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

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!

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/

Nice

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

2814 has a new (old) one out :

calstars, Sunday, 10 September 2017 23:07 (six years ago) link

Sorry, this is their first one. New to me and I got overly excited since I love Birth of a new day so much.

11 gigs of vapor's greatest hits?https://mega.nz/#F!iwABUApY!MaExct8QR-gKyg_2zdt1YA

calstars, Saturday, 16 September 2017 02:21 (six years ago) link

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".

Moodles, Tuesday, 19 September 2017 03:02 (six years ago) link

I prefer the original and ambient stuff over than the detuned 70s and "virtual" subgenres

calstars, Tuesday, 19 September 2017 03:11 (six years ago) link

I generally agree, but that one works in a weird way

4 new compilation records from dream catalogue
all on https://dreamcatalogue.bandcamp.com/

nxd, Friday, 13 October 2017 13:47 (six years ago) link

Yeah, they're called Chaos....I've been working my way through them slowly. Seems to be more a bit more electronica on them on the whole than vwave

calstars, Friday, 13 October 2017 15:30 (six years ago) link

I guess GG Masin talk goes on an ambient thread but this track sounds pretty vapey to me.. except for the trumpet, which really takes me out of it.

calstars, Saturday, 21 October 2017 15:01 (six years ago) link

^ these all rule - don't care about the definitions of genres at all :)

also 4 new releases next friday on orange milk!

couple of cute little eps released in the summer on +100
less than 10 mins long each, but both nice slices of chillness
https://plus100.bandcamp.com/album/sports-ep
finest sports themed vw release since 'us golf 95'?
https://plus100.bandcamp.com/album/illumina-ep
this one reminds me of 'paradise disc' the penultimate track off blank banshee 1

nxd, Monday, 30 October 2017 11:18 (six years ago) link

Those are nice, if somewhat undistinguished, but hey this is vw, so it’s to be expected !

calstars, Monday, 30 October 2017 11:48 (six years ago) link

ha yeah
i like these way more when they're 10 mins long and not a 40 minute album

nxd, Monday, 30 October 2017 11:51 (six years ago) link

this rules, very of the genre
https://soundcpu.bandcamp.com/album/sunset-melody

while this is great too - glitch pop meets video game music (holly herndon vs dk country as u were)
https://noumenalloom.bandcamp.com/album/toiret-status-nyoi-plunger

both have excellent record covers too, for differing reasons

nxd, Friday, 10 November 2017 10:34 (six years ago) link

https://ssurfing.bandcamp.com/track/moonlight

Nice one from ‘12
