There's a real sense of discovery here, or possibilities being probed, and that feeling is infectious.
Replica catches Lopatin at the peak of his powers, realizing his esoteric vision with a newfound brazenness
Replica remains subdued and solemn, teetering on the edge of a gaping vacuum of sound.
Sampling paradise.
Replica is the 5th studio album from American electronic music producer Daniel Lopatin, under the moniker Oneohtrix Point Never.
It was released in November 2011, having been recorded at Mexican Summer Studios in Brooklyn New York. It received highly positive reviews & was a modest commercial success, peaking at No. 7 in the US Heatseeker Albums.
