Oneohtrix Point Never in conversation with cult artist Jim Shaw - On AI and Algorithms, “Sour Registers,” and The Nightmare on Elm Street (SSENSE) Celineformation: "But long story short, in homage, I composed this piece called “Toys 2” because I really have very few memories of Toys with Robin Williams, but I thought, "Okay. This will be my proof of concept for Robin Williams’ posthumous CGI return, which will break his request in the will, and it will be a controversial item, and it's going to be this big moment in culture. I'll just make the music now." I had this strange kind of kazoo sound and it's playing this strange lullaby on top of these other things that somehow quoted Céline Dion. I’m thinking we must be reaching the end of a harmonic epoch. There's only so many permutations of the chromatism left to uncover."

Monody definitely on the 90s Warp tip with a highly recognisable OPN signature. If I didn't know better I'd say it was left on the cutting room floor for the Good Time soundtrack, but is no less raspy and fun, regardless of its origin. Blow by Blow feels to me like a sideways "Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence", which, given OPN's rework of a Ryuichi Sakamoto piece makes total sense for connecting the dots. Trance 1 is my 'final track of Age Of' jam, seeing how I listen to the Japanese edition out of habit, so nothing new to say there really. I think we're due at least another EP out of this album, and with talk of it being a while til the next album, I hope it comes out with all NERF guns blazing.

Rested it for a couple of weeks. Due some thunderstorms over the next day or so, might be an appropriate time to fit in an NTS sesh. 4 would be a beaut during a big downpour.

Pitchfork review - 6.5 "The Station is an EP for hardcore fans who relish digging through Lopatin’s odds and ends. Its 14 minutes of previously unreleased material don’t bear any significant resemblance to the vocal-led title track, and the record makes no discernible overarching statement." " “Trance 1” is its highlight, four minutes of zithering synth clouds and gaping drone that perfectly realize the song’s space-is-the-place intentions, while “Monody” pairs Age Of’s occasional forays into medieval harpsichord with a nasty-sounding breakbeat that opens up to reveal Lopatin’s approximation of a proper rave track. The glassy “Blow by Blow” is the collection’s weakest cut, a five-and-a-half minute suite of processed chord-shredding, water-droplet percussion, blasts of static noise, and synthetic euphoria that drifts between moods without quite cohering." "And then there’s “The Station.” ...with synth lines crashing in and out of the mix as noisy squeals erupt like a DDOS attack on the song's mainframe." "Boards of Canada"

Calling it now, Blow by Blow gets performed in some capacity at the Tokyo MYRIAD show. (or at the very least, it should be)

London show announced for next March (that's 2019, gulp)

500 copies is indeed accurate - details are from Beat Records site, who have been licensing Warp stuff since the 90s (post-Sony love-in). Japanese retailers selling preorders also give notice of the limited specification. Tsutomo Noda is legit - he started ele-king (music magazine) in the mid 90s, it's still going. He has provided liner notes for all Warp releases that receive localised Japanese versions under Beat Records cat numbers. Derrick May interviewed him once. This will be a rare Warp release that won't see any bonus tracks for the Japanese version. In fact, the only differences will be an obi strip, and whatever licensing info is added to the CD box/sleeves mentioning Beat Records. I don't forsee any kind of 'limited no. x of 500' marking.

New Autechre EP?

They back up now folks, 2legit2quit

I would re-up them, but tbh they're clearly intended to drop this week alongside the EPs, so don't want to tread on the toes of whomever at Warp is keeping a close eye on things.
