Oneohtrix Point Never – R Plus Seven

★★★★☆ = Quality release and suggested listening

What’s it sound like?

Avant garde electro

Thoughts

OPN has highly effective moments that will always keep me curious about his work. R plus seven is a great piece of work but it gets a little tiring at times (maddening loops, lots of nothing). Fans will recognize these as signatures of his compositions which help to build toward these bigger moments.

The Sonic profile of his music serves to create the apt description of “Facebook servers making music”.

Klein – Tommy EP

⭐⭐⭐

Avant garde sound collage electro, I view this more as a document of new directions in electronic music than a proper album. In that regard it’s very good as it explores the possibilities of textures and sounds that feature heavy vocal manipulation, a technique / style I’m always eager to hear more from.

I need to take a closer look at hyper dub. I haven’t kept up with their output and I feel I may have missed some classics.
