Oneohtrix Point Never's - Age Of, arrives from the far future to advance all forms of RNB, black metal, electronica and chamber sounds with an album that both in sound and physical media packaging is so far ahead of the curve that it will take another album or two from OPN before you can even begin to unwind your head from its vaporous prog cloud. Pepped throughout with the talent of Prurient, Anohni, Kelsey Lu, James Blake and Eli Keszler, trust us when we say the robotic tendrils of Age Of will hold tight.

Each of Age Of's thirteen pieces feels like its own miniature universe, every minute could theoretically be stretched out to form its own Age Of offshoot LP. These are proper TUNES (a vital point to note, these are properly tunes and not just 'tracks') as exploration through lands rich with storylines, lives lived, heroes, villains, battles won and lost. Yet what's first notable is OPN's use of his own vocoder vocals that make up the texture of the record and personally, we feel it adds a unique third dimension to his music. Showing that not only is he a dab hand behind the desk pulling notes out of the machines for Anohni, David Byrne, FKA Twigs and Iggy Pop or going Chi-Town Teklife techno with DJ Earl, but he can also write and sing with the very best of them.
