  2. 9.1 |   Consequence Of Sound

    If Lopatin’s earlier work sampled new age tones and textures to sinister effect, then G.o.D. scrapes up the rusted edges of the music you listen to in moments of unbridled teen rage

  9. 8.0 |   The Skinny

    Arguably this is Oneohtrix’s anti-ambient record, where rhythm takes centre stage and refuses to be polite

  10. 8.0 |   Loud And Quiet

    Here’s a record with the nous to present its smarts with a dash of humility.

  11. 8.0 |   Uncut

    Dissolves into a beautifully arranged and slightly sickly morass of curdled pop tropes, out of which spurt a bodacious riff or glossy rave arpeggio. Print edition only

  12. 8.0 |   Under The Radar

    It is a complex beast of shade and mood, and it's Lopatin's best work yet

  13. 8.0 |   The Quietus

    Daniel Lopatin has effectively altered the discourse around electronic music making as leisure or labour, the consumption of productive technologies, what constitutes musical skill – and paradoxically assembled his most enduring work

  14. 8.0 |   Crack

    Everything overdoses from vocoder sampling and caustic Kronos machine manipulation. There is no context. No reference. Take what you will from it

    That OPN can still sound wholly original while engaging with the mainstream reiterates the strength of vision that brought him to this point

  21. 7.5 |   Spectrum Culture

    This is a record with the depth to match Lopatin’s considerable ambitions, one that applies his crate-digger instincts to a higher purpose

  22. 7.0 |   musicOMH

    When the dust settles, this may not be the album that captures all that is best about Lopatin’s work, but it may well be the one that sees him at last embraced by a wider audience

Public Service Broadcasting  The Last Flight

The album closes with the absolutely haunting “Howland,” named for the island where Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, were supposed to stop to refuel. Clocking in at eight and a half minutes and ending with actual field recordings of the island itself, it’s a worthy and mournful ending to a tragic story Under The Radar

Kim Deal  Nobody Loves You More
