Oneohtrix Point Never - Age Of

[SeparateHold]

That sucks if it's true. Rudnick did an excellent job with them.

Also, those weird voices inbetween songs say these things:

"Utopia, your mothers murderer. A hollow cell stands before you."

"Project soul; a sing drop, the stage of Elysium. She cannot let it go."

"The silence of the forest, engraved into history. A late medieval ballad (author unknown) will revolutionize the world. All in the name of true nature."

"Shadows to the void. Nature - reveal the storm, reveal the citadel."

"welcome back to the new nightmare. The moon shines brightly upon puppet. Held by the strings of his own captors."

"The raven laughs; transcending history and the world. For your greatest obsession. Is none other than yourself."

As for what any of that means, this stuff would make alot more sense if I could see what it's referring too, but since i couldn't see the LA M.Y.R.I.A.D show i'll just go off of what I know. 

The new nightmare refers to the age of Bondage, the fourth epoch of M.Y.R.I.A.D. Puppet is a character (in my eyes the protagonist) of this epoch. He can be seen in the black snow music video, and in that one OPN press shot. His "captors" I think refers to the nine squares, which are basically infinite beings of wisdom and power. M.Y.R.I.A.Ds gods pretty much. That's all I can explain, with any certainty. I can theorize about the other stuff but aaaa idk.

(P.S., if this long ass post breaks any guidelines I'm sorry, I'm super new 2 watmm xd)

Yeah the Barbican show had pretty basic info (I think it might have just been a printout, I don't 100% remember). And do not apologise for long winded posts, being an obsessive weirdo is v much encouraged here.

I remember reading something about the 9 squares being his 9 albums

I think the black background is an allegory of Boards of Canada's fabled release

It already has! That M.Y.R.I.A.D show was the final one. The myriadic saga is over, with all the EPs being released, and all the M.Y.R.I.A.D shows being finished.

 

Really liked how narrative driven this release was, hope the next one continues that trend.

I think there might be a little too much Salvia in the Salvatorin....

UPDATE: Obtained scans of the quasi-libretto, soon to obtain a physical(!) copy. Anyone willing to help crop the scans? I don't have any software capable of doing these things. (Editing PDF files.) If you're able to help, please shoot me a dm on twitter!

i know this was already answered but i disagreed with the answer. I would say r+7 is the best starting place. It's (to my knowledge creeping forums and such) his most liked album, this is the best starting place. 

[YangYing]

false

[SeparateHold]

Why's that? :0

[Ivan Ooze]

Why's that? :0

Mixl2 trippin 2 hard in space
I also agree r+7 is a solid starting point
