I haven't heard Rifts Returnal but I love Returnal Rifts because it feels concise, for an ambient/drone/whatever record. It feels composed from beginning to end with proper ebbs and flows.

lmfao @ the games ep title, 'that we can play'

i like the games/cfcf ep. some of the best stuff cfcf has done, tho i feel like it could alienate some oneohtrix fans
― a lagoon par la mer (psychgawsple), Sunday, 14 November 2010 08:24 (thirteen years ago) link
i guess the cfcf stuff is remixed here, so it doesn't count as their work 'officially', but it's still great. esp the gatekeeper remix
― a lagoon par la mer (psychgawsple), Sunday, 14 November 2010 08:29 (thirteen years ago) link
is the E.P. on Rvng a CFCF / Oneohtrix Point Never collab? I've seen listed as just CFCF?

the Games - That We Can Play thing is streaming here; http://www.factmag.com/2010/11/01/stream-the-debut-album-from-games-that-we-can-play/might be a bit too much for me, will give a few listens before I decide.
― mmmm, Sunday, 14 November 2010 09:07 (thirteen years ago) link
its a grower but quite different from the first ep.
By moving to a more song based structure, it's less individual than the earlier stuff.

the games remix of "it was never meant to be this way" is on both the cfcf ep on rvng (along with other remixes) and the games ep

new games-that everyone can play is ace as well, i need to do some edits so i can play it out (my mixing really doesnt allow for 3 min tunes)
― straightola, Thursday, 25 November 2010 14:21 (thirteen years ago) link
Also Id see this as more of an edits/italo/straight up pop kind of thing than chillwave
― straightola, Thursday, 25 November 2010 14:23 (thirteen years ago) link
OPN is cool but I prefer Games. Awesome tmblr.

It's all good, but that title track is just flat out amazing.

Odd how you notice the lyrics in the album version of "Returnal" after hearing the Antony remix - is that Antony in the original?
― with hidden noise, Friday, 3 December 2010 16:55 (thirteen years ago) link
despite the opening track which i can't really deal with Returnal is def top 5 of the year material (that said i don't keep up with much current ambient stuff)
― modrić in paradise (blueski), Monday, 13 December 2010 15:25 (thirteen years ago) link
I'm still waiting for OOTPN to click properly with me. He sounds like a really nice guy with a great approach to his work, but I still find Games infinitely more appealing for some reason.

I wrote about that opening track, and why I think it works, here.
― scott pgwp (pgwp), Monday, 13 December 2010 22:00 (thirteen years ago) link
the following seven tracks exist in its wake and are enhanced by that context.
this is otm. love this record now.
― ogmor, Tuesday, 14 December 2010 00:01 (thirteen years ago) link
tho i dont like the opener that much, it has big tactical value.

agree with that 100%

so I thought I had listened to this album in full and didn't really like it
but now I have discovered that I actually just listened to the first track on repeat 6 times and didn't realize it

― What are you doing here? (dog latin), Tuesday, 14 December 2010 14:48 (thirteen years ago) link
I mean, this album is actually kind of nice. not as 'difficult' as I thought it was. not the 'successor' to 'merzbow' I had 'imagined'.
― dayo, Tuesday, 14 December 2010 14:55 (thirteen years ago) link
There was a kid on the TEFOSAV forum back in the early 00's who used to call himself Nuclear Heaven and who made a sound very similar to this under different monikers. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the same guy as the approach and aesthetic is so similar. I think I might even have some of his old albums.

"harsh" track is kinda pretty tbh. one of the standouts for me, tho I still don't love the album.

Planet Party is one of my jams of 2010. Someone posted it to a thread before I'd even heard of Oneohtrix and somethign about the video imagery and I was completely suckered into the music and video, so much so that I had to check it really was something from 2010 and not 1985. I know this hauntology/retro thing's been being done since the late 90s, but this was done so well, I was transported back to watching TV adverts on my Dad's old portable telly.
