oneohtrix point never

revived this to say i went down a youtube clickhole of Flim & the BB's tracks (my parents had seriously bad taste) and, well, i wonder if mr. 1-0 is into them? google reveals only two common mentions on the whole internet

I listened to the entire Rifts box set front to back last weekend. it was quite good, but IMO R Plus Seven trumps anything in here.

DEFINITELY go see him live, however. his set at Big Ears back in March was so great that I didn't even think about leaving early to catch the Jonny Greenwood thing (although I ended up catching the last 30 minutes of it and it was totally badass). he's not a particularly dynamic performer - it was very much one of those electronic music sets where it looks like the artist is just aggressively checking his email - but who gives a shit when the music + the visuals just engulf you. A++++ would absolutely see again.

i like some oneohtrix stuff all right -- "zebra" is totally a highlight -- but ford & lopatin! i want more stuff like that.

i think i probably underrated R Plus Seven at the time. i've always kinda likes OPN but never really delved that deeply into his catalog, but R Plus Seven stands out in my memory as a distinct, fascinating album. the video for Problem Areas really kinda hooked me into it.

i love when his juno gets all melodic whiny g-funk ("memory vague", "andro", etc)

I don't know who Gabi is, but this new song on Software is tremendous if you like stuff like Julia Holter or Katie Gately:

New Suicideyear album is great too - gaseous 0PN-style melodies on top of some booming bass heft

wait, i've only just clocked the sad trap MBV cover at the end of this suicideyear record

Yeh the Suicideyear is real good
Last track gave me restaurant-panpipe-covers vibes

it is quite funny! first few tracks are awesome though, the terry riley-esque synths on the first song are especially good

zebra makes me cry

think i may be about to accept this man as my lord and saviour, depends on his next move tho

What if he craps on your lawn?

ive not downloaded any of the stuff that appears in the crudely appended subtitle to this thread

no liability if u download any of that stuff and it turns out to be pretentious over rated bloody old rubbish

i don't know about this OPN-meets-trap type stuff

some of it is pretty cool, i guess

0PN is headlining the LACMA Costume Ball in LA this halloween: http://www.lacma.org/event/costume-ball

i saw him live awhile back, it was aight

it was a big venue where everyone was sitting on a carpeted floor, which i think helped immensely

This one will be a lot of drunk people in very elaborate halloween costumes.

if you want the OPN puzzle-style meets askew footwork w choppy edits/snippets vocal chirps, try the Giant Claw "Dark Web" album- i saw somebody post about it on Scott's "Now Playing" group and it's really good

wait r+7 came out over a year ago? that can't be right. that would mean i couldn't put it at the top of my 2014 ballot.

It came top 20 on the 2013 list iirc!

the oneohtrix tracks 'woe is the transgression' tracks from rifts is putting me in a Shining mood

This is interesting in that it feels original, but it's also kind of humorless and joyless

I hear loads of humour in the Giant Claw record! One of my favourites of recent times.

Organ collaboration with Nico Muhly tonight at the Union Chapel. Should be fun.

That was pretty disappointing on the OPN front, at times resembling a faux Sakamoto and for about two minutes sounding like somebody scrolling through presets on a Prophet 5, Muhly and Mcvinnie both excellent though.

Yep. Might be because I was in the front row but the OPN bits tended to completely drown out Mcvinnie. Good night, though.

I help out with the sound at the Chapel from time to time and the best place to get a balance between the stage and the organ is the balcony centre (a few rows back so you can pick up the speaker hang)

Ah ha! I'll remember that, thanks.

the new Co La record is going to be next level

!!! that's really good to hear. I've loved everything Matt P has been involved in. i hope he picks up the guitar again eventually

pleasantly surprised by this new EP, was expecting basically more of what we heard from Commissions I. Like, obviously this -sounds- like Lopatin but I didn't expect those specific dance elements in the Bullet Hell pieces.

listening to this now. wow. that digital cut up thrash metal/video game boss music that kicks off Bullet Hell 1 melted my face.

Gabi album on Software is everything i wanted, it's great!

the second commisions is the first thing ive liked from him in a while

'gabi' has potential for a comtemporary updating of this niche-ish classsic
So, How much of an Insufferable Music Snob are you?

new?
