I’m happy I’m alive. I’m sitting in the car in the rain driving down the road listening to this for the first time. This is a moment I will remember. I found Oneohtrix two years ago and it changed my direction in music. And I’m never disappointed. Thank you for giving me great memories.

[@sinpetit]

had similar experience 10 years ago after first listening of "R Plus Seven", kinda felt that moment already became like a bookmark when it comes to fully experiencing by the act of listening, since then every album has driven me to yet unimaginable sonic coordinates by that moment, oftenly coming to mind Stanley Kubrick's quote "If it can be written, or thought, it can be filmed". Every new record hits like stepping the moon for the first time....Again.

I’ve been listening since Magic OPN. I liked this guy’s music both solo, and his work with The Weeknd.

[@sirhambone]

Just introduced, any recommendations?

[@ivancio001]

@@sirhambone I’d recommend starting from R Plus 7 and then go either forward if you want more pop-leaning/higher production value stuff or backwards if you’re more into the ambient/low key moody stuff. But any OPN is worth checking out they’re all very different from each other. Have fun exploring his discography!

[@lucaslugarinho6634]

[@Zarnubius]

@@sirhambone you almost have to listen to his music chronologically to fully appreciate it or "get" it but R Plus 7 is a great place to start, then re-listen to Garden of Delete until it "clicks" then you're ready for the rest. For songs that stand on their own, Music for Steamed Rocks, Boring Angel, Chrome Country and Child of Rage are all highlights, but most of his stuff works best as a full album listen, each one is a little journey into a very specific place. And if you end up liking all of that James Ferraro's early stuff and Steve Reich can help fill the hole that will now exist in your heart from not having anything that comes close to fulfilling that musical realm.

[@Cowboy_Meat]

God, this album captures the malaise of 21st century life. Staring down climate, resource depletion, old grudges arising, technology seeming more like a demonic panopticon than easing life. Thank you for everything, Daniel.

When you're familiar with ONPs discography, this album feels so very much like going down memory lane... I wonder how I would feel about it if this was my first contact with his work, but that not being the case, I'm just in awe about the way Again is repackaging the past into something that in total sounds entirely different again.

[@RyanReenBattikh]

I sent my GF "A Barley Lit Path" when it dropped because I had been talking to her about his music a bit, I think I maybe showed her a song off of Age Of or R Plus Seven but she's not an OPN nerd like us- but I'd been talking with her for a few months and sending songs before the album rollout even started. When I sent "A Barley Lit Path" she said it was one of her favorite songs I'd sent her, and I replied "I'ts one of the best ones I've ever heard in general". We actually listened to the record together when I got the vinyl, I told her I loved her for the first time while we were listening to "Krumville". I will never forget this album it already holds a deep spot in my heart.

[@joseph-zoramcbride4029]

I'm not super familiar with the whole of his discography, but I discovered zones Without People while looking for books by Cioran. I really enjoyed that one, then a friend recently showed me some of his newer work, which struck me as much more, melodic, even though it keeps many of the noise elements. This album also does a wonderful job of blending both aspects of his work - noise and samples combined with a diverse array of more melodic influences. Man those synths and guitars in parallel! Also I'm just looking at his discography on bandcamp now and seeing that before Zones he had two albums that borrowed Cioran book titles. Safe to say he's a fan! :)

[@jerbusf]

i am not sure it's always beneficial to look at a series of releases as some necessarily linear progression. our brains don't often work that way, either; you incorporate new tools and influences over time but how can you ever really make something "new"? our entire existence can be summed up as a persistent "repackaging [of the] past". what we hear is a process, packaged up, and that package will *always* contain the past.

[@RyanReenBattikh]

@@joseph-zoramcbride4029 That's crazy you had the inverse experience lol, I discovered Emil Cioran because of OPN. But the philosophical context of his albums is always fascinating. Zones Without People is such a wonderful album too, that first song Computer Vision is actually still up on his old KZbin channel SunsetCorp. The echoes of synthetically encapsulated memories is a textual backbone of all of his work, the music is almost inseparable from the heady idea space you experience while listening and reflecting on it. The most philosophically vexing of his songs is Black Snow in my opinion. Unraveling the dark underground cyber gothic inspirations of that songs lyrics is an exercise in internet archaeology. Diving into the repulsive conspiratorial and hate filled occultism of the writings the song's lyrics are an allusion to is a media experience I'll never forget.

Might be my favourite release since R Plus Seven. I noticed I'm not the first one to say that - maybe it really appeals in general to people who have a kind of of special feeling for R Plus Seven. I really liked Magic OPN too, but my biggest dislike was that a lot of tracks there were just weirdly short and felt a bit underdeveloped as such to me. This is not the case here - here everything moves at pace that is more to my liking and it feels complete. Really nice album, very inspiring! I'm looking forward to whatever new sonic territories OPN is going to take us in the future!

[@neygrant6329]

Idk how true this is for other opn fans but if other music has begun to feel claustrophobic after finding opn, digging through classical music is probably a logical next step. From Steve Reich to the other minimalists, Terry Riley and Philip glass etc. will scratch that itch for opn's beautiful angular elements. And from there back even into the older "greats." Schoenbergs more melodic stuff will scratch that itch for opn's uncanny balance of brokenness and absolute harmony for instance. And behind it all, choral music ancient and modern actually attains the same 3 dimensional dynamism that opn is unsurpassed for in pop music. John tavener, arvo part, part uusberg, and before these modern guys the whole rich canon of Catholic and Orthodox choral music. Hearing the first song on this album was such a thrill - set up such a high expectation. Seemed to gesture that he is actively thinking of his music in classical terms, a perfect next step for an artist not only talented enough to do this in pop music, but always interested in this temporal pun stuff where nostalgia and futurism collide. And go figure, man does the album live up to this gesture! I'm so grateful for opn showing the way, he'll be referenced for a century or more I think. A genuine meeting point of classic and pop music right when classical is dying under patronage structures that incentivize either repetitions of 19th century aesthetics or hyper cloistered grad school in-group stuff. Pop music carries the spirit of music today, in all its iterations, and it deserves to be pushed this far by people like opn! ❤
