Interesting, looks like the guy Lopatin collaborated with for the video was Jon Rafman - literally just went to a exhibition over in Berlin last week with a piece by Rafman. It was three television screens showing all kinds of "garbage" Internet videos on the screens, stuff like archive footage, viral videos, fetish pornography (vore, guro, furry, quicksand came up a lot), and a tangled mess of headphones on the floor. I forget what audio the others had, but one had an R+7 track playing. Pretty cool actually, probably the only peice that resonated with me, ties in with the "reconstruction"/collage of digital information theme Lopatin plays a lot with.

Stoked to watch OA II. The movement thing never bothered me, anyone familiar with Druidic studies will recognize the importance of movement to get to higher planes.

 

Maybe it was the Still Life track ? Jon Rafman did the music video for that one (NSFW). Your description of the exposition sounds quite similar to the footage/pictures this video is made of.

 

EDIT : looks like it's been deleted from the Youtubes !

Yes! That's the one. I think that "Mainsqueeze" video was on of the feeds as well.

I hope that booklet will also be included within the vinyl edition because it looks lovely :wub:

 

I think that booklet is actually from the vinyl edition, and even if it isn't it's been confirmed that the vinyl edition comes with a booklet. No missing artwork for the vinyl people

 

More pics here btw: https://bleep.com/release/63655-oneohtrix-point-never-garden-of-delete

Thanks ! The pictures look lovely.

I'm kinda tempted to get my copy from blerp to get the yellow "opn" sticker as well !

 

Also from the Bleep photos we have a vinyl tracklisting :

 

Side A : Intro / Ezra / ECCOJAMC1 / Sticky Drama

Side B : SDLK / Mutant Standard

Side C : Child of Rage / Animals / I Bite Through It

Side D : Freaky Eyes / Lift / No Good

 

(side B is already a favorite :music: )

I listened to some of this stuff and I' don't see what sets it apart from the average Joe Everyman soundcloud track apart from the Warp marketing hype machine. The tunes & videos just seem like more of the same vapid millenial nostalgia wank that's been trendy for the last decade and aren't particularly interesting from a composition/aesthetics/sound design perspective.

I was starting to think I was the only person that didn't like OPN!

 

Still not heard this new album though. Will give it a shot soon.

I agree in the marketing part, I think that for this album it became really stupid and "uh su randum" shit, while R+7 was less but better.

Disagree... Loptain has been consistent with the themes here, the Sticky Drama video isn't perfect, but it picks up from the cryptic 'story' that was set up with the Ezra livejournal posts, the interviews, the PDF document about Ezra, etc...

I'm not going to write an academic post about how the Nickelodeon-style music video connects with the theme of awkward adolescence, but I have been enjoying the lightheartedness and the little easter egg hunts in the promo around this album, and I think OPN has a stronger concept than he did with R+7. I just find it more enjoyable and accessible than what... post-post-modern furniture music in a virtual environment, or whatever that was?

Got around to hearing the preview tracks on blerp.

 

This actually sounds good. Does it keep the energy of Mutant Standard throughout most of the album?
