hoping it's half as good as drukqs

stoked for this

cover rules, garden of delete rules, videos for problem areas + sticky drama are so good

artist behind the stuff in problem areas is this dude http://www.ratio3.org/artists/takeshi-murata
floppy trombone / mcdonalds cup is a personal fav

This.

Just got tix for the Barbican thing. Although I think I'm more interested in the new record...

tbh GoD was kind of hard for me to crack and i gave up, but i still see him as firing on all creative cylinders right now.

i feel the same way

"he anticipates part of the narrative of his irrelevance by making a joke about zeitgeist and relevance with the no-longer-relevant cover"

oh yeah that's def what's happening ... that's the move that is riiiight at its sell-by date. but who's going to pull it off better than him?

love these snaps on "black snow"

yeah I dunno, not into this at all

Thought the same at first, but warming to it.

Feat. Anohni. Prurient's apparently on the new record too.

"Black Snow lyrics inspired by The Cybernetic Culture Research Unit, published by Time Spiral Press (2015)"

I have never heard of this and it is... something

ccru had a number of notable alumni/associates, not surprised!

there are a few people around here who could probably elaborate on that better than myself

Video > song

cool song

Sounds like the album has several ballads like this

basically the same chord progression as "praying" by kesha lol. i like it though. similar aesthetic to garden of delete, but less agro and more whimsical.

boneohtrix point iver

it reminds me a bit of his music with ford & lopatin. which i enjoy, but listen less frequently than OPN

i keep getting "wolves" vibes, rip kanye

Yeah, "wolves" is also what came to mind.

adore this song

It’s better than anything on GoD

nah, but it is good

Exactly

sticky drama was like my #2 song of that year so it's a high bar

Feel like he’s only a hair or two away from being as bad as Squarepusher at this point. A great shame.

Single sounds like some mopey drake robot shit

oneohtrix post malone

yeah i'm bummed out by all of this

I don't love the track, but I'm willing to check out the album.

i'm not a huge fan of his vocoder stylings but i still want to hear it in the context of the rest of the album.

For sure

p cool

A bit apprehensive about the CCRU ref, but the track is v. cool. Stoked for the album.

Track is dope. Really come around to it.

Defeated minimalist noise dry throat post apocalyptic “robot drake shit” ballad.

i like this song

full album art is great. partic the cd.

yeah, it looks fantastic. that's a lot of lyrics! not sure how i feel about that but we'll see

that is pretty sweet.

love the sound waves on the tracklists, border community used to do that

enhance those sound waves! we need to fully recreate the album from these images alone.

that CD looks amazing, holy cow

Lopatin's preferred format. Unsurprisingly. Also comes with a booklet, the LP doesn't.

Might buy my first CD in a decade.

I have a bad feeling about this one, and his trajectory as an artist... Nevertheless looking forward to hearing it soon.

dude's been shedding/gaining fans with each album from Returnal onward. that's been one constant.

I dig the “Ecco” graphic and its presumed reference to eccojams

Ecco harvest excess bondage

Come on Flappy you can't just drop this and not say *why* you feel bad about his "trajectory" as an artist.. Why the bad hunch?

Artwork is very special.

I think I said some stuff upthread. Just doesn't seem conceptually interesting or emotionally engaging - the singles, at least. Like I've said before the beautiful thing about Replica and R Plus Seven are that they are brilliant conceptually/intellectually AND the music is utterly original and moving. Garden of Delete was a cool concept but it's not an enjoyable listen for me. This, I just don't know what to make of. Sounds like boring pop music. Definitely not going to ditch him though, and I can't wait to hear the record. I just... it's an awful thing when an artist you love and whose work you find compelling and exciting in ways that are ineffable or very difficult to describe... starts making work that's almost a parody or cliche take on what they've done before...

Sounds like boring pop music.

what up it's your boy post malone jammin out to the only station that's bumpin the latest 0pn noise dirge, mix 96.1
