Please cover James Ferraro’s work. He’s very prolific and his music is quite influential in the underground music scene, especially vaporwave and hypnagogic pop. Also, Dean Blunt would be an interesting artist to cover.
can't blame him for not because how could one even begin to sufficiently cover james discography without turning it into a series of like at least five episodes of an hour each
it is worth noting that rifts not only takes from the three albums but a handful of other eps he released, such as fall into time and drawn and quartered, and didn’t feature every piece but rather a curated selection of cuts from each project, resulting in (to many id imagine) a more holistic sampler of his spacey synth aesthetic at the time, as well as perhaps a more consistent grade of quality, even if the mood and theme varied somewhat between each record pulled from.
"Angel and Nobody Here actually appear on this album as well, though they're pitched slightly lower." and that's because I still don't think the cassette rip everyone knows of this album is at the correct speed. I think the rip you can find off Vapor Memory's RUclips channel is much more accurate to them and the whole album in general.
Good point, I’ve seen it uploaded at so many different speeds and ur prob right ab the vapor memory upload being the closest to the original, I’ve j heard the 55 minute version thrown around the most and have listened to it more than any of the others (and personally prefer most of the tracks in that speed with maybe a few exceptions like B6) but I appreciate u pointing that out
I can't really vibe to most of OPNs music except for the sunsetcorp stuff, but damn, you make really good video essays. This channel deserves at least 20× the subscribers it has right now 👍👍👍
rifts and eccojam are some of the most captivating ambient projects in a while.. hell when i look at acts people compare to 0PN (huerco S, Terry Riley, William Basinski, gas) i just don't feel the same hypnotic and emotional power that daniel can put into his songs though my favorite is probably garden of delete for being this glitchy euphoric mix of adolescent rage, feeling almost like it was made by the radical adolescent who 0PN claimed to be doing an interview
Looking back on this, I’m surprised you didn’t mention Channel Pressure. It’s another Joel Ford collab that feels like a more sizable version of the Games EP. Really good stuff.
He first came to my radar when he signed to Warp and released R+7 (ten years ago last week or so … good grief, we’re all getting old). It would be several more years until I would hear the vapour and adjacent scenes, but looking back it did start with this album for me. Because of this and more, I consider Daniel Lopatin to be my moniker’s godfather (キラヨシ) Thank you for shouting out the second half of A3.
Amazing video! I also want to give you props for using parts from Dam Son's video who made a visual version of eccojams that skips with the music. That dude did such an amazing job capturing the essence of eccojams and expressing them visually alongside the music. Especially using the old anime VIdeo Girl Ai for the JoJo track (which i agree 100% is the best on the whole album). The other one I really like is the last track on the A side, the sample from Woman in Chains. Great shit.
I've talked to him, and exchanged a gentleman's handshake back during the Garden of Delete touring days at EMPAC in 2015. Was a wild show, and he's a chill dude. I'd love to see something on the Ford x Lopatin collab Channel Pressure one day
I see a lot of folks in the comments speaking on the fact opns music is difficult to consume. I agree. But listen a few times, if you care to, and it hits hard. Not trying to convince anyone to like it, but for me it left a major impact in terms of how I think of music. I think of it as sample jazz almost. Sounds stupid lol but it goes hard when you let go of the context of the original sample. To be an annoying art nerd, I think he’s doing the Marcel Duchamp of our generation. Try out replica or R plus 7. They are weird as shit but I love it. Thanks for the review and video!
I got into Lopatin during the Games that we can play era. That EP was mesmerizing , and I soon purchased a Roland Juno and got heavily into synth music. I think OPN is his most important project musically , but it’s crazy that he basically invented an entire genre of music with a side project - Chuck Person and Vaporwave.
Pretty good sparknotes on this guy, first heard of him by seeing the Still Life music video (super nsfw/nsfl) and now listened to his Again LP, and saw him live in DC this year. What do you think that release?
Did I see it right when in the video when you included the cover of Cosmogramma when talking about stuff he worked on? I cant find credits of him from that album.
Describing Africa by Toto as "bubblegum" is a really weird take. I always felt like it had an air of navel gazing faux intellectualism that made it an absolute dirge of a song to listen to.
Uncut Gems had the worst movie score I've heard in my life. The actors had to yell over it to be heard during the movie. Daniel Lopatin needs to never score music for a movie again. My ears felt assaulted by that awful random garbage.
We need a guide to Tim Hecker's music! 🤓
PLEASE
please!
YES PLS
had NO IDEA that this guy created Replica, scored Uncut Gems and CREATED VAPORWAVE alongside all this other amazing shit. amazing video

YESSSSS ONG
can't blame him for not because how could one even begin to sufficiently cover james discography without turning it into a series of like at least five episodes of an hour each
duuuude what id do for that series
ferraro vid is out!
Oneohtrix Point Never is so good I own a bulk of his discog. I even have the 2012 reissue of Rifts, which (in my opinion) is one of his best works
it is worth noting that rifts not only takes from the three albums but a handful of other eps he released, such as fall into time and drawn and quartered, and didn’t feature every piece but rather a curated selection of cuts from each project, resulting in (to many id imagine) a more holistic sampler of his spacey synth aesthetic at the time, as well as perhaps a more consistent grade of quality, even if the mood and theme varied somewhat between each record pulled from.
you covered the other eps the main point was what i said later
"Angel and Nobody Here actually appear on this album as well, though they're pitched slightly lower."

Yeah I was waiting for something to happen
rifts and eccojam are some of the most captivating ambient projects in a while.. hell when i look at acts people compare to 0PN (huerco S, Terry Riley, William Basinski, gas) i just don't feel the same hypnotic and emotional power that daniel can put into his songs
though my favorite is probably garden of delete for being this glitchy euphoric mix of adolescent rage, feeling almost like it was made by the radical adolescent who 0PN claimed to be doing an interview
Garden of delete is a masterpiece!!
GOD is the greatest experimental electronic album of all time imo. Not even joking.
William basinski is gas though
Have always had a hard time getting into opns music but this video cracked the code awesome video ❤️
awesome vid except no mention of FORD AND LOPATIN the 2nd half of games and one of the top pop albums
im very happy you covered the heaven can wait mixtapes! my favorite opn projects along with mem vague and uncut gems ost. nice video
YAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYAU ONE OF MY FAV ARTISTS EVER SO HAPPY U MADE THIS
I haven’t listened to much from him, but replica has recently become one of my favs. Can’t wait to hear more
id love a video like this (and the lum one) on deaths dynamic shroud or jpegmafia
Opn has been one of my favorite artists for over a decade and i have never known about those Games mixtapes until now. Thank you.
the fucking babytron jumpscare at the end
10th album "Again" otw! very nice retrospective in here
Looking back on this, I’m surprised you didn’t mention Channel Pressure. It’s another Joel Ford collab that feels like a more sizable version of the Games EP. Really good stuff.
never thought of the parallels between Gas and Eccojams. thanks for the video
Can't wait to hear ur own original music man 🖤
Damn you sound excited as hell
Cuz I am :)

0:55 This is what plays in my brain anytime I try to to focus on anything.
one of the best channels on RUclips right here

Thank you for shouting out the second half of A3.
Some high quality work here,thank you dude.
A fantastic video, as always. Love your channel!
Heaven can wait is legit one of my favorite mixtapes
I've been waiting for this video. Cheers.
Got my subscription pretty quick here. Great work
man you are my favorite youtuber of all time
Incroyable résumé de discographie.
I have no idea what is going on butI'm glad I accidentally clicked this video.
Amazing video! I also want to give you props for using parts from Dam Son's video who made a visual version of eccojams that skips with the music.

These "Incompetent Guide" videos are great. Hope you do Destroyer (Dan Bejar) one day.
I've talked to him, and exchanged a gentleman's handshake back during the Garden of Delete touring days at EMPAC in 2015. Was a wild show, and he's a chill dude. I'd love to see something on the Ford x Lopatin collab Channel Pressure one day
Thanks for this video. Wow, you did your research for sure.
I'm a fan and even I learned something. I also love the funny moments.
6:18, finally someone talking about that hidden gem
I see a lot of folks in the comments speaking on the fact opns music is difficult to consume. I agree. But listen a few times, if you care to, and it hits hard.

very nice. please make more like these
good stuff, keep em comin
Wow I've research Daniel a bunch of times and haver have I heard the origin of his OPN name. Bravo.
Woah, I'm educated now!
I LOVE YOU FOR THIS OMG
Eccojams, R plus 7 and Garden of delete are my favorite,
Ps. I love the pirated iPod vibe you talk about.
Also, I miss the old iPhone layout too.
the bombshell of 106.7 got me
An incomplete guide to cardiacs would be amazing
Great video! I'm wondering though, why didn't you mention Love in The Time of Lexapro? It seems like a really impactful album in his career.
Commissions 1 is great, meet your creator is top 5 for me from opn.
To think a month ago I didn’t know oneohtrix point never
great video pal👍
this is video is wonderful
Doesn't he have tracks on Good Time?
I got into Lopatin during the Games that we can play era. That EP was mesmerizing , and I soon purchased a Roland Juno and got heavily into synth music. I think OPN is his most important project musically , but it’s crazy that he basically invented an entire genre of music with a side project - Chuck Person and Vaporwave.
let's fucking go opn is my favorite musician lmao
OPN doesn’t get enough credit for G of D and how much the album preempted hyperpop
He worked with Tim Hecker? I WAS JUST LISTENING TO HIM
You should delve into the catalog of the breakcore artist “CD-R”
Pretty good sparknotes on this guy, first heard of him by seeing the Still Life music video (super nsfw/nsfl) and now listened to his Again LP, and saw him live in DC this year. What do you think that release?
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NEW UPLOAD!!!!!
❤
James ferraro vid pls
Vapor is the creep to his yorke
0:11 Trihex?
oh fuck yeah
Did I see it right when in the video when you included the cover of Cosmogramma when talking about stuff he worked on? I cant find credits of him from that album.
cosmogramma is there because it was released on warp records, the label opn is signed to
Describing Africa by Toto as "bubblegum" is a really weird take. I always felt like it had an air of navel gazing faux intellectualism that made it an absolute dirge of a song to listen to.
Yeah, it sucks.
i suggest a guide on vektroid!
you needs to do a video on five starcle men
i like dis
Nice
Do one of these on James Ferraro next lol
FLOW KRANIUM RIP
Judy/10
What’s playing at 6:47
Everything is Working by Games
What the hell is the stupid thing with "hell"
apparently saying that word on youtube gets you demonetized

Me gusta mucho tu música y tus videos cortos. 👍 uno de Pamelarioss.Uno Quiere compartir videos como el tuyoy para conseguir el cariño que no tiene.
Uncut Gems had the worst movie score I've heard in my life. The actors had to yell over it to be heard during the movie. Daniel Lopatin needs to never score music for a movie again. My ears felt assaulted by that awful random garbage.
My god this is horrible
