#1965 Oneohtrix Point Never - The Fall into Time

Six deeply, mechanically minimal tracks, shifting only barely as they loop in place. It makes a certain sense: Oneohtrix always played with time, now instead of dragging individual samples incrementally into detunery, it's the whole song stretched back into a different kind of tunefulness.

The patience, the slow-shift bleeding out from under you, is the album's small thrill. But it ends up feeling like a conceptual wank and won't compete with any of the greats for pure ambient ambiance 3/5
