The Body Trail amazes me everytime. Again nevertheless seems to have fallen in WATMM's oblivion, might be OPN least discussed album on the board (nobody even linked the Nightmare Paint music video ?) Reveal hidden contents Sadly, for me, for some reason, OPN took the "meme popstar" route, which I believe is frustratingly mediocre and bad, starting with Replica. I think most of his post-lush ambient albums are extremely overrated, not bad tho. Edited January 11 by logakght 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbpete Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Curious as to how blemp thought 95 quid (+p&p) was an even remotely sensible price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Key Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Prob cause it lights up and is signed by the artist. Bit of a strange time to release something like this way after the hype has died down, tho I reckon there will be enough solvent megafans that will snap it up. Out of curiosity I just looked up the Syro limited edition version with the metal casing on discogs to see how well these kind of things hold their value and they are now going for £1.5 grand. It remains to be seen whether opn can match afx for that kind of interest/value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stock Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I really love the packaging, they really went full 90s-beige plastic on this one ! Always been fond of OPN aesthetic, I revisited the Kaoss Edge fanpage the other day and it still is amazing imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerwolf Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (edited) Is anything good value nowadays? As for the OPN box I also like it, but I don't have a spare £100 floating about. Quite nice though. Edited February 7 by beerwolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fumi Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I'm a huge fan of this artist. If the album had been stellar, I might have pulled the trigger on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleMoustache Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Worth noting there is a FAR cheaper “Standard Edition” of the blu ray via his Bandcamp/Bleep. https://oneohtrixpointnever.bandcamp.com/album/again I have it on order, and have fairly high expectations. The Atmos mix for Magic OPN, which came a full calendar year after its original release is very good… on streaming… now that they’ve fixed it. It was uploaded to streaming completely broken, with many tracks completely silent for 3 minutes, with a single stem… then silence again. The mix on the blu ray they put out seems busted in a different way, in that it’s mostly front heavy with very sparse effects throughout. The streaming version, once fixed is genuinely great.

Stock Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Spent the last few hours chilling in le 104 where OPN is playing tonight. The place is crowded by people learning how to breakdance. Did not see Mr Lopatin while I was there drinking a beer. I can't wait !! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxx Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 How did it go Stocko? Does he press play on "Again" or does he haul out any other hits? Close on "Chrome Country"? I'll see him in 2 weeks but my curiosity is killing me lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see him in 2 weeks but my curiosity is killing me lol. i saw him in london a week ago. the setlist was around 50% 'again', 50% everything else. and when i say everything else, i do mean everything else. it was way more varied than the last time i caught him. proper career spanning stuff, even going back as far as rifts. the visual aspect of the show was hella mighty too, but i won't spoil. have a good one, brother!

The whole show really encapsulates what OPN is about imo and had several jaw dropping moments (in the literal sense, I was really amazed and had my mouth open auite a few times lol. Music was incredible with most of the tracks being reworked for the show, including the Rebuild versions of Rift era track (I guess ? Did not listen to the bootlegs of the Rebuild shows but they NEED an official release). It also rekindled my love for Again. Hope you'll have a good time ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxx Posted Wednesday at 03:36 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:36 PM Damn-- if you're in any way a fan, this show was like a religious experience. I was losing it start to finish on how awesome everything was. I'm glad I went in blind. Another notable thing is that almost no one made use of their phones. I hated to break the norm but there were so many parts where I was like "I gotta fuckin snag a bit of this lush". There is an Instagram trend on certain reels where someone comments "guys will see this and say 'hell yeah'" and that was The Metro Chicago last night. About 1,000 guys going "hell yeah" lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
