Guest jasondonervan Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Oneohtrix Point Never completists rejoice – Software will release a bumper sounding boxset of early and rare material next month. Entitled Rifts, the set essentially looks to expand on the 2009 compilation of the same name released on Carlos Giffoni's No Fun Productions label, which featured tracks from three of Lopatin's early LPs under the Oneohtrix Point Never moniker scattered across two CDs along with tracks from various rare and out of print CDr and cassette releases. This updated and expanded edition now comes in both 5xLP and triple CD format, presenting Betrayed In The Octagon, Russian Mind and Zones Without People in their original album context and supported by a raft of extra rare and out of print material. Many of the extra tracks that featured on the No Fun Productions release are present but Software have also dug further into the OPN archives to collate material from cassette only releases on NNA Tapes, Utmarken and Catholic Tapes. News of this deluxe boxset arrives with the following gem of a press release quote from Software: "With Rifts it is possible to zoom out on the OPN project and recognize Lopatin as both an auteur and alchemist; achieving a signature sound while drawing on a buried history of electronic music." It's the vinyl edition that sounds pretty special to us, with a deluxe slipcase housing each individually jacketed LP and just a one off pressing of 1,000 copies promised by the label. Frustratingly for the hardcore fans, it seems like the triple CD edition of Rifts has a slightly differing tracklist to the vinyl boxset, instead including several tracks from the Instrumental Tourist, which Lopatin recorded with Tim Hecker last year.* Software will release Rifts by Oneohtrix Point Never on 5xLP and Triple CD formats on November 19. *OPN confirmed on twitter that this isn't true.

sweepstakes Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Shit, I wonder how much the 5xLP is gonna be. Very tempting but I'll probably ultimately pass :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bitroast Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Strange there's 'Blue Drive' but no 'Gray-Level Objects Describing Bio Layers'. Those two tracks are some of my favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syd syside Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 OPN's best material and he seems to know it judging by how many times he's released some of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tauhid Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Rifts has already been re-pressed at least once. Interesting. Since the CD tracklisting is identical to the LP, I guess I'll pass. Maybe I'll purchase the last LP digitally if that becomes available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascdi Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Huh. I wonder what the packaging will be like. And the artwork will be different? I kind of like the old packaging and art (big thick fuckoff cardboard with that Konx graphic on the outside and psych weird sunset shit on the inner).

Guest Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 The artwork is great- hasn't Andy Votel made some stylistically related art's for Demdike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Available now at http://www.mexicansummer.com/shop/oneohtrix-point-never-rifts/ as well as the Tim Hecker collab. The cd version seems oddly cheap at just under 9 quid for 3 cds?! (who knows how much postage though) Bargain ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ascdi Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I actually read the website and now understand more the answers to my previous questions. The inclusion of the artwork from the original EPs makes sense; I sort of forgot about that consideration when previously posting. So, looks great, and affordable (on CD anyhow). I have the original version of Rifts but I'm psyched to pick this one up too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvatorin Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 -real fan but anyhow I got to say that these albums are really fantastic, music that one can really get lost and travel in. edit: that doesn't actually make sense. you don't get lost and travel. you travel and then take a wrong turn at albuquerque and then you're lost http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHrWHXL065g whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bitroast Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 No you're absolutely right. It's almost asif there's binaural beats or something in these songs that can just instantly put you in another, dreamlike state. Opn has def' become one of my favourite artists of recent years and its mostly due to these albums(or, the 2cd complication that was released earlier).

Guest bitroast Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 russian mind and betrayed in the octagon were going for $100+ on discogs so this does make sense. plus i like these more as the original sequenced albums plus extras. not just a mix up of all of them on 2 CDs. $58 is a steal too... est. shipping to new zealand though... $54. might have to see if i can get it cheaper somewhere else (or at least somewhere else where i can get a few more things too). really hope it doesn't sell out. Thinking along thes lines too. I want it but its so expensive with postage included. Will this be available in stores? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 the shipping is really ridicolous. To Germany it's more expensive than the 5xLP itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jasondonervan Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 the shipping is really ridicolous. To Germany it's more expensive than the 5xLP itself. Likewise to the UK, although that was with UPS. I bit the bullet, early Christmas present! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tauhid Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I'm sure Boomkat, Norman and some other European distributors will get copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
