hey flopson! ... could be some point in my personal timeline when i stopped paying attention or my relationship to contemporary music changed? ... before I turned 35 ... which reminds me of that haunting post by Lamp about hipsters and how if you are a hipster and 35+ you have to have serious substance abuse issues
― sarahell
for the record it doesn't _have_ to be serious substance abuse issues, it just has to be something that fucks you up really really bad for a very long period of time.

That's fun, but mostly in the late-90s nostalgia sense— I understand the appeal, obviously, but it's not doing enough that's different to really stand out for me.

New Neggy Gemmy is fun but not on the level of her best stuff (e.g. "Bad Baby," "You Never Knew," "You Weren't There Anymore"... Still have high hopes for the album tho
― J. Sam, Sunday, 5 June 2022 22:18 (one year ago) link
the Vitesse X album is pretty dope, maybe it doesn't quite live up to its best moments (especially the first track which is just a total dream) but I think it does a great job capturing the vibe of a certain era without sounding like a straight throwback
re: Neggy Gemmy, I really do not like the name change but she's on a similar level. a bit darker and edgier perhaps. I'll always love her for sampling Tim & Eric's "Raz" on "No Rum"

speaking of Death's Dynamic Shroud I just started listening to their live album and it's super good. kinda distills everything great about them. been enjoying some of the recent stuff too (Faith in Persona & Transcendence Bot), I think the new one is gonna rule
― frogbs, Tuesday, 7 June 2022 18:46 (one year ago) link
Oh yeah Live From Japan is amazing. Especially track 5, the one that samples/vaporizes Taeko Ohnuki

damn, that's great too. very cool how the live versions of their studio tracks are very different, a lotta vaporwave artists don't do that

surprised to see no discussion of dazegxd on here. his new album vkiss is a blissed-out mix of hyperpop and plugg, with a prevailing aesthetic that borrows a good deal from the best parts of cheesy 90s eurodance

sounding intriguing, will give the album a bash, even if all of that kind of makes it magdalena bay lite
― imago, Friday, 17 June 2022 14:47 (one year ago) link
there's no rock in there, so i'd say it's pretty distinct from mag bay even if they do draw from similar aesthetic inspirations

Yet another hit from DDS. Getting more of a prog vibe from this one.

now that is how you drop a beat
I've been so impressed with these guys lately. not just the new stuff but exploring the back catalogue as well. my local shop had one of their 2014 albums called Virtual Utopia Experience and I found it to be very nice and completely unclassifiable. like total spacey dreamland music but there's a lot of acoustic guitar picking in it?? idk if the people here will dig it but it hit me in such a strange way
anyway, new album is gonna rule and I hope it sells a ton
― frogbs, Thursday, 23 June 2022 14:27 (one year ago) link
my favourite from their back catalogue is heavy black heart which is probably the peak of vaporwave as a genre, though they put out a ridiculous amount of material exclusively via their mixtape club which i haven't kept up with at all
― ufo, Thursday, 23 June 2022 14:33 (one year ago) link
yea it's great and I hope it gets a reissue soon
idk how many people can really keep up with the mixtape stuff but Faith in Persona is particularly good. I mean really it's just Keith Rankin solo and spiritually it should be considered the next Giant Claw album but I think they just do everything through the dds umbrella now. whatever. it's great. Transcendence Bot is also great if you like head-in-the-clouds dds
― frogbs, Thursday, 23 June 2022 14:40 (one year ago) link
faith in persona is one that actually did get a wider release but i need to go back to it because it didn't stick with me at the time
― ufo, Thursday, 23 June 2022 14:41 (one year ago) link
Hm, this doesn't do it for me at all.

basically all the new music i hear these days comes from rym's "featured reviews"
it's kinda weird... maybe worth considering? like i don't want to start another thread on 4chan, i've never been on 4chan and i wouldn't touch it with a pole even if i still had one, but at the same time a lot of rym culture does feed from /mu/. it's a secondary source, a _filter_ for /mu/. and what it filters out of course is a huge chunk of the toxicity. i don't, i guess, i don't _get_ wet leg.
― Kate (rushomancy), Thursday, 21 July 2022 14:24 (one year ago) link
RYM is cool, v much worth using it to discover new music (as I do). Don't go for featured reviews though, go for yearly charts, which you can customise in all sorts of ways
― imago, Thursday, 21 July 2022 15:50 (one year ago) link
Toxicity tends to meet with resistance on RYM
oh when i was in my peak music binge era, circa 2018, i lived off rym's charts and lists. the lists are a great resource - i find an obscure weird album, see what lists it's on, and go see what else is on those lists. i just literally haven't had time for music. there was _one_ message board, too, where people just posted new albums that had very few reviews - that was my go-to thread. the rest of the boards, though, them i didn't click with.
and yeah the mods there, they're good mods, they don't put up with any 4chan shit there. you can still see it in the way that the hyped transfem records... like, folks there don't dig on 100 gecs or tami t or nothing like that. it's all dysphoria gang over there as far as i can tell.
― Kate (rushomancy), Thursday, 21 July 2022 15:57 (one year ago) link
Oh of course, you do all those reviews lol. When nobody else rode for that Dissociatives album, one alone stood to represent
― imago, Thursday, 21 July 2022 16:07 (one year ago) link
most of my rym reviews are from my/rym's shitpost era, one of the things i _really_ love is that they've gone through the effort to unpublish my crappy meme reviews that don't meet their current review standards so that nobody has to see that crap anymore. writing shitty record reviews in the late '00s definitely helped me a lot as far as becoming a better writer.
i do love the dissociatives record, but then again i'm a sucker for anything with mellotron on it :)
― Kate (rushomancy), Thursday, 21 July 2022 16:39 (one year ago) link
Oh I love it too lol, it has some of the greatest cod-psych excess ever recorded. Second and second-last tracks especially never leave my head.
RYM DOES unpublish pretty readily, doesn't it? I've had a few of my own one-liners zapped. The fact they have any standards at all is a great positive, even if they let some fairly dubious stuff survive (probably because people don't care enough to flag it up)
― imago, Thursday, 21 July 2022 16:53 (one year ago) link
lol those are my best reviews
― frogbs, Thursday, 21 July 2022 17:27 (one year ago) link
Always curious about their unpublishing policy. Still far too many joke one-line reviews with +35 likes at the top for my liking :((
