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?

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?

Yay!

Don't suppose anyone saw this at Edinburgh Festival last night?

Did Bullet Hell Abstractions with accompanying visuals from 80s Japanese shoot em up and then a score for Manga film Magnetic Rose. Magnetic Rose was a bit more conventional than his normal output but still packed an emotional wallop.

Really nice gig in lovely surroundings.

new.

Better after repeated listens. Looking forward to the record.

g0d is out there

"next level" (??) what? the fuck are these people on?

i really respect Lopatin for doing something drastically different for each record while maintaining a singular and instantly recognizable voice

agreed.

it always takes me about 8 listens before i really come to like each new record.

He's like a punk ambient Autechre.

kinda .. I don't get a punk vibe so much as, honestly, a millenial hipster vibe - and i mean that in the best possible way. pop/r&b as foundational. self-reflexivity, the ecstasy of influence.

and all of that coexists in his work with sounds and melodies so beautiful it makes me feel like i understand life's possibilities better ... shit.

the sound palette of R Plus Seven is still somewhat off-putting.. super synthetic, plastic, devoid of 'dirty' textures. it's interesting how the 'lush' parts (subjective) are so brief and fleeting, where returnal is super lush throughout (for the most part). lost interest with replica, parts of it recall philip jeck for me, but more rigid. the cut-up, repetitive, pitched up/down elements felt one-dimensional (moreso w/r+7). this (Garden of Delete) sounds more developed than r+7.. still haven't heard it in its entirety, but "Mutant Standard" is kick-ass. the music feels more rigid than autechre's, as plastic and fluid as it might be.. with autechre i get a sense of multiple patterns moving simultaneously, interlocking at parts, and completely ignorant of one another at parts.
