O

VINYL FORMAT. Comes with a digital download! O is the first new Oval album in nearly a decade, a striking seventy track double LP and the follow up to the Oh EP by electronic pioneer Markus Popp. Popp is often credited as the creator of what was later dubbed the "glitch" or "clicks & cuts" style. Popp's mid-'90s albums Systemisch and 94Diskont took the world of electronic music and turned it on its head. He went on to create sound sculptures that were exhibited in galleries and museums around the world. Now this genre defining artist is emphasizing the musician that was hiding behind the technician. The result is a celebration in delicacy and detail: handcrafted polyrhythmic phrases, riffs and structures, bristling with tiny resonances. Named for a new beginning, (ground zero if you will), O is just that: fresh and new. The 2xLP version comes in a gatefold jacket available in four different colors (randomly picked – sorry!) and features the twenty tracks from CD1 spread out over Sides A-C. Side D features six vinyl-only tracks. Also included is a download coupon for all vinyl tracks and the fifty tracks from CD2 for seventy-six tracks total!
