3 x CD Box set.

‘Rifts’ gathers together three of Daniel Lapotin’s early mini-LP’s; ‘Betrayed in the Octagon’, ‘Russian Mind’ and ‘Zones Without People’. As such, this is an essential collection that documents the development of that unique Oneohtrix Point Never sound. On one level that sound was an amalgum of digital atmospheres that might evoke lost memories of a 1980’s childhood, on the other this is the music you would want to take with you on your first journey into space. If you happened to forget to take it, or forgot the CD player, then this is music you would probably be hearing anyway, whether it be played out in your mind or, in the case of the eerie, foreboding ‘Woe is the Transgression’, by the cosmos itself. This is more than just ambient music though, it is, if there were such a thing, dynamic ambience, with shades of jazz, techno, modern classical, drone, industrial and synth-pop merging to form one diverse but cohesive whole. Ladies and gentlemen you are floating in space…
