  • Power Of Persuasion reminds me a lot of Before I Leave by Fennesz

  • STOP DOWNLOADING! Bands deserve to get paid. It doesn't make them "sellouts"..If your boss doesn't pay you for your job at Mc d's you are getting ripped off like downloaders rip off bands.Cool bands cant recoup costs from their labels and are getting dropped.We will be stuck with GaGa and Beiber cuz 12 yr olds pay for music more than "indie" kids do. It is also compromising the state of the internet.It's a human problem not a music problem.Give something back to music and the net.

  • @valentino0214 You assume people make music only for money. You also assume bands make a dime from their actual songs and cds, and not from concerts and tours. In other words your a bit presumptive.

  • @maniswil2 I am signed with a label,all my friends are singed with labels,Major and indie.I am not assuming anything.I make 50% of album sale royalties.Labels take over 50% of shows and merchandise.Did you know that?Or are you being a bit presumptuous? Dont make excuses,new indie bands are not getting the chance they deserve because of people like you.In other words you're a bit of an idiot.

  • @valentino0214 Actually I was being a bit presumptuous in thinking about being signed, especially to a major label. I can't help that, I'm going on the idea the band is self-promoting and taking an independent approach to being a band and not relying on the hand of big business. However once again --I remind you people get into music because they want to be musicians. Also the best way for your bands music to get out is allowing people to have it for free. Unless you want to be Metallica.

  • @maniswil2 That was a more productive point you have made.Let me enlighten you on how it hurts artists in my opinion. It stifles the option to work with and take time with a studio and Mic drums/amps, get natural reverbs and good takes and soooooo much more because there aren't any funds.I want bands to sound like Marvin Gaye,T.Rex,Beatles etc etc again.It's cool that we get creative on our ipads but it's not cool that we cant benefit from generations of studio techniques.

  • definition of douche chills right here

  • the songs on this album remind me of the times when i get sleep paralysis......i like it :)

  • im sorry but i dont think ill ever be cool enough to enjoy the song remember off this album. is this actually accepted as genuine music? i honestly dont know i am completely ignorant to the subject pleeease enlighten me.

  • Definitely not an easy listening album. The beauty is within the deep complex sounds and loops. Your review was great, you put words to my thoughts, and I thank you for that. Such a great album.

  • What Tangerine Dream album cover is shown? My friend self released an album a couple years ago with a very similar cover.

  • Comment removed

  • He barely just 'saunters into the field of sample based music' he's been using samples in his work for ages. If anything he's stepping back into an old field of his and - particularly his project as Chuck Person. His 'eccojams' being entirely loop based experiments. (they're all on youtube to check out) To me he's more taking his current OPN stlye and using the eccojam approach to get this new sound.

  • @monkeyfishrule Ye the needle-drop excels in misinformation and opinions based on the baseless

  • I felt the same way on this album. Took me 2 lazy plays and 1 full listening session to finally say "that was pretty sick"

  • Plunderfonix Point Never

  • Nailed it. Excellent review :)

  • Great review.

  • Loving this so much. Thank you beyond whatever words I may conjure for turning me on to it!

  • I've just been zoning to the 2nd side of this and the end jam spins out into some hypnotically Enoish territory. Beautiful.

  • I thought "Up" had a great fade-in between parts, trip-tano......

  • can u do a track review of Lionel Richie's "Good Morning"?

  • Review the new Plance Palanski Album, Rolling Stone said "Album of the Year"

  • Review the new Digitalism album!

  • I don't dig that sampling at all, sounds cheap.

    

  • yo anthony im just wondering-are you straight edge?

  • Just got around to listening to this. Definitely picked up on the influences you mentioned in the review. Love the samples used here, but so intriguing that it also took a bit to get comfortable with them. It's the kind of record I discover late into the night and it's not until sunrise that I can really "see" its merits and potential. Great review!

  • Shouldn't this be on your Loved list?

  • sleep dealer is an amazing song. track 2

  • You are thorough, Fantano. I like it.

  • @ smokyp3nguin... first, i think if yr going to review shit, then perhaps set yrself apart by reviewing music that isn't anywhere. why not break new bands? also homophobia? you mad brah? all of my friends are gay, but this isn't some pc pissing contest. & it's the internet, we're welcome everywhere. fuck off asshole.

  • it seems as if every review he does comes a week or two after p4k's, & he pretty much parrots everything those dickless faggots say.

  • @yearfuture Wow, seems like a faulty argument because most of what he reviews has never been on pitchfork. But of course a better question is: who the fuck cares? Take your homophobia elsewhere, you're not welcome here.

  • @yearfuture I disagree. Some of his reviews came before the reviews by Pitchfork.

  • BALD MAN SPEAKS THE TRUTH

  • I thought it was interesting to find out that OPN used 80's commercial samples because Boards of Canada did too. They seem pretty similar.

  • reviewed this after the initial leak, pretty similar to what you said, actually! secretresonance.tumblr.com/pos­t/12225115814/oneohtrix-point-­never-replica-2011

  • whenever i listen to your album reviews i put the album on grooveshark and listen to you narrate over it. Needledrop is my number one currently for finding new music.

  • So happy you reviewed this, one of my favourite artists.

  • Dumbfoundead - DFD

  • did you only hear about opn because it got bnm'd on p4k last month?

  • @yearfuture

    That would be weird.

  • Wait, its pronounced "one-oh-trix"? I've been saying "oh-nee-oh-trix".

  • Review The Roots - Undun please :)

  • How many listens did it take for you to 'break'/'get'/love this album, I'm on about my 5th or 6th listen and it still isn't quite resonating with me yet. I'm enjoying parts of it, but just not loving all of it, so I was wondering how many listens you had to reach before you finally loved this album?

    Love the review btw, keep up the good work

  • You had me at Tangerine Dream

  • do you listen to spiritual front?

  • loooooove this album

  • review black keysssssssssss

  • best album of the year

  • review the lakutis ep I'm in the forest

  • Are you going to review Zorya - Floex? 

  • I just wish the album wasn't so repetitive within the single tracks but I digress, it's amazing overall.

  • You should review the Prurient album, Bermuda Drain. It's hella angsty in an embarrassing way but its got this noise-goes-pop thing going on and its so charming.

  • Couldn't really agree any more.

  • Please review the new Vladislav Delay album, Vantaa.

  • loving this album. How's bout review Kate Wax - Dust Collision?

  • After watching this I am even more excited to listen to it again, listened to it lightly sort of skimmed through it and thought it was amazing, it definitely showed a lot of range sonically, the samples are too much at times but still amazing. Hope you can review the sigur ros album.

  • Thought for Food was better than The Way Out, but that's not important. Neat review as usual.

  • like erikm in bad. hype

  • I streamed this yesterday morning. It was pretty dang good. I enjoyed it a lot. Some memorable and interesting samples and loops. Thank you music nerd.

  • condominium- warm home lp

  • @theneedledrop

    I.

    Love.

    YOU.

    ANTHONY GODMAN FANTANO.

  • Really love this album, some incredible sounds.

  • Three Trapped Tigers - Route one or die.

    REVIEW OR DAI.

  • Thank you for reviewing this! I agreed with your review in that initially the samples, and the rhythms they created seemed distracting, but ultimately that's what made this album unique and interesting. Thanks!

  • YES finally, thank you!

  • Please review Ents Demos album. They're super fast and super heavy nonstop, but nonstop is only for like thirty seconds at a time.

    

  • Please review Steel Panther - Balls Out

  • new Tycho LP!!!

    or the new lupe mixtape...

  • Hey Anthony have you ever reviewed some Balearic tunes?

    Please review An album by korallreven - korallreven

    Cheers!

  • this whole album makes me think of Bladerunner..

  • @mrchillyphilli bladerunner soundtrack is so immense!

  • Please review Sigur Ros - Inni if you can.

  • @theREALChadsexinton @theneedledrop Definitely see the movie if you can if you review it. The visual component is very important. It's gorgeous.

  • Mr Oizo - Stade2 !

  • I invision your death with proceedings of a strong cult following. cult.

  • Review and Isaac and hilltop track,brooo.

  • Review Lupe Fiasco - Friend of the People

  • BLU - N O Y O R K

  • ever heard jane jane pollock?

  • Hey Theneedledrop, I think you should review Trapped Under Ice's new record, Big Kiss Goodnight. Its release caused a major buzz in hardcore, and I think it would be interesting to hear your take on contemporary hardcore bands (I am thinking specifically of Rotting Out, Trapped Under Ice, Take Offense, etc). I noticed you seemed like a fan of some hardcore (props to your enjoyment of "Rise Above" on the Death Grips review) and I think your opinion would be welcomed. Think about it. Thanks!

  • Comment removed

  • This is an important one, guys, mark my words. We'll remember this record as the start of something really awesome in sample-based music

  • You should do a track review of the new Alcest single; "Autre temps".

  • Tycho's new album? :/ 

  • Straming the LP. This and the LOG.OS are my favorite you have reviewed recently.

  • Very nice review, been wanting for it for a while. Also, I always thought it was oh-nee-oh-trix. I learn something new everyday.

  • Plunderphonic, that's a word I haven't heard in some time. Nobody beats Negativland!

  • Hey anthony, love to know your opinion on Owen's new short LP, Ghost Town. The lingering, and simple yet haunting sounds of the guitars and xylophones are pleasure to listen to. I suggest you try it! Also I am listening to increasingly more indie music, and I was wondering what your favorite Animal Collective songs were! Thanks and keep nerding, we love you!

  • Plz you do Jets World Order plz

  • Hey can you do Jet World Order!

  • I can't handle the brosocks

  • 1:22 - best freeky deeky moment of the year.

  • @alreadytakenthe3rd Arguably! I also like the one in Fleet Foxes Helplessness Blues Track Reviews.

  • I'm streaming the album right now, thanks to your wonderful review which I paused to listen to the album. I have to say it kind of reminds me of Animal Collective.

  • you should review some of pogo's tracks :D

  • Anyone else notice the more he does the evil hand gesture, the higher rating is for the album?

    Love the reviews, keep it up!!!

  • The Roots?

  • Nurses - Dracula, please review. It'll be the best album you've reviewed in a long time I asure you. Do the right thing

  • tony wit a fresh cut i see you brah

  • sepalcure - sepalcure

  • You should review PUJOL's latest EP, Nasty, Brutish, and Short. Dooo ittttt.

  • Tenhi - Saivo

  • Anthony, how do you fucking do it? I love you man.

  • i want to get more into music like the kind of stuff theneedledrop listens to, can anyone give me some bands that you might recommend?

  • All I can say is wow, this album is amazing! I loved OPN the first time I heard him, and surprisingly, YourWrongImRight reviewed his previous album and got me hooked to this beautiful music. This is an awsome album and one that will be in my collection, thanks for the review Anthony :-)

  • the new Polar Bear Club

  • 310th view in a needle drop video! :D Anthony, I respect you as a musical critic and fully support what you are doing. :) Keep it up, son.

  • AF, I'm a little late on this, but amoung all my purchases this year an electronic EP album struck me. MILES - Facets. It came out last summer, you should have a try...

  • Wow, this music actually is a lot of fun. Seems like it would be awesome to drive to at night. Thanks!

  • if you listened to chuck person's eccojams this wouldn't be new to you. i like this album a lot, but eccojams really took the idea of making samples into songs to a much crazier level.

  • The Republic of Wolves - In the House of Dust!!!!

  • chill album

  • Girl Talk is a fucking idiot, I hate that little prick. Great review Btw

  • I wanted to hear Cal's take on the name..

  • It's warm enough to wear shorts over there? ENVY!

  • The Roots- Undun

  • do the randomer - real talk ep. only 3 tracks

  • goyte - 

  • The Black Keys- El Camino

  • one oh trix? I always thought it was oh nee oh het rix. DANG.

  • Anthony, please don't review the new Black Keys record. It disappointed me. Go review some abstract ambient soundscapes instead.

  • Can you please review: The Roots - undun?

  • Review the new Alcest single 'Autre Temps' !!!!!!! that would be awesome

  • This and Ravedeath, 1972 are two of my favourite albums so far this year.

  • @Electrohead92 YES!

  • never - forever, such a clash

  • Review Locrian's new The Clearing.

  • STADE 2 mr oizo

    pleeasee

  • Review Youtube's new look.

  • @TheBensont123 its a light 0

  • Animals As Leaders - Weightless.

    Please please please!

  • Chris Webby- There goes the neighborhood

  • Please review Wax's Eviction Notice mixtape

  • Best thing OPN has done so far by a long shot, IMO (though I'm also quite enamoured with Channel Pressure). Personally, I feel this album seems stranger, more interesting, and leads me on some sort of journey more than the sleepy synths of his older stuff.

  • @theneedledrop hey Anthony I really think you should check out / review Eligh & Amp Live - Therapy @ 3 . LA/ Bay Area independent hip hop legends. For me its honestly hip hop record of the year, so original, creative, positive, a wide variety genre blending. Check it out seriously..Id like to know what you think

  • Anthony you need to check out Wax's new mixtape "Eviction Notice" you won't be dissapointed

  • Anyone else try to guess the rating by the picture?

  • yep, that be my favorite album of the year

  • HOLY SHIT YOU ACTUALLY REVIEWED IT I THOUGHT ID NEVER SEE THE DAY

  • Sounds like a Kid Messing with the FL Studio.  A total waste of life.

  • 1st off i watch what you post no matter what. I might not like the music but i like to see what you have to say and think.

    I would just like to ask for a review in the Drone, Sludge, Stoner (blah blah blah) area. You won me over with vids reviewing bands like Earth, Sunn, Black Cobra, High On Fire, Weedeater. To tell you the truth i think we are in need of a review that will upset some people.Just like the Disma's album Towards The Megalith.

    Desert rock ? New EP by Felipe 'Arcazas'

  • SEPALCURE!!

  • not your best review, tony

  • Sepalcure - Sepalcure?

  • @DontTouchDat do it

  • panda bear

    

  • Yea yea yea

  • i thought this album was great. glad to see you liked it.

  • My kind of music.

  • I really enjoy this album, the different layers of samples on certain songs are great, but I don't enjoy the more synth driven songs quite as much. You can tell how much care was spent into creating these songs though.

  • I have a valiant boner right now. Weeks of requesting this beast of an album for exposure just paid off. Shit yeah

  • I know you responded to me before, but I was wondering if you were going to review the los campesinos! record at all. I'm just curious.

  • So apparently Feist and Mastodon are doing a Split. You better review that anthony. Each is covering one of each others songs.

  • fuck mitt romney and all his ads

  • I don't understand this album,

  • What about Kids & explosions. He should be on that list!

  • It is a really good album, probably my favourite of the year.

  • review peter even's new album ghosts

  • it would be interesting to hear about the new album Korn - Path Of Totality, Venom - Fallen Angels and Megadeth - 13

  • AWEsome OFF! shirt

  • Anthony, do you like Moby? 'Cause you look like Moby. :3

    I like Moby. Moby's cool.

    Moby.

  • YOU LIKED A MUSIC!

  • @floftyAl Newer music is hard to like if you're smart.

  • @K1ngSh0t I don't follow

  • Please Review Wax's new mixtape, Eviction Notice!

  • Your reviews are so in depth that I sometimes listen to a review of an album, by an artist I don't know. Lol.

  • @Bhatch2007 that's the whole point of this channel...to introduce you to artists you don't know and turn you on to new music.

  • @ericmsandoval True indeed.

  • Do Imaginaerum by Nightwish!!!!

  • OPN has taken a pretty sharp left turn since he wrote Heaven Is A Halfpipe
