The 405
His latest batch of tracks is warm, dizzying and flat-out blissful in places, as on the serene closing track, 'Chrome Country'. It's also multi-layered and intricate, demanding that you give your full attention to it

The Quietus
R Plus Seven marks not only an important milestone for Oneohtrix Point Never, but also for the broader historical continuum of electronic music. It's a 'where are we now?' kind of album; at its finest, it aspires to speak to the state-of-the-art

Doesn’t have quite the disembodied weirdness of Replica, but it’s no less accomplished, another intriguing chapter from an artist whose work remains alive with possibility

There’s not the melancholy of 2010’s Returnal, nor the conceptual consistency of 2011’s Replica - instead, Lopatin alternates between striking sublimity and inescapable menace

The Line Of Best Fit
Instrumental, amorphous, constantly shape-shifting and only keeping to the most shadowy of structures, R Plus Seven is more a collection of atmospheres and moods than anything that can sensibly be organised into “tracks”

Lopatin could have done well by repeating Replica’s inimitable bag of tricks. Wisely, he hasn’t as R Plus Seven is more of a departure than you’d expect, and it’s an excellent one
