No more or less weird than the late 80s Jarre and early 90s FSOL that Dan plunders for his ideas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't loved anything this fella has done since r+7 but always worth checking out nonetheless. Yeah, they are relatively subtle if not looking. Someone please help this person: It was @Capsaicin that first got me to listen to Rifts back when it was new. It didn't hit me at first, but I gave it a few listens and have loved his stuff since (especially "R Plus Seven" and "Garden of Delete").

purlieu Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Really enjoyed the new track. Curious to see what the album's like. Last two had some great moments and were really creative but just tonally off for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hello spiral Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Cool vid, music felt almost incidental to the video, just providing the soundtrack. Will wait to see if it seems better in context of the album. Yeah opn hasn't been 'weird' in a long time. Someone the other day said 'coldplay for 'creatives' ' and that feels grimly correct. hated the last album after one listen, was lukewarm on Age Of. Will still check this new one out.

someguy Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 it leaked lol Spoiler very much made as a retrospective release, probably my favorite release of his on the first few listens; there's a TON of R+7 and Rifts-sounding material here while still treading new ground (the synthwork in Again and Plastic Antique are insane). a little bit of everything here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'd play any track from Magic OPN or Age Of... on the radio most people would get a stroke. People that say he hasn't been weird in a while need to go back and listen to his albums again because compared to 'normal' popular music his shit has always been weird as fuck. The only thing that would make him less weird is the one time he had the weeknd on a track of his I guess. Anyway, I love age of and magic opn and I return to them quite a lot, more than I thought I was going to. Also love that Warp didnt announce this album 5 months before release (like they do with most releases these days). I wanted to check out the leak so I skimmed through it. Turned it off after a couple of skips because the leak was such bad quality (but the snippets sounded weird alright). 10 days remaining!

xfxf Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) the leak quality isn't _that_ bad, just sounds like it's been ripped from a streaming service. sounds on par with spotify level stuff? it'd be nice if this would hurry bleep up into just releasing it sooner.... i mean do opn fans have sufficient impulse control Edited September 19, 2023 by xfxf 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairuzosman Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) Yea it isn’t 320kbps but I’m so glad he’s back making stuff like this. Body trail and nightmare paint are incredible. Couldn’t get into the last 2 much I even went to age of gig 3 times, they were a bit meh. The garden of delete show at village underground was incredible tho Edited September 20, 2023 by fairuzosman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I chucked three version of the released track into a spectrum analyser - the leaked track, the bleep actual-320kbit mp3 and flac. pretty evident the source of the rip was fairly low bitrate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just put it on for the first time, amazing stuff. There's this way older (probably) academic piece with early voice synth tech that I'm struggling to find, thought it was Silicon Valley Breakdown by David Jaffe but that's strings, not voice.
