Oval, even if he's never done anything as visceral as 'Love Sosa'.

Keep in mind that Oval was not solo until after 94diskont, so that album, Systemisch, and Wohnton should not count in your consideration.

If you listen to one solo Oval album, I'd highly recommend Szenariodisk, which is a CD compilation of two 10" vinyl releases. If you listen to a second, I'd suggest O, which marks a drastic change in Oval's style. I'm aware that Dok is Necharsian's favorite Oval album, and it's likely the least abrasive. Ovalcommers and Ovalprocess are also good to me, and I'd say Ovalcommers is likely Oval's most abrasive.

O is a long album, so if you'd prefer to listen to the abridged vinyl version (1st CD plus extra tracks) rather than the CD version, the tracklist is:

1. Panorama
2. Ah!
3. Shhh
4. Glossy
5. Stop Motion
6. Sky
7. Beige
8. Brahms Mania
9. Cinematic
10. Cry
11. Cottage
12. I heart Musik
13. Salamanca
14. Dolo
15. Dricas
16. Cyprus
17. Vessel
18. Dynamo
19. Finis
20. Emocor
21. Alpen Wireframe
22. Wonda
23. Intensify
24. Encore
25. 1983
26. Haff

here's some samples from Szenariodisk and O:

If I had to state anything about the importance of Oval, it's that it brought increased atmosphere and ambiance to a genre (glitch) that is typically much harsher.

I have heard neither of these artists, and cannot wait for Geevy to post some links to Chief Keef so I can delve into two new artists for this matchup.

"Love Sosa" is great, time to see if anything that Oval has can top it
