vaporwave is starting to sound a lot like late 90s/early 2000s French house. wonder if it's the younger set's idea of nostalgia, which makes me feel a little old.

there's a lot of vaporwave with trap sounds as well (um vektroid hello), it's just sounds, m8

that nmesh album is amazing, as is his fact mix from last year. it definitely helps that he's an older fsol/orb obsessive instead of a 19 year old internet personality.

absolutely adore the first giant claw record (dark web)struggled to get into deep thoughts in the same way :(
― nxd, Friday, 29 January 2016 09:49 (eight years ago) link
deep thoughts sounds the way i imagined all vaporwave sounding before i listened to any of it
i think most if not all of the sounds are from the same palette as the casio i had growing up

i'll invest some more time in it :)

I don't remember being this nostalgic when I was this young.... but maybe I was and have just forgotten?
― Dominique, Friday, 15 April 2016 16:00 (eight years ago) link
is that sampled from something?
― ejemplo (crüt), Friday, 15 April 2016 16:06 (eight years ago) link
seems like it would have to be. apparently, the crowd ambiance is actually field recordings by the producer, but not sure if music is too, or he found it elsewhere. If it was actually music he made and produced, that would actually raise this stuff to something pretty cool, like the bassist stuff posted above, but with ambient filtering

^sounds good!
Been enjoying these, not drone or ambient at all, but almost a disco-edit/filter disco take on vaporwave:
Dan Mason - Miami Virtual 2.0https://dmtrec.bandcamp.com/album/miami-virtual-20
悲しい ANDROID - APARTMENT¶ - With me, Without youhttps://android-apartment.bandcamp.com/album/with-me-without-you
― Dominique, Friday, 6 May 2016 17:40 (eight years ago) link
can't stop playing the bit 1:05 into the first track on Floral Shoppe where the sax solo comes in and just immediately gets all distended and out of tune. it really makes me laugh.
A good vaporwave album is ライフMIDI - VIRTUAL REALITY '97 「PLATINUM EDITION」 - can listen to the whole thing here

It is a bit too on-the-nose but I do like it when these guys try to naturally freak you out rather than distort every third bar or whatever

nice. i must point out that *ahem* it's deaths dynamic shroud.wmv :)
would like to gently rebuke treeship's point that vaporwave "was" rather than "still is". the straight up eccojam phase is over, i guess, but a healthy output of excellent ambient/illbient/ "derivative products" exists. (see dream catalogue, for ex)
and there seems to be an array of (mostly useless) EXTREME eccojams where recordings are slowed to the point where it just sounds like muffled garbage trucks
love vektroid's Sacred Tapestry release, it's a bit of a harbinger to this extreme sound https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3bxhofufFg

http://www.zero-books.net/books/babbling-corpse
In the age of global capitalism, vaporwave celebrates and undermines the electronic ghosts haunting the nostalgia industry. Ours is a time of ghosts in machines, killing meaning and exposing the gaps inherent in the electronic media that pervade our lives. Vaporwave is an infant musical micro-genre that foregrounds the horror of electronic media's ability to appear - as media theorist Jeffrey Sconce terms it - "haunted." Experimental musicians such as INTERNET CLUB and MACINTOSH PLUS manipulate Muzak and commercial music to undermine the commodification of nostalgia in the age of global capitalism while accentuating the uncanny properties of electronic music production. Babbling Corpse reveals vaporwave's many intersections with politics, media theory, and our present fascination with uncanny, co(s)mic horror. The book is aimed at those interested in global capitalism's effect on art, musical raids on mainstream "indie" and popular music, and anyone intrigued by the changing relationship between art and commerce.
