"As far as we know, this file, or more specifically this audio codec is no longer supported by RealPlayer. After endlessly searching RealPlayer support forums for about forty-five minutes, we realized just how elusive this audio codec is."

 

"After downloading the “Joyvtl Jvbuayf” file from Oneohtrix Point Never’s website, we installed the latest version of RealPlayer, which is so antiquated that it actually offers 28.8K as an available connection speed for configuration.

 

After installing RealPlayer, we tried opening the file only to realize that it requires “RA 3.0″ an audio codec that is no longer supported by the player."

 

 

I think that Boards of Canada code business earlier this year scrambled a few brains... that, or some people have never heard of VLC

"After endlessly searching RealPlayer support forums for about forty-five minutes, we realized just how elusive this audio codec is."

 

Yeah it was real tough: I downloaded the .ra and double clicked on it, Media Player Classic loaded and played the file.

mcbpete with the mad haxxor skills

 

Sounds like a Fennesz remix of Chrome Country, lol.

Yeah, MPC got this. Actually quite surprised more artists have yet to take the piss like so, what with the rampant hard-format fetishism across various indie scenes these days... boc vinyl reissues anyone?

 

Anyway, loving the bit-crushed lo-fi digital lushness!

My reaction to the new www.pointnever.com design:

 

website from the exorcist.

 

I haven't seen that one since the nineties!

I opened that Joytvl thing with Audacity and the file was corrupted lol

 

 

 

I have some interesting insight as to the sequencing of the album if anybody wants to PM me.

 

Also: anybody going to the Brooklyn gig next week?

Holy fucking shit, I was only briefly an IT helpdesk (at a Law School Library) and that conversation occurred. In my situation she said "well, this one [i.e. obvious malware] isn't too bad if I just move it over here"

So insightful that you can't just post it in this thread?

I'm just being cautious and careful. And no I won't because this is a public forum and some things aren't for public consumption.

 

ANYWAY. I've had the LP since June and it is only now starting to open itself to me. Maybe my pick of the year.

 

Apparently there are very well hidden/manipulated samples from one very popular R+B singer in there, as well.

Wow, "pick of the year" is a pretty strong claim, given how great this year has been. I'm looking forward to this even more.

I've started to think that this album is so fucking good that it could end up being a turning point album like Never Mind The Bollocks, Smells Like Teen Spirit, Enter The 36 Chambers i.e. where everything is different afterwards.

 

I sometimes wonder if an album nowadays will ever be able to impact modern culture as much as some of those have in the past.

 

It's a total compliment you think OPN could somehow achieve this, but dude...this album is not going to have much of an impact outside of the electronic music world

I've lost interest in it. I do think it is a really good album (mainly because of weirdness), and having in mind the rising popularity of Mr. Lopatin, it might be get a cult following, but, for me, really nothing "emotional", or I might need to listen to it again. Fuck me.

I feel like it demands total attention. But not in the way Ae does. Like, it demands total attention for you to LOSE attention. It really started to open up for me when I took a three hour train ride and all I had to do was stare out the window.

Still haven't heard it but yeah, going off all of OPN's previous output I'd say dude's sound is a lil too avant garde to capture the hearts of the masses. I could definitely see him making an album with the impact of, say, SAW85-92 or Music for Airports (and to my ears he's already put out some albums that deserve it), but Wu-Tang/Nirvana popularity? Leanin towards nah

 

Then again, I think my generation has almost reached a point culturally where an album of instrumental ambient textures & abstract sample mangling could have mass appeal. Maybe it'll be OPN who does it. Maybe it'll be someone else. Maybe it'll be an anonymous product of the cloud. Maybe it'll be YOU

You can't underestimate the reach of "electronic music" these days. But I don't think the mechanisms that allow for such movements as Nirvana/Sex Pistols/etc can happen anymore. Welcome to the digital flattening of everything, and I'm not saying that critically.

Problem Areas and Zebra grew up a lot on me later these days, first I was like "wtf is this shit" but now I'm really, really looking forward to this album. Nothing grew up on me like these tracks did for a long period of time.

man. fuck labels/artists releasing songs slowly over time long period of time in preparation/hype to an album.

this work is meant to be heard and understood as a whole.

I think OPN is one of those guys where I'll trust him and take the plunge no matter what he does, even if I don't quite understand what's going on. Does that makes sense?

It does. I feel the same way.

that track (zebra)really strikes me as having this impatient, meandering quality that confuses me. whie i don't necessarily mind any one part of it i do feel like it comes off as a kind of collage of fragments that seem like they just barely make sense together. in this way i feel like his music suffers from a really common problem with new electronic music, ie, the composition just doesn't feel very strong. it reminds me of bee mask who has these long tracks of neat sounds that seem just kind of strewn together which really doesn't hold up to multiple listenings.

 

further, i feel like this track sounds really dated but not in some cool nostalgic way, just more like it was made on a computer in 2000 or something.

 

i'm interested in checking out the album when it comes out but so far i'm not particularly impressed. some cool sounds, the production sounds really excellent, i'm intrigued by his exploration of the 80s vibes, but something just doesn't click with me, like in the end i just don't feel it has any gravitas at all.

<p>yeah, this is the first album by him that sounded way more interesting than in the snippets vs the full songs. I remember when i heard the clips of Replica i wasn't into them, until i heard how the entire compositions flowed and was well impressed by how effective it all was. This almost feels the opposite, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but the composition is a lot more fragmented and stop-starty compared to his other work.  All in all it's a surprisingly challenging album for me</p>
