  1. Jack It

     

    In a futuristic dystopia everyone is "jacked into" the Fun Zone, a virtual world where masturbation is illegal. It is up to the Rub Outs, an elite hacker team, to bring masturbation back and save everyone. In the "climax" of the movie the protagonist hacks into the mainframe and broadcasts himself masturbating live direct to everyone's feed, causing everyone to realize what they are missing and free themselves from the system.

  2. *Chinglish shirts*

    My favorite one of these was this middle aged Chinese woman wearing a shirt that said something like "I'm the one you gotta blow around here to get a beer". The best part was that she was walking around my Christian high school during our yearly flea market. My sister once got one that said "sexy boys crack king".

    Coolest bits on this album are the pitched up (or, fucked with at least) vocals. Kind of reminds me of PC Music.

    But the style is so overused.. It recalls Holly Herndon's recent full-length album, the abundance of those high-pitched vocals. It's so cluttered and insubstantial-sounding. My favorite elements are the more densely-layered bits, pummeling tracks like "Mutant Standard," and the parts where the prettier elements become more muddled and dissonant. "Child of Rage" is a successful track, though

     

    I mean, they're overdone in like, one tiny corner of the market which is mainly just PC Music. I was unaware of Holly Herndon, but after listening to it I can see the connection. However her vocals sound very organic and almost remind me more of Django Django's Default than the post-nightcore vocals of G.O.D. and PC Music. I'm pretty sure most of the vocals on G.O.D. are actually vocaloids. I don't think the style in the way Oneohtrix did it in this album is overused.

  4. my favorite parts are too short :(

     

    those parts being 3:18 on mutant standard when those dreamy synths kick in <3 omg i gasmed during that part

    I feel this way, too. Several times on the album it gets to a point where I'm really starting to get into the music, and then it just stops. I get that this is his thing, but can't you hold out bit longer? Like 1:50 in Mutant Standard, or 2:46 in Freaky Eyes. I'm literally almost in tears at those parts, but then it gets cut off.

  5. Were dmt tapes the ones that would charge for albums and then never ship them? Underground vaporwave releases that barely anyone buys seems like one of the least profitable ways to scam people.

  6. have you compared leak to the sample track I BIte Through It ?

    i haven't done any hardcore audacity side by side analysis but just jumping back and forth between the two, the youtube sounds way nice and not so high-heavy

     

    I was worried about this, I think I can kinda hear it now that I compare the two (albeit on crappy laptop speakers). That could explain why the highs are so harsh on some of the album.

    Yeah it could have been someone at the CD plant (as a lot of leaks are apparently).

    Really digging the album, my only problem is its not long enough.. I dont wanna wait another 2 years for new material.

     

    He is good, very fucking good. Shame the leaks kick all the promo in the nuts a bit but still, the website was killer, the vids were great too. I lapped it up.

    On his redditama he mentions something along the lines of him not caring too much about leaks, think its almost inevitable.. Im sure he'll get paid a good deal regardless of sales.

    He also mentions AE and oversteps as a big influence/favourite so not a surprise you can kinda hear it

    were does he mention it ? god so many artists are influenced by ae but i didnt expect him so say that somehow.

     

     

    he loves ae and oversteps but doenst mean its an big influence

     

    He did call them a "north star", which seems to imply Ae are guiding him to some degree.

  8.  

    i always feel that something semi improvised or conceptual like a piece that fills an entire 30 minutes is the best way to present music likes his, but then again im old and out of touch. There was a poster here who said they used to see him play all the time with just a synth and some looper pedals (maybe they already posted in this thread?) that sounds really cool.

    There was an interview I think from around when Replica came out where he was talking about that Kid606 guy (Miguel something or other?) giving him shit about the Juno+looper setup, saying it was played out, and then he got to thinking about it and decided he was right. That guy sounds like such a smug prick and his music sucks too.

     

    Oneohtrix or Kid606?

    I really don't get how anyone could like those Kaoss Edge tracks. Those vocals are so shitty and the lyrics are cheesy as hell. They sound like very rough and unfinished drafts that Daniel put together in about an hour (or less). At least Bite Through It obviously had some effort put into it.

    It's all about the a e s t h e t i c s . They sound sort of like cyber goth/industrial from a videogame.

     

    *video*

     

    But it's shit. Why would I listen to shit? And industrial music sounds nothing like those Kaoss Edge tracks. This is industrial music:

    *video*

     

    Muzak is shit but vaporwave is still cool.
