Ok, so yesterday I posted all about Oneohtrix Point Never and I am going to touch a little bit on some of the other insane, fun and awesome music he has produced under various other names. First there's Games which is his project with co-conspirator Joel Ford, which is now known as Ford & Lopatin and making music in a different vein. The two releases as Games Everything is Working and That We Can Play have held the many of the top 20 most played songs on my ipod for the past YEAR. With the title track holding the number one spot for an ENTIRE YEAR. Crazy Stuff. Anyhow I thought the Games moniker and sound was dead but a few days back they released this woozy, screwed and chopped take on the Manhattan's "Crazy" (which I have now learned is the jam) and I was a very happy man indeed. Listen and you will smile too.
GAMES - No Disguise by Ford & Lopatin
AND. Here's my number one most listened to song for the past year. I don't really need to say too much more. It's like being a beautiful bath of sound that you want to last forever. Listen closer.

Here's another couple tracks that stayed in the top twenty most played for a year as well. They make me feel like I'm in the movie Rad which is an amazing feeling. But all vintage refences aside, music didn't sound like this in the 80's. Games uses a similar palette but paints a far more detailed, tweaked, and exciting picture. Both of these are so so good.

Also do yourself a favor and check the video for "Planet Party." Sure, this was WAY back in 2010, and now its 2011 and we are reviving different things these days but this is still a whole lot of fun.
