Fred again..

Fred again.. - Actual Life 3 Piano Live 22nd December 2022 on Atlantic (IRL005) continues the intimate, stripped-back approach of his piano series, this time revisiting the emotional arc of Actual Life 3. Pressed as a limited Magnolia-coloured RSD edition, the LP captures Fred alone at the piano, folding fragments of voice and memory from the original electronic tracks into rich, resonant chord voicings and aching melodic lines. There's a sense of catharsis and reflection in these performances - moments that felt euphoric or club-focused in the original context now land as tender, almost diary-like miniatures. Heard on vinyl, the natural decay of each note and the subtle ambience of the recording space add to the feeling that you're in the room. It's a beautiful counterpart to the studio albums, speaking directly to fans who connect with the emotional core of his work.
