“And Grammy for the Biggest Hack Producer of the 2010s goes to ... you’ve guessed it, Daniel Lopatin aka Oneohtrix Point Never! You might remember him as the ‘genius’ who famously slowed down some old 80s records and used General MIDI patches in his music!”

It is hard to believe that Age Of (Warp, 2018) was made by Lopatin. It begins in neoclassical mode with the slightly-dissonant harpsichord carillon of Age Of. But then it introduces Lopatin the singer-songwriter: Babylon mimics the magniloquent angst of Roger Waters, and The Station is a falsetto neo-soul ballad. The slow melancholy litany Black Snow, wrapped in glitches and distortion, and the romantic Same, drowned in distortions, reenact stereotypes of pop muzak in an avantgarde setting. Meanwhile, Toys 2 is as good as melodramatic instrumental pop gets, the surreal exotic vignette RayCats mocks ethnic movie soundtracks, and Warning is a brutal version of Steve Reich's vocal minimalism (Drumming). These are the most straighforward, linear, cohesive compositions of his career. The cacophonic collaboration with James Blake, We'll Take It, sounds totally out of context. It could be his best album yet.

How many cocks did this hack have to suck to get his bland, soulless music so popular?
Hunter Kelly

The purpose of retromania in music has been around for a while mate, you're just hearing it now
Adam Williams

Carson Butler
both of his parents are in the industry
David Martinez

Nathaniel Hill
Im glad this board finally recognizes Lopatin's music is garbage
Gabriel Nguyen
Yea Forums is a hivemind, right?

Let me guess, you think flying lotus, arca, iglooghost, kamashi Washington and pc music is avant garde right?
Easton Wilson
I cannot stand every artist you just named apart from maybe arca (and even then only because of his Bjork shit)
Lopatin's work up until Garden of Delete was fantastic

god modern electronic music is depressingly terrible. You don't really think about it until you see them all together like that.

He' s been going downhill since Replica. He was onto something genuinely interesting and unique on that record and then decided to go full digital textures and glitchiness on R Plus Seven, wich is still kind of good even of lose some of the character and the "free-flowing" qualities of his previous music.
Then he got closer to song form and that "Omnisphere Preset" sound with Garden of Delete and even more with Age of, wich is basically a full pop record with some instrumental interludes.
He basically replaced everything that was good in his music with trendy gimmicks. But then, his early records were a Emeralds ripoff, Returnal got his more interesting ideas from the stuff he did with Astronaut, and Replica shouldn't be credited as a OPN solo album because is basically an edited jam session between Lopatin, Ford and some other guy, so maybe he wasn't that good to begin with. Probably the best stuff he has made are the two Dania Shapes records

You are a retard
Brandon Hernandez
yeah when that narrow spoonfed contingent of surface level electronic musicians is your entire concept of what modern electronic music is - it would be pretty terrible wouldn't it you turboretard
