what's that sound in zebra you're talking about? the silver wool kind of voice that pops up at a minute in?

Ha! Wile that is great, the sound I meant is the first synth stab that starts off the song, the first sound that kicks it off and is repeated throughout. If I'd knew my chords I would have been able to tell if it was a C or a D, but I mean the first sound, synth stab. It's so crystal clear a sound, living with me eve rain s I first heard it, and I just can't get enough.

Skyramps is dope and Games is pretty good too.

Never heard the Skyramps one before. This is really beautiful, perfect for Saturday morning.

I was just about to post how much it sounds like Mark McGuire, turns out it's a collaboration with him.

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

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

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.
― dmr, Tuesday, 20 August 2013 19:30 (ten years ago) link
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)
― dmr, Tuesday, 20 August 2013 19:32 (ten years ago) link
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.

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 Herehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sR7eADGQYg8
Is it fairly typical? Like a restrained, measured VVM.
― djh, Monday, 23 September 2013 19:30 (ten years ago) link
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.
― Z S, Monday, 23 September 2013 19:47 (ten years ago) link
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

this one is kind of a mid-point between his 'normal' stuff and the Chris de Burgh thing?
― opie dead eyed piece of shit (Merdeyeux), Monday, 23 September 2013 20:07 (ten years ago) link
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

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.

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.
