just picked up the Oval on iTunes. it's sounding really really great...
i didn't get into his super harsh stuff that much, but this sounds like a return to something delicate..

i'll have to check it out.
at first his harsh stuff was really jarring to me (there is that one sound that he uses throughout.. the one that sounds like a bottle rocket taking off, used to make me flinch) but for some reason now Ovalprocess sounds really really beautiful to me.
something about that album just feels so physical... i don't know what it is.  like a human element trying to fight it's way out.

I think I'm the only one that doesn't like the new Oval.. the abstraction was what I liked about the old stuff so much..

[rené]

nah, you are not alone. i do not get it neither... I can see how people like it as the harmonies are still similar to the older stuff but all in all it is a bit too playful and cheery/hectic for me.
I do not like the jazzy post rock moments. I do not mean to sound rude but the stuff on "oh" reminds me of minotaur shock, capitol k, leafcutter john, etc. Not bad but not my cup of tea. Wish there'd be another So record sometime.

So is one of my favorite albums ever - I don't expect Popp to just keep doing the same thing, but, you know, personal taste...

I'm with you on So, its just too crazy and amazing to not love. Still though, abstract aside, '94Diskont' is one of my all-time favorite electronic albums. Bought the LP used before I knew who Oval was, and still I wake up to 'Do While' at least once a week.
