Actress - R.I.P.
A review such as this can barely scratch the surface of something so simultaneously esoteric and enjoyable. To call R.I.P. album of the year at this stage wouldn’t so much be pre-emption as an actual understatement.»

between sleep and the void lies the electronic interzone of actress. south london producer darren cunningham returns with a suite of electronic laments, tone structures and dreamtime rhythms which all carry his unmistakable fingerprint. 'r.i.p.' comprises fifteen tracks painstakingly crafted by cunningham in his london studio over recent years, with a conceptual arc taking in death, life, sleep and religion. 'i'm just an instrument,' cunningham avers. 'r.i.p.' underlines actress's reputation as one of the most eloquent voices to emerge from the sub-bass nexus of london dance music. his intuitive and original grasp of beats, textures and rhythm puts him on a parallel path to dance music innovators such as drexciya, t+ , aphex twin, burial and basic channel.
