On R Plus Seven, Oneohtrix Point Never’s follow-up to 2011’s Replica, Daniel Lopatin builds new music using the bright yet cold textures of the early computing age. The album plays with our collective unconscious of music technology to develop something that comes off as strange and otherworldly and, most importantly, rich with feeling, despite the icy surface layer.

Daniel Lopatin's latest full-length sees him stepping away from the extreme sampling that made 2011's Replica so thrilling. Instead, he rests on his passion for tightly sequenced synths, and there are some somewhat engaging results.
