beautiful

fairly new record from one half of death's dynamic shroud.wmv
https://dreamcatalogue.bandcamp.com/album/flight
"The follow up to 2012’s ‘Honeybee’ on Orange Milk, ‘Flight’ is a return to Webster’s progressive rock past with new ideals he has learned from his explorations in dds.wmv, taking the guitar-based experimentalism of the former and integrating the twisted audio manipulation of the latter to create something unique for the artist. Conceptually, it arrives from a similar place as ‘Honeybee’ too, in that HCMJ uses the music as an outlet for his own internal anxieties."

also new on dream catalogue, & very different to the above, ends with an almost wolfgang voigt esque movement

away from dream - probs belongs on the future funk thread but i guess it goes down here too, hit vibes vibes obvs

imgur doesn't actually serve what it has in the url, that's either a gif or a video depending what platform you view it on

Chocolate-covered gummy bears? Not ruling those lil' guys out. (ulysses), Wednesday, 24 May 2017 20:35 (seven years ago) link

loving this right now, don't know if it's quite the right thread but:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34UutDrXV2Q

it is hiroshi yoshimura-wave

clouds, Monday, 5 June 2017 17:22 (seven years ago) link

Hosono's Coincidental Music is definitely a great example of proto-vapor. One of the cool things about following this scene is watching people discover this stuff organically who definitely wouldn't otherwise. I'm very amused that Pacific is starting to reach a new audience - not his best work, but still.

here's another version of that first track - better, in my opinion

huh, i think i agree!

Mr Mellow by Dang Olsen
https://beerontherug.bandcamp.com/track/mr-mellow

calstars, Monday, 12 June 2017 16:46 (six years ago) link

I read that Washed Out's next record will also be called Mr Mellow and well, could it be an homage?

calstars, Monday, 12 June 2017 16:47 (six years ago) link

On the hyper/breakbeat tip is SAYOHIMEBOU (a la Machine Girl, Vaperror, Foodman)
http://music.businesscasual.biz/album/ok

honestly this stuff isn't really vaporwave, but uses its imagery, retro-futuristic fetish and *some* of the sound sources to make sugar rush IDM. and there's a Kool & the Gang cover!

Dominique, Wednesday, 14 June 2017 20:47 (six years ago) link

new Nmesh album announced, this time on Orange Milk

frogbs, Thursday, 15 June 2017 16:24 (six years ago) link

now with fewer anthony fantano samples

clouds, Friday, 16 June 2017 14:25 (six years ago) link

hah I know most people hated it but the last track on Dream Sequins really cracked me up

frogbs, Friday, 16 June 2017 14:31 (six years ago) link

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.

frogbs, Friday, 16 June 2017 14:31 (six years ago) link

it just went on for too long is all xp

clouds, Friday, 16 June 2017 14:46 (six years ago) link

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/

two weeks pass...

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

https://ailanthusrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/dreams-3d

brimstead, Saturday, 15 July 2017 00:37 (six years ago) link

Nice

calstars, Saturday, 15 July 2017 00:57 (six years ago) link

Have folks heard this?
https://dantemarsajeto.bandcamp.com/album/celebrating-digital-artifacts

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

Dominique, Monday, 24 July 2017 17:21 (six years ago) link

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.

frogbs, Monday, 7 August 2017 02:23 (six years ago) link

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

nxd, Monday, 7 August 2017 08:19 (six years ago) link

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

frogbs, Monday, 7 August 2017 13:43 (six years ago) link

digging this sayohimebou

nxd, Monday, 7 August 2017 14:29 (six years ago) link

vaporwave on vinyl...does not compute

brimstead, Monday, 7 August 2017 18:41 (six years ago) link

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

oh wow that is good

frogbs, Friday, 11 August 2017 18:01 (six years ago) link

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

frogbs, Tuesday, 15 August 2017 13:48 (six years ago) link

good spot, listening now and it's sounding brilliant

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

nxd, Saturday, 16 September 2017 18:26 (six years ago) link

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

calstars, Tuesday, 19 September 2017 02:55 (six years ago) link

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".
