ZONES WITHOUT PEOPLE by ONEOHTRIX POINT NEVER

2012's Rifts compiled Oneohtrix Point Never's (aka Daniel Lopatin) first three full albums alongside a crop of rare and out-of-print CDR and cassette material in a deluxe, five LP vinyl box set. Following the success of this sold-out one-time release, the Software imprint presents all five LPs for sale individually. Each LP includes a digital download code. Check!Zones Without People was originally released on LP in two editions of 500 by Arbor, August 2009." Includes digital download code. Arpeggios and sequencers play a key role in this amalgamation, as these forms of repetition create an attachment to a certain sentiment neither human nor machine. The record reflects this transformation; the A Side has distinct emotional flourishes, while the majority of the B Side seems to be overtaken in cold, mechanized melodies; attempts at teaching a machine to feel. The final track, 'Hyperdawn,' is a solution to these two disparate modes of interpreting stimuli: a pure union of veins and patch cables.
