Yeh the Suicideyear is real goodLast track gave me restaurant-panpipe-covers vibes
― nxd, Tuesday, 23 September 2014 15:59 (nine years ago) link
it is quite funny! first few tracks are awesome though, the terry riley-esque synths on the first song are especially good

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
― the late great, Monday, 13 October 2014 21:22 (nine years ago) link
This one will be a lot of drunk people in very elaborate halloween costumes.
― sctttnnnt (pgwp), Monday, 13 October 2014 21:23 (nine years ago) link
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
― the tune was space, Monday, 13 October 2014 21:24 (nine years ago) link
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!

This is interesting in that it feels original, but it's also kind of humorless and joyless
― puff puff post (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Friday, 30 January 2015 04:26 (nine years ago) link
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.
― Rainbow DAESH (ShariVari), Friday, 20 February 2015 19:50 (nine years ago) link
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.
― MaresNest, Friday, 20 February 2015 23:09 (nine years ago) link
Yep. Might be because I was in the front row but the OPN bits tended to completely drown out Mcvinnie. Good night, though.
― Rainbow DAESH (ShariVari), Saturday, 21 February 2015 11:39 (nine years ago) link
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)
― MaresNest, Saturday, 21 February 2015 12:33 (nine years ago) link
Ah ha! I'll remember that, thanks.

― flappy bird (spazzmatazz), Sunday, 29 March 2015 03:23 (nine years ago) link
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.
― misterjoshua, Saturday, 18 April 2015 18:39 (nine years ago) link
listening to this now. wow. that digital cut up thrash metal/video game boss music that kicks off Bullet Hell 1 melted my face.

http://www.eif.co.uk/2015/oneohtrix#.VdomGUIdIlI
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.

i really respect Lopatin for doing something drastically different for each record while maintaining a singular and instantly recognizable voice
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 23 September 2015 23:50 (eight years ago) link
agreed.
it always takes me about 8 listens before i really come to like each new record.

He's like a punk ambient Autechre.
― octobeard, Thursday, 24 September 2015 07:23 (eight years ago) link
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.
