someone actually tracked down a bunch of the Sleepline samples, wow

https://www.whosampled.com/album/New-Dreams-Ltd./Sleepline/

this album is such a cool trip. first time I heard it was on a long drive and I honestly thought it was only like 25 minutes (maybe confused it with Eden)...I remember checking and being like, "damn, I'm only on track 7?!?"

My favorite V sample is probably the bridge to “Too Shy” by kajagoogoo, which became “Timecop” on Initiation Tape

I caught a bunch of her twitch stream last night. She was playing a bunch of semi obscure PS1 games. she doesn’t narrate, but she did occasionally pause the game to write in the chat to tell watchers who broached business (like “where’s my t shirt”) that the stream was not the place to discuss that stuff.

She has a very cool stream layout though. The centerpiece is this endlessly rotating translucent statue of David with a pig in place of a face.

Is this a new reissue? Might be wrong but seem to remember it was Calstars or Frogbs looking for an affordable vinyl version of Floral Shoppe?

Olde English Spelling Bee is legit

That's what I thought but they seem to have some serious issues. Otoh if Norman Records has it in stock, which I assume they do, it should be ok?

promising a vaporwave album but it never arriving is v appropriate

sweet - cheers for this

What are the chances that I’m rocking Pages on Spotify while I get a notification that Ramona is steaming on twitch?

f'in love "you need a hero", cheers my friend

I like her music. I just found her Twitch thanks to you, calstars... and she's just playing a video game. Not even talking?

Isn't that what twitch is?

haha I'm not sure. Don't most streamers at least talk? Wondering the appeal here. That could be anybody.

Well half the appeal for me at least is the music selection , it’s like she djs random Midi sh1t wiith other choice cuts

oh cool yeah there is music now. When I first checked, it was only game sound effects

"idgi, she's literally just playing a bunch of '80s yacht rock songs at half speed and calling it vaporwave" vs. "idgi, she's literally just playing a bunch of '90s PC games without any commentary and calling it a livestream"

hahaha

... and now I've made an account to help her out with some Linux distro advice. calstars you really made my evening.

Beats watching Netflix for sure

let's not go crazy

Floral Shoppe made PitchforK
https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/macintosh-plus-floral-shoppe/

“It’s your move” really is an amazing song, slowed down or not

She’s been talking and been on cam for the last week or so (getting comfortable is how I think she put it) , been going through the k-mart tapes and isolating the good bits

Do you have a link to her twitch?

omg

I'd completely forgotten that she released an album under the moniker "Peace Forever Eternal" 2 years ago, I'm listening now and uh...what the hell

Love the volume adjustments on dis 1:

Seed & Synthetic Earth so damn good, it's like an imaginary JRPG soundtrack combined with QVC disco music. its the album she's been hinting at since the very beginning. unfortunately I think it got buried somewhat because she was releasing so much. I bet if she dropped it right now it would've gotten way more attention.

Unfortunately I like her plunderphonics stuff much more than her originals

Big stuff happening tomorrow.

Yup yup!

I wrote another Macintosh Plus album.

I mean, who the fuck can say, I guess. But I've spent a long long time now trying to figure out how to leave a legacy that's worth more than fucking Floral Shoppe and I've decided the best route is to make the most opposite sounding music possible. So.

hahah yep this does not sound like Floral Shoppe

The era of anonymity in vwave is really at an end, besides vek I can cite hke and internet club and some of the acts at electronicon as other examples who have really come forward this year on social media or in live performances in a way they hadn’t before. Telepath remains a notable exception.

album better be titled Return of the Mac

What do we think of this New one?

when she was teasing No Earth she made it sound like it was an opus that combined a bunch of elements from her recent works, and that's pretty much what this is. my speculation is that the muted response to Seed & Synthetic Earth made her think twice about putting out something major under the Vektroid label and since she knows that anything released under the "Macintosh Plus" name would get way more engagement I think that this new album might be what No Earth was supposed to be. for what its worth the single's already got about as many ratings on RYM as the last album did. I think it's pretty good but I'll definitely need a few more listens...its by far the most scatterbrained 12 minute single I've heard this year

guess I was half rright

FULL ALBUM LATER IN 2020. SISTER PROJECT TO NO EARTH. BOTH ALBUMS 2CDS EACH, MAYBE 3CD. DEPENDS HOW HARD I CONSOLIDATE.

shes doing a livestream working in Abelton, showing off new tracks and such, pretty interesting stuff

I've heard two new tracks, they're very much in the S&SE vein

Back on stream working on an ambient album ?!
