This is what test tube said about this release
«OCP stands for Operador de Cabine Polivalente, an ongoing sound project by Joćo Ricardo, a portuguese born world citizen. OCP has released before for the excellent half portuguese/half japanese MiMi Records and for the young but already great british Serein Net-audio Label. Joćo Ricardo suits up his OCP moniker whenever he wants "(...)to develop uncommon sound textures/patterns/compositions taking different approaches, applying diverse techniques." He also produces as Pygar, together with his friend Hugo Olim. Some months ago, Joćo submitted this 'Sound Check' piece to Test Tube, asked me to listen to it and later to think about publishing it. Usually I like long pieces, yes, but this one got my special attention. This 55 minute track is not your typical drone-ambient-long-as-hell-track that makes you want to go to bed. No. 'Sound Check' has many different personalities inside its shell, many different mood shifts. It has ambient moments, noise and glitch parts, beat sequences, everything you can imagine in the abstract electronics genre. It's sad sometimes, but also has its bright and sunny moments. Taking its title literally, it could be a sound check for Joćo's latest sound database, a work in progress for something else yet to be born. But it's already alive, trying to break the outside shell and mutate into that 'something else'. One of my favorite sequences starts at minute 20, a funky electro/IDM driven dialogue that wants to pull you out of your chair and throw you into the dancefloor, but never makes the decision. Mighty, mighty soundcheck.» - Pedro Leitćo

This is excellent. Not boring. 55 minutes of evolving sound. Very musical. Interesting textures. .
