KGB MAN / Oneohtrix Point Never - KGB Nights / Blue Drive (Catholic tapes)

Daniel Lopatin is best known as Oneohtrix Point Never. Under this monniker he released the essential double cd Rifts (a collection of three vinyl releases and some tapes) which I consider to be one of the best albums of 2009. The two ten minute compositions on the Oneothrix Point Never tape are another prime example of his analogue synth excursions of stellar beauty. The other tape lets us meet KGB Man, the new alter ego of Lopatin, who likes it a bit more spacey electro/synth style. The tapes come housed in a beautiful cardboard box with 2 transparent inserts. The cover art is amazing.
