Don't mind me just being the best electronic music album of the decade across all subgenres

Whole point of this thread is to be vague about electronic, /bleep/heads know the genres. I'm an acidhouse/breakbeat/digital hardcore fiend with some IDM thrown in

>calling yourself a /bleep/head and differentiating between six versions of the same stupid bullshit
God damn and people say metal fans are autistic and participate in the narcissism of small differences

You've not heard one of these genres if you're saying this

what the fuck am I supposed to be listening to?
this is all just pretentious sound clip repeatings
i feel like i'm being judged by the album itself what the fuck

Don't forget about this though

Why do people have so much trouble getting into this album? I don't think is that experimental. Is pretty eash to enjoy it.

Not even his best album

there is no getting into this album
it is just copy pasted sound clips
I could make this in Audacity

this is the only good current electronic.

anything else sucks.

Yeah, I am sure you could produce an album which was produced with professionals in a studio and also uses a variety of expensive synths.

this album is really creative and i do enjoy it a lot but after it was brought to my attention how random a lot of the progressions are it made me kind of wonder like why I found it so particularly interesting, there is seemingly no coherence from part to part or even like bar to bar on some tracks on here. very curious to hear other peoples thoughts on why this does or doesnt work

youtu.be/AvEm3a20Yc4 if you cant get into this idk what to tell you

That was certainly one of the better tracks but why did you need to post the link instead of just telling me the song? I've already listened to the album

I dont see coherence being a necessary component of a "good" album. If the end result a listenable product, why question the non-standard structure of what it is? OPN switches between dramatically different bars of sounds on a majority of the album, but I think he has such a good ear for melody and sound design that it works.

Lol what an absolute brainlet

how can Yea Forums claim it's not pretentious them praise an absolutely shitty album like this one

how does Yea Forums claim it's not pretentious? does any music forum claim to not be pretentious?

I mean coherence within individual songs themselves, not the album (noncoherence can kind of be a coherent theme for an album itself) Certain songs I don't even think it would be correct to call it "non-standard structure," they're like the complete absence of structure. He jams a lot of his songs and has said described before that since most of his songs are intuitively arranged he sees it as like the suggestion of structure without structure itself. opn is based as fuck I love his perspective on art and music and everything, just curious if others had another perspective on it or just find it to be weak composition

there are three kinds of music listeners: those who like ambient, those who don't and trannies
and you're not going to make someone change their kind

what is the album pretending? theres a pretty organic lifelike quality to a lot of tracks on replica for being chopped up tv commercials

if youre coming at this music from the perspective of like looking for the sweetest melodies or earworm, that feeling you get where you wanna play something over and over again, youre gonna be confused by it. This stuff is more about the interesting way it makes you feel, try going into it with less judgment and really listening for individual layers

also lol >it is just copy pasted sound clips
>what is music
reductionist arguments like this are really stupid and can be applied to make everything sound trivial

It's not reductionist, that is quite literally what it is. You can listen to it and see "ah yes, he has copied that part, and put it right after the sound clip ends, and so on 20 times."
I'll try giving it another listen I suppose.

actually good and accurate copypasta

I get what you mean by the complete absence of structure, but I don't think that applies to this album. It's still got the building blocks, its still based on rhythms and bars. Some of the songs are setup like a string of phrases/different themes lined up one after another. But if thats the content that becomes the structure, regardless of how carefully they were placed.
For something to be completely structureless the notes would have to completely unrelated to each other, like a field recording or ambient pieces made by something kind of random like tape decay.

a human being is quite literally a sack of chemicals and muscles etc, you can look at one and see that, but youd probably find it kind of weird to live your life thinking about it that way. replica is a series of compositions, which yes themselves are made up of individual sounds, but the work is a whole. that perspective is reductionist, youre reducing a whole down to its individual parts and then acting like they have no significance together. really bad take man

I'm sort of getting what you mean now, some of the parts are starting to click

Based retard

cool man, I listened to this stuff when it came out and i was like only 17 and it definitely didnt resonate with me the way it does now, I understand how it can be weird to hear all this fanfare about something and then go into it and be like completely unrewarded and like somehow feel inferior for not "getting it", but after taking more years of time listening to music and getting more and more into making my own you start to see that like everyone has a different idea about what is good music and the more you listen to the more ideas you pick up on and start to find interesting. this post is just rambling now but all music and art can really provide for you are feelings, so thats what I think you should go off of to assess someones work. then figuring out what they did to make you feel that way, the techniques and stuff, that shit is so interesting to me

also this is definitely one of the harder albums of his to get into id say, hes had a cool progression from making ambient to sound collage type stuff like replica to warped pop on his newer albums, i think this album really clicks when you like understand more where his head is at. hes never really made another album like this

I just listened to this carefully the other night. I really think the unusual structure adds to the album. I have listened to it multiple times and there were reallry good sections of songs I didn't remembered. For me this album feels like a journey through a really weird synthetic virtual world from a 70s sci fi film or something. Also I think there's songs which focus more on sound desing than on estructure, for example inside world, one of my favourite tracks, creates like this unique sound that like appears to sound randomly, but I think this is made for you to focus more on that sound and the texture, than in the structure of the song. Also I think this album is really inspiring, it shows that you can do much with old synths and midi instruments.

yeah true stuff like Inside World definitely has an overall progression made up of unique sounds even though the sounds manage to sound so disconnected from one another. listening to Inside World right now I love how the dissonant unnerving feeling of those chopped up voices gives way to this like these serene strings and drones, feels like coming out of the woods into a big field. and then very abruptly back into uncertainty with the voices

yeah I always find like another chunk of a song that hits me distinctly when I know ive listened to it multiple times before already. r+7 has a really special inspiring quality to it i totally get what you mean, i have a really hard time describing the feeling this album gives me, i feel like im prob missing out on this whole meaningful part of the album beyond the songs themselves, he'll never come out and say what R+7 means obv. fuck
