floral shoppe turns 10 today, released 09 december 2011:

https://vektroid.bandcamp.com/album/floral-shoppe

add this to the "insanely influential but not very good" thread

indeed - seems pretty clear that the whole thing was done on the fly, with 3 tracks in a row sampling off the same album. idk how it really holds up as an album but I do admit it touches a weird nerve that nobody's really been able to replicate

https://vektroid.bandcamp.com/album/dream-castle

She released this one at almost the same time…

yea once I got into her other stuff (back in 2012) it seemed pretty clear that Floral Shoppe wasn't even one of her five best albums. and she was only like 21 at the time

She’s an inspiration no doubt

seconding the "Faith in Persona" recommendation, wow!

VAPORWAVES NOT DEAD

was vaporwave inspired by mark fisher's notions of hauntology and capitalist realism or did it just grow out of the earlier music fisher was writing about? it seems very much an uncanny revisiting of an earlier moment of capitalism -- a false utopia or missed opportunity

anybody need a vaporwave album cover? just get KPT Bryce going on a 68k Mac in your browser: https://blog.persistent.info/2022/03/blog-post.html

Yeah this guy uses Bryce a lot, has had many cover commissions.

OG Nmesh just dropped this today by coincidence I guess

💾 i put together a little mixtape for your all's aural pleasure, of some of my favorite vaporwave tracks throughout the years - it's a bit of a grab bag, covering a lot of stylistic ground and history - happy friday. ✌🏼

vaporwave-adjacent but not vapor and I don’t know where else to put this. Beautiful album

loving this

Glad you liked it!

I’ve been jamming this one non-stop, has kind of a similar vibe

https://citymanprod.com/album/ost-themes

Chroma reminds me a little bit of Konx-om-Pax, but I like this more.

Visual album for Choma by talented visual artist (and equally adept producer) Hydra

Definitely not vaporwave. I will try to find a new home

really enjoyed christtts latest album

god I am so back and forth on that guy. I will say "hell iii" got me

*puts on Marvin Gaye album* this is the most underrated Marvin Gaye album

calstars did you find a new home for Chroma? I'm starting to check out other stuff on that label. Well okay, I checked out the one release immediately prior to Chroma and immediately got sucked in ...

https://purelifetapes.bandcamp.com/album/data-garden

New home?
Yeah kuroi ame are very good. I like cmd094 solo even more.

Definitely not vaporwave. I will try to find a new home

imago started some new thread but this is probably too pleasant for it.

all those vill41n albums have gorgeous artwork

Ohh right.
Maybe I should start a “vapor adjacent” thread for these kinds of projects that have roots in that scene but are not vaporwave

the title of this thread includes “derivative products” so I think it’s ok

I took that to mean sampled

I support brimstead's vapor chaos initiative

So no one going to E3?

what are you talking about?

presumably Electronicon, I'd go but I don't wanna travel to NYC

Excellent guide to the various guides

https://sunbleach.net/2017/12/02/feature-guide-to-vaporwave-guides/

missing that vaporwave guide from the guy in the Beach Boys (not kidding)

Maybe you mean Mickey dolenz/ the monkees?

uh oh
