oneohtrix point never

wound up tubing a bunch of recent PS. dug a lot of it, though "life ends at 30" is a clear standout in terms of well-balanced noise to beat ratio.

my jam

yeah, listened to that one a bunch of times

I have never known how to pronounce it due to no one in real life knowing who the fuck he is.

i know a few people irl who know who he is, they just don't like him. :(

^this. idgi what's not to like?

I'd thought the pun was '1-0-Tricks-Point-Never,' like digital_tricks.no_version

people heard the clinic remix record thing?

yeah, it's good. not a big clinic fan (or a hater), but i checked it out due to the opn connection. like it enough that i'm now interested in hearing the delopatinated version.

track two of 'betrayed in the octagon' is on a serious 'oh thank fuck i found the room with the typewriter and the item box' tip

so is track six to be fair

it's (weird? novel? heartening? on a deeper level terrifying?) how much the early stuff conjures up videogame associations for me but in real life

probably because in terms of tone generation/composition it's not far off 16-bit and 32-bit games (when the latter didn't go cd for their soundtracks ..) but the use of echo, delay, stereo space, recorder grot gives it a different sense of volume, engagement

New album out on Warp in September:
http://www.factmag.com/2013/06/19/oneohtrix-point-never-signs-to-warp-records-announces-new-album-r-plus-seven/

This move comes with brand new album R Plus Seven, which is billed by the label as being somewhat more structured than his previous experimental efforts, Warp say “the music itself comes as close as Lopatin has ever gotten to anything resembling traditional song structure” which certainly has our interest piqued.

R Plus Seven‘s predecessor Replica was Lopatin’s most developed (and for many most rewarding) record so far, and was proof that the producer had no intention of languishing in the dreamy Tangerine Dream worship of his formative releases. What exactly this might mean for the new record is unclear, but one thing’s certain – we can’t wait to find out.

...but i like the dreamy Tangerine Worship of his earlier releases! i've been digging Returnal most of all recently, since i managed to snag a relatively inexpensive lp of it up in nyc a few weeks ago

Replica owns.

i like the early pure synth stuff too; (cliche alert) the super arpeggiated stuff reminds me of being on LSD; continuously mutating forms, staring into infinity...

I didn't connect with Replica anywhere near the way I did with Returnal, but perhaps I need to give it a more thorough listen.

Album cover's a still from the very rad Swedish animation short THE RAVISHING OF FRANK N. STEIN:

yeah i thought returnal was much better than replica

nothing has topped rifts for me yet. it's such a compulsively listenable album ime/o

But how many albums is Rifts actually? I still haven't digested all the material on it by any means.

rifts is three albums and some singles, right?

i agree, it's still my favorite too

Replica is just a totally different beast, imo, barely sounds like the same artist (apart from some aspects of the sunsetcorp stuff).

when the synth choir comes in during "sleep dealer", it just kills me. Just this little subtle thing that evokes so much emotion. And then the playful flute sample that comes in... Delightful.

The RvNG album with opo, james ferraro, laurel halo, and daniel borden is really really lovely as well. More in line with the rifts/returnal stuff

Been thinking of checking out that RVNG record but the presence of Ferraro is like walking through a field on a pleasant day only to slip on a dog turd. Is his contribution suitably minimal?

everyone plays pretty chill on it. he doesn't get all "wacky" or w/e if that's what you mean.

those chords that come in at 1.15 are so so so so creepy

All my favourite electronic artist have or are releasing albums this year. I am so looking forward to this.

Really disturbing video.

yeah....

Only heard less than 5 minutes, but...album of the year?

going to rule

i am preemptively enjoying the uncomprehending disdain with which this will be met in many quarters. i am really excited tho, lopatin is the only person i really trust to occupy some post far side virtual, post vaporwave space

the song and video certainly seem more "post far side virtual" than "post vaporwave" to me

sounds like video games

Disappointingly and surprisingly like FSV. I'll still check out the record though.

vaporwave

Disappointingly and surprisingly like FSV

worried me but I'm into this

also, he's done stuff in this style before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cseTX_rW3uM

(video might be more disturbing than the new one, depending)

not sure i'm getting the disturbing aspect of the "problem areas" video. was troubled by drywall pringles tho. good track in any event. more interesting and evocative than anything on fsd.

and thanks for the "meet your creator" clip, lukas. wonderful and new to me.

if ppl weren't paying him attention in 2012 then I wld highly recommend his 'remix' of i only have eyes for you which is my fav thing he's done

Real post-vaporwave shit

been watching this video on repeat for the last 3 days - so queasily mesmering

this has leaked.

This is messing with my head in the best possible way.

Have you guys heard this old Alan Braxe remix?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r34sb_zSgq0

haven't listened to the new one yet. but in general, i've been obsessing over rifts, returnal, and replica. does anyone have an opinion on the earlier releases? he's got so much stuff - full lengths, cassettes, weird comps, singles - what's essential?
