Review flying Lotus, cosmogramma

[@cheetospeedo684]

This album makes heavy use of plunderphonics, a technique of basically making a song out of samples. The whole album is full of samples from 80’s commercials, some which have only been recently discovered and some that are yet to be. Crazy stuff from OPN

[@k1d666]

great album, give R Plus Seven a chance as well (my favorite OPN album).

[@thomasispissed2686]

This is my favorite OPN album, with that being said, another great ambient album is Promises by floating points and Pharoa Sanders

[@desperatelycravingahamsandwich]

Day 28 of requesting promises by floating points and pharoah sanders. my phone was taken away from me for a week because i snuck out at night. if you like replica you’ll love promises.

This album is disassociation and I like how it has hip hop mixtape feel. a lot music is like this now. You should check out Laurel Halo, Actress, Andy Stott, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and a lot music from the UK experimental scene. It definitely shares the eccentricities of Dean Blunt project or hypnagogic pop and vaporwave

[@meatgrinder9506]

Wheres Autechre at smags? i demand answers!

[@vegdagol2843]

David Bowie’s LOW. co-written with Brian Eno is a classic album, that i am now pretty sure you would enjoy. Perhaps mostly for the ambient, electronic B-side

1000% this could have been the second Blade Runner soundtrack

MODERN VAMPIRES OF THE CITY

[@wretchedcorp]

Let's go!!! This what I've been waiting for! Thank you!

[@bennydreamer]

LETS GOOOO. ok, so this album is a concept album comprised of tons of samples from old commercials and jingles, using a loose sci-fi narrative imagining a future civilization trying to reconstruct what music in the past must’ve been like upon finding our sonic remains but getting it wrong, kind of like archaeologists finding dinosaur bones but putting them together incorrectly. As you can imagine, this idea was hugely influential to the world of vaporwave and the conceptual framework that a lot of those early vaporwave artists were riffing off of (other foundational albums for vaporwave are chuck person’s ECCOJAMS, a side project of OPN’s, and James Ferraro’s Far Side Virtual)

You are a legend for doing this record, some fantastic choices on this channel and the rate you put out videos is sick. This album is a masterpiece, Sleep Dealer is my favourite, the whole album is so melancholic but this song has something about it and the samples have such a sadness like the passing of time and generation loss.

[@SnailPhone]

This was a dope one to get your thoughts on! Not an electronic rec, but if you love ambient music you should definitely check out Flood by Boris. It’s like the chill version of Feedbacker. A very beautiful and meditative guitar driven ambient post-rock album that I think you’d really fuck with.

[@PJ-se6ue]

The variety in your reactions is crazy

[@sarahwills4975]

u definitely gotta do more OPN work in the future. R Plus Seven, Garden of Delete, and Again go further and further into the abstract

[@alexfowler1490]

Huge album for me. Sleep Dealer totally changed my perception on what music can be. Amazing stuff!

[@FtungusAmungus]

Good words said here, Smags. Fascinating artist, it's great to hear someone getting into it.

[@hivedrops8326]

picks have been fire lately. would love to see a Bar Italia reaction think you'd love it

[@ClumsyKobold]

If you like ambient music I'd recommend Stars of The Lid - And Their Refinement of The Decline, it's imo the most beautiful ambient record ever made and easily on my top ten records. Gorgeous and melancholy.
