (pgwp), Wednesday, 2 May 2012 04:32 (twelve years ago) link
i'm alright with these last four tracks now. i don't enjoy them especially but the juxtapositions they provide lend a sense of consequence to the rest, however gnomic; ie without them this would be a too-well-contained and easily disposable nice bit of idm retro.
i like the middle section in particular, 'jardin' / 'serpent' / 'shadow from tartarus' - 'serpent' is very autechre homage to nokia 3310. in fact a fair few of the tiny insectoid music box melody tracks remind me of lp5/ep7 era ae, moreso than aphex at least.
― r|t|c, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 11:02 (twelve years ago) link
jardin is amazing...

you guys might be interested to check out shackleton's new "music for the quiet hour".
― sisilafami, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 13:49 (twelve years ago) link
A new Shackleton already? Still getting a lot of mileage out of the Pinch collab. Another Honest Jon's release? Reading the response on the new Actress album I will definitely check it out, couldn't get into Splazsh..
― willem, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 14:02 (twelve years ago) link
The new Shackleton is out on his own label:

i keep thinking of the word "palimpsest" in relation to this album, like what you get after coming home at 7am and all the music you've heard all night is still rattling around in a jangly smear inside your head

I LOVE THIS
― Mad God 40/40 (Z S), Saturday, 19 May 2012 18:06 (twelve years ago) link
I just picked up R.I.P yesterday and want to add to the chorus of praise... This is immediately more engaging and satisfying to me than Splazsh--more beauty, more restraint, more detail, more melodic development. It's a lovely record that it's hard to imagine any other producer making. I think it may even be a "deeper" record than Splazsh but without the sheen of inscrutability that led so many people to keep on and keep on with it; R.I.P is more immediate without being any less complex.
― Clarke B., Thursday, 7 June 2012 13:30 (twelve years ago) link
timely reminder for me that this is a good rainy day album
― r|t|c, Thursday, 7 June 2012 13:37 (twelve years ago) link
i agree that it sounds a lot like autechre, especially the one track with the annoying birdsong sample sound and a couple others i can't recall are very much like the subtler confield-era stuff
― the late great, Thursday, 7 June 2012 15:26 (twelve years ago) link
I can see where that comparison comes from, but this is so much warmer and more luscious to me than Autechre.
― Clarke B., Thursday, 7 June 2012 16:47 (twelve years ago) link
Think I prefer Splazsh tbh - this is okay, but very similar in vibe to Oversteps-era Ae but not as involving. Might need a few more spins though.
― Scary Move 4 (dog latin), Thursday, 7 June 2012 17:44 (twelve years ago) link
This is really good - his production style certainly lends itself to moody atmospheric numbers far more than it does the more beat-driven dancefloor-based material. "Tree Of Knowledge" sounds like lurching brostep recorded to a tape deck via a microphone pressed against laptop speakers to my ears.
― boxedjoy, Friday, 8 June 2012 10:06 (twelve years ago) link
R.I.P. is going to save the lives of so many cracked-out kids, you know at 4am when the drugs won't let you sleep and no music sounds right - this will be the only album they can listen to

whenever I listen to this it feels like a watered down version of madlib beat tapes, I wish I could get into it because in theory this is like my favorite shit
