new Oneohtrix Point Never - "Sleep Dealer"

The first we've heard from Oneohtrix Point Never's new album.  A battery-powered device bleeping out its last moments of juice. Audible bits from the cassette deck, VHS and public access program, all begging you back from your slumber. Wired beyond belief, you may never come back.

"From the Replica LP on Software Recording Co. / Mexican Summer (SFT010). Available November 8th, 2011."

MP3: Oneohtrix Point Never - Sleep Dealer

Harald Grosskopf - Synthesist

I heard Harald Grosskopf's "Synthesist" while catching up on the always-amazing 20jazzfunkgreats.  I was instantaneously awestruck by its elegant and simple beauty, each oscillation of sound unfurling itself and stretching ever upwards towards the heavens.  When I came to learn that "Synthesist" is the title track to Grosskopf's 1980 album, I was saddened I hadn't been listening all along.  Thankfully, RVNG Intl. is putting the finishing touches on what promises to be a beatifully arranged reissue, due February 15.  A bonus disc features reinterpretations from personal favorites Blondes, CFCF and Oneohtrix Point Never.  Listen to "Synthesist" below; find more info, music samples and pre-order here.
