This should play when someone puts you on hold instead regular old lame crap they play that makes you want to knock out or put your phone on silent.

[ZXwarp]

Simple but effective.

[swingerbat]

From the soundtrack of Keanu Reeves' new musical...actually this IS the soundtrack.

[GhettoServer]

This is minecraft?

OWW! Cool! With pistons and coloured wool!

[CronicDryEyes]

Great song to chill out to. Simple, and relaxing.

[jwesley1879]

I love how everyone is waxing philosophically after being inspired by a Chris DeBurgh/"Lady In Red" sample...I don't get it, so I'll just be in the corner "re-thinking my life"

[rigragtag]

@jwesley1879 lol, the fact that it was sampled from such a putrefying mess is what makes it so good, though I doubt the philosophizers know what song its from.

[Al5xmo]

@rigragtag lady in red :)

[rigragtag]

@Al5xmo i'm eating my words now :(

[Al5xmo]

@rigragtag i hope they're delicious

[SkyBlueSkyful]

I like the part where he says "There's nobody here". Also, the part with the jiggling triangle of rainbow.

[reaktivo]

Sampled from youtube.com/watch?v=Vt2YIpZWBq­A#t=67s

[reaktivo]

meant Chris DeBurgh - Lady In Red

[BouncingBarnicle]

How was this related to a minecraft video?

[MrThomJKing]

This video is drugs.

[Jkfilms7]

Anyone know the title or artist? I'd like to know. I'd really like to know.

[TrainSquatter]

@Jkfilms7 the guy that made this song is called "oneohtrix point never"

[onbarton]

@TrainSquatter it's KGB Man (Daniel Lopatin) OPN is another of his aliases...

[stusvend]

Chill out people its a looped bit of a song, not zen.

*Insert overused comment pointing out repetitive lyrics here*

[NuGZtIlDeF]

its the 2nd tyme that hes says lady n red verse in the actual song .. cuz the 1st "nobodys here" is shit lol........... LOOP TRACKS FTFW

[inmonkeyness]

I just had an idea. Instead of hell being hell, you are forced to walk down this never-ending hallway with this song looping over and over again.

[felmoe]

absolut top .. thanks for upload ...!!! wow I love it ...

[PhoeniX999R1]

snow body year

[NEVER2RESET]

loop or genius.you decide as opposed to journalistic hyperbole

[BillyIsATwat23]

I like the bit where he says "there's nobody here"

[MsRachel122]

Wow I hate that it repeats the same damn thing

[TonyMoans]

@MsRachel122 lol go away

[septopia]

[Attackofthehank]

This song describes the Minecraft experience.

[JimmyRockDeutschland]

Mankind's last call after destroying life on this planet.

[mschizzle311]

@kidluna - word up. It's equally sad and inspiring. It's so simple, but really makes you think, at least to me, how important people are in your life.

"The point of the arts is to make people like life more than they did before." - KV. Straight up.

[ricochetVendetta]

Finally a sequel to Pink Floyds Is anybody out there?

[Beelzubub13]

[BeansOnGhost]

I still have the dvd-r ;') Love it!!

[meadorni]

Haha this sample is "Lady In Red." I would have liked to hear the the whole song with this treatment. I love that the '80s are an endless mine of inspiration for musicians, now that all the new wave and post-punk copycats have faded.

[JEANSHORTS100]

the city spirit

How do I wake up from hypnosis?

your music reminds me a lot of pornois, former argentinian act

Oneohtrix Point Never - Memory Vague

[catsula]

this must be from chris de burgh's Lady in red : there's nobody here..it's just u & me..

[THkaas]

i don't know wtf this is, but it's beautiful...

[Shoe3003]

The backing echo chorus sounds like the ending of 'Eye' by Smashing Pumkins (from 'Lost Highway' ost)

[waveshell]

I'm thinking Roxy Music.

[DJTomOke]

the track to play at the end of a set when everyone's gone home.

[Colunga210]

I want this for my answering machine except it loops for 10 minutes and you never get to leave a message.

[pwnayr]

@Colunga210 | I am going to steal this.

[BeansOnGhost]

@Colunga210 Genius ;')

[patchstitch]

[thumblister]

This is my feeling, day by day, living in Japan.

[ack303]

@thumblister time to move back? :(

[lordmoog]

They should play this at Chris de Burgh's funeral

[lordmoog]

and by funeral I mean, break into his house in the dead of night, play this on his stereo and murder him harharhar

[catsula]

@lordmoog looooooooool

[guzsaj]

what is this?

[FAUXreal2]

.BEAUTIFUL.

[beyondthesevoices]

Seriously?

[wcwashington]

@beyondthesevoices lol

[DongleProductions]

If I kill myself, I'm going to leave this playing on my computer with all the lights off for the police to find.

[sentientautomaton]

@DongleProductions Beautiful.

[glovestrong48]

@DongleProductions I guarantee the police won't get to your room in less than 2 minutes after you die. And seeing a body, I doubt they'd replay the video.

[wesgrossAV]

This type of music will make you rethink your life. Be easy to love a human and quick to forgive a human. Life's to short for bullshit.

[astrel23]

@wesgrossAV Life is TOO short for bullshit.

[pneumatonic]

@wesgrossAV -- Humans are directly responsible for almost every majorly painful moment in my life. I qualify as already being both: easy to love a human ; quick to forgive one.

Yet how strange that these very same two qualities are those which guarantee with all certainty that I will suffer more pain. Perhaps it is true: that only madmen and lunatics truly ever enjoy forgiveness, owing to their unique ability to truly forget what already happened, not recognize their enemies at later date.

[FTS7606]

@wesgrossAV probably the best comment in the entirety of youtube.

[marsnowm00z]

@Eddyfilm because you haven't yet?

[Eddyfilm]

@marsnowm00z Whether I have or haven't is a matter of opinion. I have made videos that I like a hell of a lot more than this, but "better" is a matter of taste.

Basically I found this video in my "recommended for you" list and have absolutely no idea what the hell it's doing there.

Sorry for dissing your music. I despise trollish behavior and I hope I did not emulate it. I simply don't understand what is so great about it

[sentientautomaton]

@Eddyfilm Eddy, there's nothing to understand. Listening to music is often a very personal experience, unique to the listener. If you don't like the song, then you don't like the song. You can reflect on what it is about the song that you don't enjoy, but that is entirely *your* experience. "Better" is inappropriate in this context.

Art is an interaction between the medium and the observer. Quality doesn't enter the discussion.

[Eddyfilm]

@sentientautomaton I agree with you 110%. I didn't mean to be so condescending and trollish. I dig that you guys dig this, even if I completely don't get it.

[DongleProductions]

@Eddyfilm It's lonely

[Eddyfilm]

@sentientautomaton I agree with you 110%. I am sorry for sounding trollish or condescending. I dig that you guys dig this, even if I don't understand it at all. Hell, I am sure half of the stuff I listen to will elicit the same response: "what the hell do you all see in this?

[hotjack99]

Killin it with these jams, OPN! Beast, man!!

[chagal1978]

we r here , damn sure!

[jahmorinz]

I want this in my buddha machine

[artulusis]

i have shared perfect moments of trance of any nature

[GODMV1]

What is this?...

I'm confused....

This is depressing...

This is making me feel lonely...

[breadmaker]

this is the only way to listen to chris de burgh

[KrissyKr1s]

absolutely AMAZING! is this only available on 'Memory Vague' or is there an audio release also? my ipod MUST have this!!!

:D

[peterphilip]

we should be best friends you are speaking my language...

[BeansOnGhost]

It's all in the loop ;o) Amazing stuff,i just love OPN.

[mojavemoog]

in a word, brilliant. more pleez.

[michaelamaccini]

this is the only youtube video I need

[G0D666]

I WONDER WAT THE LYIRCS MEAN

[hotjack99]

Question for you, Sunsetcorp...have you recorded any of your stuff into any kind of collection? This is...I can't even say it in a way that won't sound corny...it's...OUTSTANDING.

[WalrusKaput]

I'll take the mp3 version too please

[becusy]

@WalrusKaput You can download it from The Wire at this link: /thewire.co.uk/index.php?page=­articles&article=4888

[WalrusKaput]

Where is this from? Where can I get a high-res version?

[BeansOnGhost]

@WalrusKaput ive got the dvd-r which was very limted,check Discogs you may get lucky.

[spixmibblefur]

night bus og

[boomelcha]

This is perfect

[bonsalldogg]

"It draws together (and from) the 20thC chief arts of appropriation montage Einstein Vertov ...blah de blah. The Wire is at it again. This is just terribly lame "Salvagepunk retains the specificity of of cultural objects as it bolts them into new cultural appendages... This is the kind of sub critical theory that gets you a 2:2 at New Town Poly

[Gito360]

its not a rainbow road, its a swaying piramid!

[YvesIsaki]

I have to admit: for a song it wasn't bad.

Diversionary entertainment is transitory: it just comes and goes at the listener's whim - that's the way it should be.

But a song with no beginning or end that hooks an audience and won't let go of them, is harmful no matter how 'wonderful' you may have believed it was.

[UltraBibendum]

fake

[becusy]

Hello everyone.

My intention is not to offend anyone (total respect for different opinions), but, after seeing the importance The Wire (n. 315 pg.12) gives to this track and its comments, I have to write down my opinion. I'm sorry to say that this music, for me, isn't going anywhere. This example of what's supposed to be the transmutation of "pop culture trash into an art of the sublime" is indeed nothing but a snippet of a crappy song tiresomely repeated. Charmless.

[vshok]

@becusy but doesn't that alone, make sense?

[becusy]

@vshok Not in a way that suits me. This just leaves me indifferent.

[Al5xmo]

@becusy I don't understand viewpoints like that. Yeah it's a loop of a snippet of a crappy song and two simple visual elements. But why worry about what the cake is made of if it tastes delicious ya know? obviously you dont think it does but im just saying.

[awesine]

@becusy What did it say in The Wire?

[becusy]

@awesine Hypnagogic Pop Videos Part 1: The videos uploaded to YT by the desktop auteurs of HP are accumulating into a parallel MTV - literally an unofficial channel. Triangulated with chillwave and glofi, HP may well be one of the future-retro flavours of the moment, but don't let that deflect you: in its emerging visual formulations, HP is appropriating the modernist techniques of collage and montage to define a new wave of pop surrealism.

[becusy]

@awesine Hypnagogic Pop Videos Part 2: Like the tracks by Oneohtrix Point Never, Ducktails, Matrix Medals and Sun Araw that they visualise, these videos bring forth sensations of déjà vu and future shock simultaneously. They are a form of visual sampladelia, treating images stored on leaky VHS cassettes with basic digital FX and/or splicing them into sequences of cut'n'paste animation.

[becusy]

@awesine Hypnagogic Pop Videos Part 3: As with the music, most of the found footage is sourced from media fantasies of adolescent America in the 80s, and so these videos travel back through time to transform dreams into memories then project them forward as hallucinations, which is the quality that links them with more selfconscious sci fi anthropological art films by the likes of The Otolith Group.

[becusy]

@awesine Hypnagogic Pop Videos Part 4:  Appropriately, these examples of lo-res DIY film making works best when downloaded and viewed on the miniaturised screens of handheld devices. On anything bigger, the increased grain of the footage acts as interference, amplifying the hypnagogia but diminishing the effect of their cathode ray psychedelia. The animated video for OPN's Nobody Here is a classic of this emerging genre and the way it can transmute pop culture trash into an art of the sublime.

[becusy]

@awesine Hypnagogic Pop Videos Part 5: The audio lifts a short vocal phrase from Chris de Burgh's Lady In Red and spins it into a stunning techno-mantra (and if that isn't an example of the alchemical power of the sample and the loop, then I don't know what is). Like the audio, the visuals are a perfect metaphor for suburban isolation and ennui, depicting an empty rainbow-coloured highway that sways gently from side to side as it funnels into the heart of a nocturnal metropolis.

[becusy]

@awesine Hypnagogic Pop Videos Part 6: The comments posted on the video's YT page (It feels so good, This should never stop) say a lot about the sensual appeal of the loop in both visual and audio art, ie its promise to suspend you forever in the heightened eroticism of an otherwise fleeting moment. Tony Herrington

[awesine]

@becusy Thanks. I tried googling for scans and I tried viewing it on The Wires website but to no avail, so I appreciate the type up. I think I read in one of your earlier posts, you don't care for the song or video. But I have been pretty obsessed with it since earlier this year, just happens to make sense in the period of life I am in right now and for most of this year. Thanks again.

[becusy]

@awesine You're welcome.
