music for looking at gifs on tumblr.
i do like this though. i was not feeling Sleep Dealer at all when i first heard it, but it makes more sense within the context of the album.
"Child Soldier" kills me esp
this came up on shuffle in the car the other day and i thought it was something from MAYA at first.

yea it's getting harder to ignore the appeal of parts of replica, ESPECIALLY the first and last tracks. i think i'm still sorta reeling from the initial jarring reaction of dissonant loops mixed in with the granular synth chillage of his other stuff, but it's not that much of a departure really and he's doing it in a way that shows a real admiration for dudes like recchion and reich and all the best avant loopers.
but honestly it doesn't even come close to the last 2 records, saying otherwise is massive hyperbole imo

i can't stop loving replica. his weird stretched out tape loop stuff was always the best (see "demoral"). kind of reminds me of some of terre thaemlitz' stuff, in terms of using samples to tease emotions out of the listener in a convoluted way. at the same time, it's very "natural" sounding.. in an "office space field recordings" kind of way.

Replica is wonderful, I’ve really come around on it since initially balking at Sleep Dealer and the new direction. His best, most interesting work by a good bit imo.

had an opposite reaction to everyone else itt re: on the sampling on replica. it comes off as faux-naif and doesn't rly gel with the synths in a way i can enjoy
my take on ferraro is... kinda lol mostly garbage

i feel like there's some sort of essay to be written about sampling/nostalgia/eeriness and the many lives of that flamingos track (which as to be one of the spookiest love songs ever btw) (i.e. American Graffiti, Fugees' "zealots", the Field track, and these great new covers)

Has anyone written an essay about the song's critical SYNTAX ERROR?
Or maybe the song WAS intended to be about sexual objectification.

So the Ford & Lopatin album seemed a bit slept on, it's really lovely. The remix album is sounding pretty great too, they got some excellent people in for that (Russom, Braxe, Optimo, The Bug etc.)

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!

pete swanson's output has been worth following in the last year or so. i've never got into yellow swans, though! time to hunt for a thread.

I've heard the Hecker & Lopatin album once. I didn't love it. It didn't make me want to investigate further but I bought the CD so I will try again.

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.

Yikes looks like it really is gone everywhere. I got a new/sealed one off Discogs for $60 just a few weeks ago, price seems to have doubled in that timeframe. Apologies for getting your hopes up, maybe they will re-press it.

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).

Yes. Guess I should make time to read this thread, which I'm pretty sure I've only ever quickly skimmed.
