vaporwave and deriative products

Alex Koenig seems like he'd be a good guy to crack open a cold one with. probably the only vaporwave musician I could say that about.

it just went on for too long is all xp

love nmesh and am okay with him being indulgent and fucked up

this guy's photos put me in a vaporware mood: https://www.flickr.com/photos/megane_wakui/33699769516/in/photostream/

revisited DREAMS 3D by INTERNET CLUB today, totally classic.

Nice

half-year playlist updated

ILM's Rolling Vaporwave Thread 2017 Spotify Playlist

Have folks heard this?

weirdo plunder-pop, kind of post-Econo Jams hypnagogic...or something or other. If Future Funk is on the low stakes end for vaporwave, this is probably on the more ambitious end.

also, re: Hosono, check out that SAYOHIMEBOU I posted above as well, as it's kind of a 21st Century update to Cochin Moon

New Nmesh album is out and it's pretty fuckin wild. It's not even really vaporwave, more like a plunderphonic EDM album (one track is Squarepusher-like drum n bass), but if you dig his other stuff you'll probably like this too. Not even done listening yet and I think it's his best one.

sweet
i'm guessing it's the one up on orange milk? fell behind with them - popped open their bandcamp and there's about 10 records i'd missed
gonna be a good morning

btw thanks for the Sayohimebou rec, listening now and it's quite good. not sure I hear the similarity to Cochin Moon, it just sounds like a pure sugar rush to me

this may be of interest to some of you, apparently there's a legit Floral Shoppe vinyl you can get now:
https://oesbee.bandcamp.com/album/floral-shoppe

always kind of resented how this album overshadowed the rest of Vek's discography but whatever, I still bought one

digging this sayohimebou

vaporwave on vinyl...does not compute

btw those into the Hosono Monad stuff should probably check out Internet Club's Vanishing Vision - the track "Zones" in particular sounds so much like '85 Harry

new deaths dynamic shroud.wmv!

oh wow that is good

full album's out now. sounding incredible so far...maybe even better than I'll Try Living Like This

good spot, listening now and it's sounding brilliant

^ been listening to it on and off for a fortnight now and really love this album
totally enamored with track#2

2814 has a new (old) one out :
http://dreamcatalogue.bandcamp.com/album/2814

Sorry, this is their first one. New to me and I got overly excited since I love Birth of a new day so much.

Last two tracks 🤙🏻

11 gigs of vapor's greatest hits?https://mega.nz/#F!iwABUApY!MaExct8QR-gKyg_2zdt1YA

absolute dynamite
and seemingly the only place to get a few of these :)

The volume of stuff to comb through is fantastic and daunting
Some nice chording on the sacred tapestry track 移住

Thanks for the download link. I now have more vaporware than I'll ever be able to digest. It's all pretty good though. I enjoyed the Nmesh track that samples "Take My Breath Away".

I prefer the original and ambient stuff over than the detuned 70s and "virtual" subgenres

I generally agree, but that one works in a weird way

enjoying this record, https://www.tinymixtapes.com/music-review/newcomer-earth-motivation

On the pop tip

hey this is great
listening to the album now

4 new compilation records from dream catalogue
all on https://dreamcatalogue.bandcamp.com/

Yeah, they're called Chaos....I've been working my way through them slowly. Seems to be more a bit more electronica on them on the whole than vwave

I guess GG Masin talk goes on an ambient thread but this track sounds pretty vapey to me.. except for the trumpet, which really takes me out of it.

https://radiichina.com/vaporwave-lands-in-china-as-cultural-flows-reach-dizzying-speeds/
https://radiichina.com/yin-chinese-vaporwave-sampler/ none of it really vaporwave but interesting i think

^ these all rule - don't care about the definitions of genres at all :)

also 4 new releases next friday on orange milk!

this in particular i dig
https://soundcloud.com/orangemilk/diamond-soul-catcha-whiff

couple of cute little eps released in the summer on +100
less than 10 mins long each, but both nice slices of chillness
https://plus100.bandcamp.com/album/sports-ep
finest sports themed vw release since 'us golf 95'?
https://plus100.bandcamp.com/album/illumina-ep
this one reminds me of 'paradise disc' the penultimate track off blank banshee 1

Those are nice, if somewhat undistinguished, but hey this is vw, so it’s to be expected !

ha yeah
i like these way more when they're 10 mins long and not a 40 minute album

this rules, very of the genre
https://soundcpu.bandcamp.com/album/sunset-melody

while this is great too - glitch pop meets video game music (holly herndon vs dk country as u were)
https://noumenalloom.bandcamp.com/album/toiret-status-nyoi-plunger

both have excellent record covers too, for differing reasons

https://ssurfing.bandcamp.com/track/moonlight

Nice one from ‘12

gorgeous

"lifeline" and "hit the spot" off that albums are classic jams

Enjoying darkpyramid lately

I had no idea it had proliferated quite to this extent
