COMMISSIONS II by ONEOHTRIX POINT NEVER

The highlight of Commissions II comes on the 19-minute opus "Suite from Magnetic Rose". Commissioned by Abandon Normal Devices and performed as a live accompaniment in Manchester to Koji Morimoto’s 1995 anime film Magnetic Rose (itself part of a trilogy of short anime from multiple animators entitled Memories), it’s perhaps Lopatin’s most sumptuous and satisfying long-form piece of music to date.
