https://oval.bandcamp.com/album/now-never-whenever-vol-1

Markus Popp has created a gorgeously lush soundscape on this initial release. Limited for 24 hours on Bandcamp Friday, and it comes with name your own price.

First in a series - if it's all as good as this first volume, we're in for a treat!

Go get it quick!

Glad I caught this on time, almost missed it

Spoiler

you're a stupid idea. Joking only - much love for you D-Lo.

A little gimmicky but I think he's just having fun and promoting Bandcamp Fridays. I paid him a couple of euros for a beautiful little single.

Damn I missed it!

Por favor.

It is good! Great little single with 3 gorgeous tracks. Lush, glitchy, goodness.

Thanks for the heads up! I hadn't seen the usual e-mail from bandcamp.

The second one is good. I completely missed the first one though.

Did you manage to pick up the first one? He released Vol.1 and 2 for the day as well.

They’re really good. This has prompted me to work through Oval’s back catalogue too. Really enjoying it

I feel like I repeatedly I find myself being reminded of how creative and groundbreaking his work is.

Some of these recent volumes have made me reconsider the 'O'-era stuff too, which I had dismissed at the time as not for me. Maybe I should go back and give it another shot.

Just listening to this now, that first track "Ontario" is wild!

First track on today's release is from that era, but way more structured. It reminds of Jim O'Rourke.

Vol.5 of Now/Never/Whenever dropped today. Some lovely bits on there.

I'm sure I've heard track 3 from somewhere many years ago - Like a teaser trailer or something (maybe for an Oval album itself ... not sure!)

From the notes:

”3 - Glass UFO (2011)

This track was hidden away on the DVD-ROM disc of the physical release of my "OvalDNA" album, which has been out of print for a while now. In fact, I hid an entire album's worth of rare tracks on that data disc, so l at least wanted to bring this one back for this EP series - maybe the perfect opportunity to youtube the quirky music video Amberley Productions did for Glass UFO back then. I still can't quite get my head around that drum pattern, though, but I will someday.”

Found where I heard it from .... the music video for it mentioned in the above quote from over 10 years ago (yikes, time flies)
