Damn!

Was at it too. Boring Angel was fuckin' special. Didn't really get a sense of the Myriad thing, really enjoyed it nonetheless. His female keyboardist (Kelly Moran, I think) was amazing.

yeah, i was very surprised with Kelly Moran.
i confess i felt very emotional during 'boring angel'.

Kelly Moran released an album on Warp in November

I don't think I knew she played with OPN, but she rules.

Yeah I need to find a better thread for Kelly Moran street promo team, it's so beautiful and lush, it's just exactly what I want from music right now.

Uncut Gems soundtrack (as Daniel Lopatin) is out now. I think the Good Time soundtrack was stronger, but this has some nice tracks.

why did he decide to release the sound on his own name?
i have the idea that the good time ost was released as opn, but i may be mistaken.

It was

had the Uncut Gems OST on as background music and twice caught myself thinking "what Vangelis album is this?"

otm, josh safdie mentions him here

His soundtrack was definitely one of the highlights of the film for me.

Bring it!

PHEW

thought that was forming MAGA at the end

that looks and sounds very cool! his soundtrack work has been so excellent recently, but i haven't really felt the urge to listen to them outside of the context of the films.

MAGIC

Just discovered this dude
In major love

Listen to eccojams!

listen to it all imo, he already has an incredible catalog

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btBrj7O1zKI

^^ first three songs, a 'suite', is up. Stoked for the whole thing!

feel kinda bored by his whole deal at this point :/

yeah he's a relic of the 10s imo, accelerationist art used to excite me but it jumped the shark with his 'music CEO' tour for AOE which went in one ear and out the other, far less than the sum of its parts. GOD is my favorite of his, it pushes the ugliness inherent in his aesthetic to the forefront and fuses it with the beta-as-alpha male musings that now seem so lame. five years ago i would have said he is the GOAT so, ... i'll probably return to some midpoint between the two, deep in the negative dialectic at the moment tho

i'm a little on the fence about him. every time I listen to R+7 I go through the same thought process..."this is brilliant" -> "nothing's really happening" -> "wait, it's over?". a think a lot of his albums are like that. but man sometimes they really do hit the spot

Eccojams is the only thing of his I go back to
New one above leaves me cold, though I did like his last LP somewhat

replica is brilliant, one of my very favorite albums of last decade

and all his old Juno jams of course

Lol, tough crowd... 'Relic of the 10s', really?

'Replica' and 'R+7', and also 'Eccojams', are unimpeachable imo. I didn't care much for 'Age Of', I couldn't vibe with the aesthetics of the whole thing. But seems a bit harsh to write this guy off as a 'relic' when he's consistently been on the forefront of things.

I can fairly say that his gig at the roundhouse last year was one of the most mindblowing experiences I've seen live...
'r plus seven' I think is the one where he reached his peak, but 'replica', for sentimental reasons, is possibly my favourite.
'garden of delete' is the only record of him that I'm on the fence, although today I kinda get it why he needed to make it.

His back catalog is just so fun to explore. And the hit rate is incredibly high considering how much stuff he puts out. Excited for this new one.

ok now i feel bad esp bc my own practice is influenced by his. i guess i just felt burnt seeing him flirt with nick land-style techno-nihilism from a positive rather than critical perspective, and felt the park ave armory show reflected that and then AOE sucked so ... kill yr idols i guess

No need to feel bad, I think that's perfectly fine! I'm just entirely ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ about people going "rip OPN, it's sad he was a relic of the '10s" after hearing a mere 5 minutes of the guy's new album.

If you're posting itt surely you'd have to cut him more slack than write him off based on an album teaser.

XP can you expand on that point regarding techno nihilism? I guess I’ve always assumed that because his music is so abstract that it’s hard to grok a political reading of it.

i thought the park ave armory show was kinda joyous, like a celebration of what can be done when art-industrial complex institutional money gets thrown around

if I'm honest I haven't flat out loved anything he's done since 'rifts' - but I kind of respect him for not sitting in that space indefinitely when he could've milked it

kind of got off the bus around R+7 but every so often I hear a track on Spotify and think I should give it all another go

I'm quite conscious that my ears evolve slowly and that OPN stuff that doesn't grab me on first listen often sounds better a few years later - which I guess is again credit to him as an artist who pushes forward/onward

i guess i just felt burnt seeing him flirt with nick land-style techno-nihilism from a positive rather than critical perspective

yeah i completely agree. r+7 was my favourite of his but garden of delete was a let down due to this and then age of was completely unmemorable

Age Of had one cool tune that sounded like a warped Devo song

all of the R records are great, glad to see other R+7 fans here. gonna be legit shocked if this album goes back to gorgeous synthwork.

Wild stuff

R7 is my fave, maybe because it was the first I heard from him. I bought it mainly because I liked the cover so much. Wanted to like AOE a lot more, but something about it just didn't fully gel. You could feel that he was really trying to stake out some territory there, perhaps that effort made it come across as underwhelming. I showed the Black Snow video to my 5 year old last night and she was enthralled but scared of the dude's teeth.

Russian Mind is the best of the early albums. I admire Garden of Delete but rarely want to listen to it.
