oneohtrix point never

i'm slowly making my way through the recent recommendations, but this is particularly excellent:

search: http://www.discogs.com/Borden-Ferraro-Godin-Halo-Lopatin-Frkwys-Vol-07/master/353721

probably would have been my #1 album of 2011 had i been with it enough to know if it back then

games made some really cool mixes of slowed down 80's r&b & synth stuff, i really really like em

isn't rifts a collection of early stuff tho?

Skyramps - Last Time I Saw You

I've been listening to the Frkwys Vol 07 release and i'm really enjoying it.

what other non lopatin related artists or albums can i try that have a similar sound to this?

I thought it was a proper album but it came out when I was first becoming aware of 0PN so maybe I just didn't know it had all been out before. I know some of the tracks like "Russian Mind" were released as singles.

aha

"Rifts is, for now, everything you'll need from Oneohtrix Point Never. A two CD collection compiling three of Lopatin's full-length albums - Betrayed In The Octagon, Zones Without People and Russian Mind - along with a selection of lost tracks and sundry rarities"

(via a review in the quietus)

as most people said above the skyramps record is a keeper. best thing mcguire ever did imho - on par with some emeralds stuff and only behind, dunno, 'under pressure' with aaron dilloway, i guess.

'artificial energy' by infinity window is also a good one. same goes for the split with axolotl.

as for opn, 'scenes with curved objects' and the 'memory vague' dvd are also of interest. but yeah, most of the early stuff that matters is on 'rifts' - tho there's a really great song on 'transmat memories' ('hyperdawn'?) that it's not included, iirc.

maybe check out david borden's 70s stuff with mother mallard portable masterpiece co. really proto-rifts opn type stuff.

this is good:

Many thanks for that David Borden- I had no idea...

I guess a lot of the material in the Problem Areas video was from this guy's art exhibition

http://www.ratio3.org/artists/takeshi-murata

(he directed the video)

Takeshi Murata is pretty influential as a precursor of datamoshing, fyi

10trix was okay live... though much of what made it work felt like the setting. More shows should be in cathedrals.

This is the first Oneohtrix Point Never track I've knowingly heard:

Nobody Here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sR7eADGQYg8

Is it fairly typical? Like a restrained, measured VVM.

never heard that before!

but no, not typical at all, at least for his last 4 albums or so. however he does a ton of work outside of the OPN moniker (as documented in many posts above), so it's possible that he has a side project that features more looping vocals, like this one.

i think that one was part of a video compilation he did called 'memory vague'. most of them sound like his other stuff, but there were some other vocal loops iirc

Thanks.

I should plough through the thread, really.

this one is kind of a mid-point between his 'normal' stuff and the Chris de Burgh thing?

he was interviewed on the Freakzone the other night, and described his formative musical experience as being hearing Phil Collins whilst sat in the dentist's chair having his teeth drilled. Suddenly it all makes sense!

i swear i made a "semi-conscious phil collins" reference at the show

^ anyone been bold enough to watch this yet?

Still Life (Betamale)'s video (directed by Jon Rafman) explores the darker recesses of the internet and the absolute rot in the heart of the beta males who frequent said recesses. As such, you see voyeuristic videos of niche fetishses like furries, tracking shots of decaying keyboards, the literal darkness of grubby bedroom PC setups to blinding flashes of violent Hentai.

you know, after the RIP NSFW thread, that was surprisingly not jarring. i am jaded now i guess.

haha, was about to post the same thing

Gentlemen, YOU are the dark recesses of the internet.

i'm sorry but i can't read your post due to my cool furry penis i have attached that's blocking the screen

literally got cockblocked

friends of mine worked for the artist who made that vid

picked up r plus seven early but probably will not listen until after the release date, this new direction is leaving me kind of cold

i take it back, that was awesome

^_^

irie

is it vapor wave?

canyon.midcore

was also wary but now am sold

good listen b2b w/ huerco s

The fox mudpool thing is kind of upsetting

The tune is pretty swell though

On first listen, I like R Plus Seven better than Replica (the only other Oneohtrix release I've heard). But what I'm really jonesing for is another Ford & Lopatin album.

listen to rifts!

He just did a long podcast for XLR8R: http://www.xlr8r.com/podcast/2013/09/oneohtrix-point-never

omg this album is so the inheritor of sakamoto's "esperanto"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j630kEUq6Vw

whoa, ok, now I'm interested!

i've been playing r plus seven every day and listened to rifts, returnal, replica and r plus seven in a row last night. really cool to immerse myself in the progression of his sound. my brain kind melted tho.

get a philippe saisse feel from this

good listen b2b w/ huerco s
