oneohtrix point never

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

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

just made this playlist on my ipod - will report back. thanks!

and I should note that I gave returnal several plays as well. liked some of it (the noisier bits, actually) but the whole thing never made much of an impression. if anything, I like rifts more.

i like rifts more than returnal, and play it front to back sometimes, but i usually start or stop somewhere in the middle. i like how sprawling it is. it can blur together, but i'm a total sucker for cosmic synth drones and arpeggios. current favorite is zones without people

rifts is great in a single sitting if you're tired, sitting in the dark, drinking scotch and posting to ilx (inter alia)

returnal is sunnier and less introspective

yeah rifts all the way through is good at evoking that woke up from cryo sleep too early and contemplating the void thing

does anyone have

Young Beidnahga

digging the 4-track rifts EP playlist btw.

I haven't heard Rifts but I love Returnal because it feels concise, for an ambient/drone/whatever record. It feels composed from beginning to end with proper ebbs and flows.

Incidentally I can't stop listening to the new Arp album, The Soft Wave, which works in similar territory. It too feels perfectly composed, with perhaps more attention paid to melody in addition to overall textures.

(Ignore that first post there...)

Rifts is way better.

I only have "hyperdawn" but now I feel I need the whole record.

lmfao @ the games ep title, 'that we can play'

i like the games/cfcf ep. some of the best stuff cfcf has done, tho i feel like it could alienate some oneohtrix fans

i guess the cfcf stuff is remixed here, so it doesn't count as their work 'officially', but it's still great. esp the gatekeeper remix

is the E.P. on Rvng a CFCF / Oneohtrix Point Never collab? I've seen listed as just CFCF?

the Games - That We Can Play thing is streaming here; http://www.factmag.com/2010/11/01/stream-the-debut-album-from-games-that-we-can-play/
might be a bit too much for me, will give a few listens before I decide.

its a grower but quite different from the first ep.

By moving to a more song based structure, it's less individual than the earlier stuff.

the games remix of "it was never meant to be this way" is on both the cfcf ep on rvng (along with other remixes) and the games ep

awesome interview http://matrixsynth.blogspot.com/2010/11/electric-independence-oneohtrix-point.html

love this dude more and more

^^

no chillwave side projects can tarnish him

if this is chillwave then im swag surfin

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtcaOKeeT5I

dude has an incredible ear

games ep is dope - posted abt how good it is in the lol chillwave thread

that interview is really endearing

yep, awesome interview. makes me appreciate OPN even more. seems like a real dude.

<3 that interview

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
