vaporwave deriviative product very early in it's alpha phase : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_cringe pickling. proof of concept no.1 named "low hanging fruits" : "It's Gonna Rain"-esque minimalist musical juxtaposition of beatles hits rip-off by "exotic" bands with the original real deal.

proof of concept no.2 : same recipe as no.1 but applied to ccr bad moon rising and les cyniques ah si j'étais milionnaire.

how is this going to work unless you are from the cultural cringe culture and know which part of that culture to recontextualise?

well yeah, where are you my people?

but seriously, i know this thread is somewhat of a shot in the dark but the innenets is known to be a hub of many cultures . who knows, maybe you are a native french speaker and so am i and here we are communicating in english because it is the thing that is expected of us do in this context.

that said, it is possible that you have lights to shine on what is happening in other cultures than your own: i bet most post-colonial studies was written by straight white guys who speaks english badot dot dot

you know what i am talking about so let's make an exhaustive list right here

ok now im on another trip i rather like that honest cover
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3EC9vgUONE

"honest" ... made me think of em "yéyé" again, that i still don't know that much about; i think they were received a notch above novelty songs, like a therapeutical gesture, most of the pop not knowing english it must have been a nice way to engage with that "collective energy"/ marketing and release it in a way ; in a jokey way or whatever

visualizing gainsbourg ironically unnerving the crowd to get em to toss some cash money on the stage and picking it all up very much unironically because he was poor, and mumbling to himself "so this is what they like ... i'll give em some more, then."

increasingly enjoying these alternate universe projections of my own teenagerhood by people who were babies at the time.

There's so much of this stuff (the music that the thread was originally about, not the other types of derivativeness immediately above) that it's hard to know what's noteworthy, but I like this comp: http://fortune500.bandcamp.com/album/the-music-of-the-now-age

Haha ok, and I guess Eco Virtual, who made this good "album" or whatever: http://ecovirtual.bandcamp.com/ is not the same thing as the Beer on the Rug artist 情報デスクVIRTUAL ???

oops you already mentioned eco virtual! Too much "virtual"

i listened that one 5 or 6 times last nite
http://ailanthusrecordings.bandcamp.com/track/rlyeh

such a jam

i did a little mix with some of my favorite tracks:
MEDIAFIRED - pepsi van
情報デスクVIRTUAL - iMYSTIQUE エジプト航空「EDU」
rad magma - distractions
Mensa Group International - r lyeh
Sacred Tapestry- cosmorama
LATE NIGHT DELIGHT - cant afford
laserdisc visions - third wave
bewilderbeast - human
fortune 500 - self-discovery
http://i.imgur.com/Nxo9COs.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/Nxo9COs.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/Nxo9COs.jpg

actually i am still sort of on the fence about bewilderbeast - human, but with "only" 2 "big" tracks (the opening one +r'lyeh) i felt it needed an extra splash of color.

i dig the cheap perfume of stuff like luxury elite, infinty frequencies, laserdisc visions

Sébastien, I like the deep ambient trash angle you’re working w/ this mix, which curates a smidgeon of modernist avant functionalism to its post-everything pallet - is this where the purists bail f/ a more sternly ironic grade of po-faced plasticism that negates even stoner jouissance? (ambient almost by definition suffused w/ humanist ethos aka choking solemnity, though noize is technically ambient if still insufficiently profane).

feel like Eno, w/ parallel ambient/pop/no-wave tinkering casts a long shadow, which in itself is antithetical to v’wave’s crack binge of f5 hermaneutics, but some shit ambient deluxe from Alec Empire never hurts:

^^^
AE always delivers irony, but his trash traffics heavily in fetishized urban decay authenticity, granted, certainly not enuff Miami Vice keys + prob. at root oppositional to cutthroat chase of perpetually receding cathexis. (proto-v'wave excursion implodes epiphany, carry on).

what

thanks for the comment hellhouse, deep ambient trash is a good description to what i was going for - not a mix that is representative of the genre.

hey , there's this

quite the pop thing.

barf

"deep ambient trash" otm.

i have to admit i was kind of thrilled to find this stuff, such brazen, consummate, overwhelming kitsch. this is what i wanted chillwave to be before it all just turned into indie. i think there's a core of numbness pulling at vaporwave which separates it from more blissful&beautiful [or sinister&dark] ambient or the triumph of far side virtual. there are hints of a subaqueous logic that might tie it all together, but a lot of these guys seem like loop monomaniacs & it's not helping them

my favorite vaporwave is kinda conspiratorial/cryptographic like UVB-76 - like junk arranged w. intention

vaporware's a cool concept I think for its brashness but it's just some shit to listen to for 5 secs really

this is what i wanted chillwave to be before it all just turned into indie

eric copeland's alien in a garbage dump would prob be a good listen if you haven't already?

I mean its also a thing people probably make in five seconds so there's no real loss or anything

yeah, copeland is great

jamming vaporwave while reading tao lin

right now im deep vibing to the vaporwave they're playing.in the pret a manger im sat outside. also dyao otm re tao lin

I think some of Vektroid's releases are completely unaltered muzak tunes, not sampled, not looped, just the original song. I don't have a problem with this though

pretty into vaporwave atm

Tried to explain this to industry types at a she and him show tonight, they thought i was kidding

http://skeptoid.com/episodes/4370
don't know this guy but
"Whether we're pushing our shopping cart through a retail store or sitting at an office desk laboring for a salary, somebody up there wants us to work harder, spend more money, and be a more productive cylinder in the engine of commerce. Might there be a simple way to get people to be more energetic, more creative, more generous; simply by manipulating their environment through something as simple as music? It has certainly been tried, and sold to the world's largest businesses. Commonly called by the name of its most recognizable vendor, muzak has long been the subject of scrutiny, science, and pseudoscience. Today we're going to see what it can do and what it can't."

oh-kay

people who are into vaporware should just like idk listen to madlib

everyone should listen to madlib all the time though so it's not really vape-specific advice

*insert marijuana joke*

all three are good i guess?

madlib's music is more expensive

i make my own vaporwave

i honestly don't see the madlib/vapor wave connection

everyone should listen to madlib all the time though so it's not really vape-specific advice

i really like the eco virtual and macintosh plus albums/mixes

d'eon's "LP" seems to fit in w/ the vwave aesthetic

18 Carat Affair is one of my favorites. I guess the Pure Gold album is like a best-of comp.

So I'm not sure if I even know what vaporwave is, but I feel like the new Mu-ziq album might be vaporwave-y?

it's a bit grand & untrashy but it's not far off

is this vaporwave?

found the latest blank banshee record a bit meh - maybe a bit too idm for me
otoh new dan mason album is sounding great

Dan Mason is about as “vaporwave” as Charli XCX at this point. He uses katakana next to his name tho so…

oooh yeah new Dan Mason is cool, maybe the artwork is leading me but it definitely scratches a very specific itch

think 'vaporwave' as we know it is dead but it has splintered off into a half-dozen subgenres all of which I think are way more interesting than like, Chuck Person and Floral Shoppe

The OG returns

A.S.L. 2050 : SNOW IN WONDERLAND

Taken from Album Yann Tomita “Music For Living Sound” CD-ROM (excerpt /unreleased clip) 1998

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0dgbkFFfDo

Sounds like a new avalanches single, just needs some dumb beat behind it

hahaha ouch!

https://exotapes.bandcamp.com/album/div-s-paradise

Thank you bandcamp daily for alerting me to a second mediafired album I didn’t know existed

https://sunsetgrid.bandcamp.com/track/now-draw-her-and-me-dancing-under-the-stars

https://computer-gaze.bandcamp.com/album/dream-recovery

this is still the best signalwave album

I don't f with signalwave much but telepath's pink album would be my answer: https://dreamcatalogue.bandcamp.com/album/--11
