thanks for linking that interview. i was initially repulsed by the sound-excess of returnal but it's become my most frequently played album lately. looking forward to hearing rifts. cool to see Mego releasing more broadly-appealing artists like this (and Emeralds)

both returnal and rifts are incredible, have been obsessing over them for the majority of this year. i know this sounds lame but BUY THE VINYL. it really does help bring certain textures into focus more so than i remember on the mp3s

tbh i don't understand why he's getting so much hype, but then soundscape stuff doesn't really do it for me. i keep waiting for the beat to drop.
― emotional radiohead whatever (Jordan), Thursday, 29 July 2010 20:30 (2 years ago) Permalink
ambient by way of rhythmic overload and interweave = not as many beats? i like the bc-ness of tracks like "computer vision" -- kind of bumping without a drum part ...
good show, too -- both times ive seen him it was heavy but not too long. at the release party for returnal it was a nice blend of that record's noise and rifts-style washed-out sci fi sheen.

i think so? i like the ANV record; along with how to dress well there seems to be a trend of sorta familiar "fucked up synth pop" but with actually strong vocals. also, i am going to his show tonight in brooklyn at zebulon. what do you think of the record? it is a little oblique, but i think that's intentional.

I like what I've heard - but so far only on MP3. Waiting for the vinyl I ordered to land here in England. As someone said above, these records do tend to find some space to breathe on vinyl.

i have been so impressed with the quality of releases on software.
the autre ne veut single was a surprise gem for me; made it quite high on my 2012 tracks list despite a bizarre and unnecessary mykki blanco verse.
i was even more delighted by this pete swanson song they released - i wasn't previously familiar with yellow swans, which has been a revelation in and of itself. anyways, i particularly like this beat-driven approach that swanson is using now, and am eager to hear the full EP in march.
very curious to see what lopatin & co. pull out of their magic hat next. they're on a winning streak!

The Rifts vinyl set is still out there at some vendors. I bit the bullet and copped it a few weeks back and its insanely beautiful/sounds great, highest possible recommendation. The definitive release of that along with the breakup of Emeralds and the left turn of the last OPN full-length (Replica) and the rise of Ford & Lopatin-type stuff has me thinking "RIP Synth Revival: 2006 - 2012" maybe.

Returnal became a favorite of mine at some point last year, and this year I just caught up to Replica and it's become a favorite as well. Most of the time it has just the sort of sound I want in electronic music (not that I listen to much of it--but I listen to much of Oneohtrix Point Never).
