Boards of Canada Oneohtrix Point Never

i think its pretty good. and keep in mind people were doing similar things to the artists you mentioned long before they were ever around.

peter rehberg put one lp (the "russian" one) in his best of list of 2009, so i'll give it a listen.

sorry, that wasnt Oneohtrix Point Never but Emeralds, that was on P.Rehberg list, i got confused with another band signed to Nofun.

ever heard about them btw ? i'm getting lost with all those new drones bands.

only heard about them in the wire top 50 ... a few good tracks on that double album, but then mostly new age shite

lol, have they made a new genre now? nice. i will say that i saw KFW on a limited-edition cassette with this oneohtrix guy, so i may have to go through his back catalogue now ...

it's definitely good for what it is. I haven't heard Returnal though i'll check that out.

oneohtrix is my favorite discovery of 2010

great stuff

yeah me too, its bloody fantastic.

oneohtrix point never is a horrible name, it's awkward even by idm standards.

i refuse to like this guy because i never want to have to say that name to anybody.

It's new age music. I guess everything becomes cool if you wait long enough.

LOL

I like some of his music

This one is a new track of his under his other name called "Games":

great tune

i'm a big fan of his stuff - he does the detuned synth/vhs culture thing better then everybody else

Still can't get over this track. Especially the second half.

Laser to laser off of Rifts is the absolute heat.

the kind of criticism being placed on this guy are basically my opinions on all ambient music.

not that that makes me correct, but structureless music is hard to assess in terms of "skill", so really its just a sort of thing you like or don't.

having said that, I think heard one track from this guy I really loved, like a mix of drone and 8-bit, but I forgot the name.

haha, don't let that stop you from listening to oneohtrix... good stuff.

I must say, thank you Maximus for turning me on to this.

if 'skill' is how you judge music then i guess you are a huge fan of metal huh? those guys have amazing skill with their guitar playing..

very nice, reminds me A LOT of the Panzer Dragoon Saga music for Sega Saturn, brings back memories. It seems like he's striking a lot the same chords that Oval struck for me back when they were super cutting edge

what... no. I'm on your side.

i don't personally enjoy ambient music, but the skill thing is a different point directed at some of the other comments.

wutevz

strangely, it took me a couple of months to get into this album (Rifts). at first it sounds like some musician falling asleep over his juno (even if, to me, a musician falling asleep over his juno is the description of the best music on planet earth) but its way more clever than that. great melodies/mood. Rifts is a must have album.

Wicked stuff!

Been loving this guy's sound! Funny that this topic got bumped recently as I have been working on a mix inspired by the resurgence of this warped new age sound. Some BOC, Oneohtrix, and other gorgeous synth laden stuff.

Tracklist

hm, lion sound = new age.

there is a shitload of music that sounds identical to this

though oneohtrix definitely has some great standout tracks. also the sunsetcorp videos are beautiful.
