Betrayed in the Octagon is the first album by electronic artist Oneohtrix Point Never, initially credited to "Magic Oneohtrix Point Never".

Background[]

The album is the first Lopatin released under the "Oneohtrix Point Never" pseudonym. The album was released initially in 2007 on hand-numbered cassettes on the Deception Island label. It was reissued on vinyl in 2009 under No Fun Records.[2]

The album was recorded somewhere in Massachusetts with a Roland Juno-60, a Sequential Circuits Six-Trak, and a Roland SQ-700 Sequencer.[3]

Songs from the album were later re-released in the 2009 compilation Rifts.

Reception[]

Writing for AllMusic, Fred Thomas wrote that Loptain "[cascades] through phrases of haunted elegance and more mellow new age reflection" on the album that started the Oneohtrix Point Never project.[1]
