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.

really loving the Games EP (reminds me a lot of stuff on the Valerie label, esp. Anoraak)

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.

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.

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

that new games video is soo bad

i haven't heard anything by Games as compelling as his OPN stuff

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.
