Oneohtrix Point Never - Again (Full Album) 

it's like a whole soft rock song taken and thrown into a pit of pure magic

like the books on 0.5 speed. my favorite so far

❤plastic antique ... genuine antiques supposed to be one hundred years old, and so this cut.🎉

Starts off like classic The Orb, ends up like a grunge ballad.

So was chocolate mescaline in 1972 in West Hartford...

had similar experience 10 years ago after first listening of "R Plus Seven", kinda felt that moment already became like a bookmark when it comes to fully experiencing by the act of listening, since then every album has driven me to yet unimaginable sonic coordinates by that moment, oftenly coming to mind Stanley Kubrick's quote "If it can be written, or thought, it can be filmed". Every new record hits like stepping the moon for the first time....Again.

It’s Wonderful isn’t it ❤

bro watch the road

tried to upvote you but I already had months ago.

I also noticed that

Plastic Antique seems to actually sample the now-decade-old Problem Areas. this is so fun edit. jesus that’s probably why it’s called that. the synth opening Problem Areas is the most “plastic” sound i’ve ever heard

Isn't it also the same first note as Age Of?

​@@dwangnoderborasounds like it

I’ve been listening since Magic OPN. I liked this guy’s music both solo, and his work with The Weeknd.

Just introduced, any recommendations?

@@sirhambone I’d recommend starting from R Plus 7 and then go either forward if you want more pop-leaning/higher production value stuff or backwards if you’re more into the ambient/low key moody stuff. But any OPN is worth checking out they’re all very different from each other. Have fun exploring his discography!

@@sirhambone you almost have to listen to his music chronologically to fully appreciate it or "get" it but R Plus 7 is a great place to start, then re-listen to Garden of Delete until it "clicks" then you're ready for the rest. For songs that stand on their own, Music for Steamed Rocks, Boring Angel, Chrome Country and Child of Rage are all highlights, but most of his stuff works best as a full album listen, each one is a little journey into a very specific place. And if you end up liking all of that James Ferraro's early stuff and Steve Reich can help fill the hole that will now exist in your heart from not having anything that comes close to fulfilling that musical realm.

cringe ....

Agreed so far at least

Easily.

I sent my GF "A Barley Lit Path" when it dropped because I had been talking to her about his music a bit, I think I maybe showed her a song off of Age Of or R Plus Seven but she's not an OPN nerd like us- but I'd been talking with her for a few months and sending songs before the album rollout even started. When I sent "A Barley Lit Path" she said it was one of her favorite songs I'd sent her, and I replied "I'ts one of the best ones I've ever heard in general". We actually listened to the record together when I got the vinyl, I told her I loved her for the first time while we were listening to "Krumville". I will never forget this album it already holds a deep spot in my heart.

I'm not super familiar with the whole of his discography, but I discovered zones Without People while looking for books by Cioran. I really enjoyed that one, then a friend recently showed me some of his newer work, which struck me as much more, melodic, even though it keeps many of the noise elements. This album also does a wonderful job of blending both aspects of his work - noise and samples combined with a diverse array of more melodic influences. Man those synths and guitars in parallel! Also I'm just looking at his discography on bandcamp now and seeing that before Zones he had two albums that borrowed Cioran book titles. Safe to say he's a fan! :)

i am not sure it's always beneficial to look at a series of releases as some necessarily linear progression. our brains don't often work that way, either; you incorporate new tools and influences over time but how can you ever really make something "new"? our entire existence can be summed up as a persistent "repackaging [of the] past". what we hear is a process, packaged up, and that package will *always* contain the past.

@@joseph-zoramcbride4029 That's crazy you had the inverse experience lol, I discovered Emil Cioran because of OPN. But the philosophical context of his albums is always fascinating. Zones Without People is such a wonderful album too, that first song Computer Vision is actually still up on his old RU-vid channel SunsetCorp. The echoes of synthetically encapsulated memories is a textual backbone of all of his work, the music is almost inseparable from the heady idea space you experience while listening and reflecting on it. The most philosophically vexing of his songs is Black Snow in my opinion. Unraveling the dark underground cyber gothic inspirations of that songs lyrics is an exercise in internet archaeology. Diving into the repulsive conspiratorial and hate filled occultism of the writings the song's lyrics are an allusion to is a media experience I'll never forget.

Exactly, I was thinking that when I heard World Outside.

yes!

You will find a lot of details

Those whining synths wailing higher and higher as the rest of the music swirls around it and gets lost in the whirlwind of sounds, it's absolutely beautiful. Kind of haunting, in a way, at least to me. Easily one of the best cuts on the album.

Yes. It felt like I was hearing both The Pure and the Damned and Wave Idea being made into one different song.

came to mind Black Dog's "It Felt Like It" melody on the intro, as it evolves the whole vibe gets overwhelming

I agree

Check out his compilation albums Rifts if you like the synth/ambient stuff. Replica for more sampled ambient - his two most relaxing / ambient albums and you can really hear them in this album IMO.

@@Jay-oz5zo Thank you for suggestions! Will definitely check those out.

@@Nidht No prob!

Sayin! This might honestly be my AOTY

they haven't been relevant in ages

why wasting your time reading their review lol

@@robertusaprilyanto2194 Pitchfork used to be on the pulse of what was new and good, back when I was in college and even into my 20's. I don't know where they fell off. There's so much trash music these days, I don't know how they think this album isn't genius.

Oh yeah, this is masterful! So glad to hear KCRW continues their tradition of being awesome!

also came to mind that connection! plus less dark or agressive memorabilia vibes version of the already displayed ones in "Garden of Delete"

True

it can be mastery for you but not for everybody. who cares about pitchfork reviews anyway

I always go against what the critics say weather it’s for movies, music, or tv. They’re always wrong about everything

Fuck em. This is great. Stopped caring about reviews ages ago.

​@fathank1629 they're paid🫰🏻

Everything ever made with the slightest amount of hype is a masterpiece to you people

you should try not wiping your ass and telling everyone you smell like roses.
