I've heard he tends to be pretty reliable. He did apologise on twitter but I don't know what that means.
Something must of happened for him not to show though, it was a full live show which would of cost a lot. All of the equipment was on stage for a good 2 hours, until Laurel Halo came on. I don't think Actress is dick enough to pull a stunt like that.

Darned cockwombles.
He certainly doesn't come across as a dick in interviews.
Ach, glad it was a good night, gutted I missed it. Pity Laurel Halo didn't come across so well. She had a concert with Kuedo recently that I was sad to miss too (by virtue of it being in Manchester)

Anyone knows which track this is?

He was supposed to play at the Decibel Festival in Seattle this weekend but he was dropped from the bill at the last minute because he didn't have a visa! Glad I got to see him in Vancouver a couple of weeks ago (it was great!)

And did it?
Thoughts on the new album anyone?
I'm still getting to grips with it but to me it almost sounds like RIP part two. It's got the same hazy fuzzy vibe and a mix of ambient/soundtrack style bits and weirdo club music. I really like it
Also, did anyone splash out on the box set?

tempted by the box set but nah. read a review of the album in the wire and it seemed like this one is his 'dark' and 'difficult' album (ie not easy to like, maybe a bit boring, and very grey). but i hope thats not really true cos i fucking loved RIP. if its amazing i might splash out.

I'm still getting to grips with it, first impressions are pretty good but I don't feel like I've got a handle on it yet. Really love Corner, Rims, Don't, Rap so far. Sounds more like Hazeyville than RIP to me, maybe sits in the middle of those too in sound but slightly closer to Hazyville even if its a little more bleached out.
I think that review was a bit wide of the mark. The album is fairly moody (it is Actress after all) but I'd say it's no more dark and difficult than Splazsh or RIP
Not really feeling the new Actress, but then I wasn't really into RIP either. Whoever said on here that the album sounds like one of those flash games where you just get a grid that plays a sequence that's always in tune, this sounds like an extension of that again.
Something a bit unsatisfyingly amateurish about this supposed master.
He suits colourful music compared to greyscale I think, and all his recent work has been thus.

i think theres something lacking/wanting about RIP, but it also lets me think of it as kind of just a blank space - most of the tracks sound unfurnished/unfinished, like hes not telling you to react to them, which is something i like, that blankness (without being cold). but i can see how that could sound amateur. i dont mind that too much though, except when it seems like he has a great starting idea (eg the first song on RIP) that just goes no further than that initial starting idea. thinking of him as a 'master' is wrong i think, hes more of a rough draft kind of artist. he makes music thats often pretty under developed. its just that a lot of it is more 'delicate' so people seem to elevate him to a higher platform. doesnt hurt that hes excellent at conceptualising his music too.
im still yet to hear hazville tbh, and i liked RIP before i liked splazsh. are his 'thriller' alias songs like purple splazsh? (one of my favourite things of his)

The Thriller tracks are on more of a funky sample tip yeah. They sound like tracks for Splazsh on the whole or at least ideas that ended up becoming Splazsh, maybe with less obscured samples, Hubble which was on one of the 12"s ended up being the first track on Splazsh.

I liked all of his work for the initial five seconds and then I decided it was really fucking lazy, and really fucking boring.

I do like some of his tracks a lot but I was listening to ''Spalzsh'' at work today in an attempt to reconnect with him as a producer and I do find it a bit middling. Perhaps its the hype vs. the music that ruins it a bit for me. I felt/feel the same way about Burial. And Zomby, for that matter.
