oneohtrix point never

love rifts...got returnal on order

good mix by him: http://www.factmag.com/2010/06/28/fact-mix-162-oneohtrix-point-never/

still haven't heard his music, but just saw this feature which piqued my interest:
http://www.residentadvisor.net/feature.aspx?1226

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.

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.

rifts is outstanding. love the super cascading stuff like "ships without meaning". haven't given the new one enough time yet.

games is pretty dire, though. was intrigued by descriptions of "midifunk"

love going through sunsetcorp's favorite vids on youtube. lots of demonstration vids from the 80s for computer graphics and synths and stuff.

Thanks for the tip, hobbes. Loving these videos.

"russian mind" is the bomb

i like that one, not so shapeless

The only track I heard was on a recent Uncut giveaway and it was delicious.
I'm by no means anywhere near au fait with this scene, but when it hits - decent Tim Hecker, Fennesz - anybody else? It's ace.

stars of the lid? eluvium?

Dig Eluvium and SOTL too

think basinski falls into this category

emeralds
some of james ferraro's stuff

Vangelis

wolfgang bock

Ray Lynch

y'all should really check out Music For Lazy People by Waki (on Traum) for more arpeggiated bliss.

wayy more chilled out then opo, though

I dig his lindsay lohan tribute shit..

And the mix he recently had posted on Fact magazine's website.

big fan of this dude. has another mix here: http://www.self-titledmag.com/home/2010/05/20/needle-exchange-020-an-exclusive-mix-by-oneohtrix-point-never/

That mix set me off on a major harold faltermeyer youtube binge.

FACT mix is so awesome

That Faltermeyer track is really nice. That mix and the Fact mix are so good.

He's playing the Decibel Festival here in September.

what do yall think of antony's version of returnal?

"russian mind" is the bomb

video is by bay area's nate boyce!

I think Antony's version is quite pretty.

it's the boards of canada vibes (subtle pitch bends, spacious tonal wafts) that keep me returning to returnal and rifts

"pelham island road" recalls pete standing alone, with the repeated melodic figure early on in the track.

The Antony/Fennesz version is really nice . . .

yep fennesz remix of antony's cover of "returnals" is killing me right now. i'm not really an antony fan but this is so good

RAINBRO MIX http://pitchfork.com/forkcast/14801-funseeker-oneohtrix-point-nevers-rainbro-mix/

Played a v. good set at On Land. Rocking his Boston Celtics cap the whole time.

wow oneohtrix remixing vladislav delay! the sistol album is nice, more awkward and psychedelic than anything he's done lately

the remix is good but i wouldn't have recognised the source track

dude's turning into somewhat of a maven, running olde english spelling bee, the new project 'games'. makes me want to buy a juno for real

does he run olde english spelling bee?

I've given them a fair bit of money in the last few months - in exchange for lovely vinyl, of course.

Any thoughts on the Autre Ne Veut record? The press release/whatever cited Erasure. I'm still trying to get my head around it.

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.

what the heck, sorry

Daniel doesn't run OESB, it's run by a guy named Todd who appears on the semi-mysterious OESB release Afrika Germany Germany Mexico Turkey Australia which Ducktails (Matthew Monandile) is also on. Daniel runs a small CD-R label called Upstairs:

Could somebody possibly share me the FACT mix? Thanks!

the fact mix is sooooo gooooooooood here it is

http://www.mediafire.com/?d1tagnv6c4brhh8

I feel like I should love this guy but something about his sound just doesn't do it for me. listened to rifts last night and it's nice and all but it doesn't add up to much more than that for me. too simplistic, too cold? having a tough time even figuring out why I can't get into it.

omg the "Russian Mind" video just gave me the best headache ever

honestly i think it's a matter of quality control. there is a lot of synth or rifts and it can blur together. russian mind, hyperdawn, computer vision, and format and jounrney north are the highlights for me. counter-intuitively it works best -- for me at least -- as mixtape music

Yeah I can't imagine listening to "Rifts" front-to-back

so this thing is made out of samples from 90s CD-ROMs? sounds cool then

Pretty floored by it... Oneohtrixes of Canada? Giving me those vibes in the best way

Yeah, this is really good!

easily his best one since r plus seven. interestingly, the weeknd didn't interfere in this.

Yes this is marvellous

Stoked to hear!!!! “behind the bank” is one of my favorites of his so I am totally down with the idea of Oneohtrix From Canada

I like this one a lot too, his best in a while. I'm not paying $42 for it on vinyl though.

the CD version on Bandcamp is a very reasonable £12 (and presumably around $15 via US distros)

on first listen, almost sounds like a sequel to Again

thanks for keeping this thread bumped. checked out this album yesterday morning while just chilling and it was a great time

yeh agree his best since r plus seven

This is really good. I like that it reminds me of Replica, a lot of similarly smeared sample landscapes. Less polished and persnickity than his last few, but it also makes me want to revisit those more recent ones because I never felt like I fully wrapped my head around them.

i like this! i'm new to opn lol.

gonna listen today, stoked about it

listened to this while walking in a gloomy park while drizzling, thats the correct way to listen to this now

^havent listened yet but most of my favorite music works best in the same environment, now even more stoked <3

Went back and listened to some of Magic and can't really get with it anymore. Age Of is a bit stronger, still need to give Always and Garden of Delete another try. Traquilizer, otoh, is right up there with his best stuff and is quickly becoming my AOTY. Got it blasting on the fancy studio monitors right now and it sounds amazing.

yeah the sound of this thing is incredible.

sound design has always been one of his greatest strengths, he has such an ear for it its unreal

lol at the rave track "rodl glide". this is like the fulfillment of a prophecy made long ago by oval or something. elegantly plated digital technicolor haute cuisine.

I really want to hear this on some psychedelics

fuuuck i didn’t get to it today, might need to just download before heading to early work tomorrow

First thing I've loved by him since Returnal.

so far not hearing what y'all hearing - might have to accept that I'm just not into this guy, apart from Rifts and Garden of Delete

Enjoying this. They certainly released it at the right time of year.

i'm listening again. it's a cold morning in the office (our boiler is out) and this sounds very serene rn.

the no-boiler room

*nods*

yeah this is sick

First thing I've loved by him since Returnal.

i reflexively thought “naaah” when i read this for myself but actually… yeah, probably? i like a lot since then but returnal was the last one that actually floored me too.

This album is still hard to pin down for me, but I like it more than I did when I called it a sequel to Again.

this is pleasant but i am not hearing much that grabs me. i guess given how i felt about his last album (a snoozefest) this is an improvement, maybe it’s a grower!!

New track dropped for a benefit compilation supporting immigrants:

https://westernvinyl.bandcamp.com/album/passages-artists-in-solidarity-with-immigrants-refugees-and-asylum-seekers

Also on the comp are Alan Sparhawk and William Tyler among others.

The Marty Supreme soundtrack is a nice listen, surprisingly chill for such a hectic film.

trying to figure out why I like Tranquilizer more than Again and I think its because it makes better background music. there are interesting sounds everywhere, you don't really need to be paying attention to vibe out to it...Again however kinda fades into the background. without distractions both are amazing

"Storm Show" is so awesome btw, maybe my favorite track from him now

One and a half new tracks
