I'd like to hear a tune with that name, though. Maybe just because the two-parter wrapped it up better. Not sure if it was for length (only 5 minutes), but there's plenty of non-album tracks appended. This track is completely left off of Rifts. And even longer: 11 minutes to Part 1's nine. The epic unfolds and ends, much as it began. YouTube commenters reference 'Broads of Canada.' They probably mean Boards, but who am I to say? Stepped up a bit, but still with a slight meander. Arpeggios bubble over one another, but not rudely. Pulses like the mellower flavors of Jonas Reinhardt. Fits much better as a middle section, especially with the second part coming up later (at the end of this section of the disc). I kind of tend to drift away during this one, which tells me it's working. The original lead track, and it's all stretching out formless, low-key ambient style. Good soundtrack for old-school Russian sci-fi, or so it would seem. Title track for a reason, it floats and arcs cosmonautically. These two ease you into the experience, but avoid the amorphous sprawl of the 'side' ending two-part megalith of ambient drift. But even this section explores a lot of moods and approaches. It's pretty much all synthesizer, all the time. Updated tracking works better, with one exception. But I'm including the order (Side A/B, track#) from the original cassette release, which is slightly different and makes less sense to me. Oneohtrix Point Never - Betrayed In The Octagon (2007 cassette, 2009)įor this one, I'm going through the songs in the order of the 2xCD comp. Song name links are to non-embedded video clips. This is the first real post in a series going through the component albums of recent 2009 multi-CD collections by Oneohtrix Point Never ( Rifts, synth) and Leyland Kirby ( Sadly, The Future Is No Longer What It Was, ambient).
