i think i need to dl the flac if he has a new album out.

>>61163069
this album is like from 2009 man

I don't understand James Ferraro.

What's he doing with his music?

>>61163130
are you talking about this album specifically?

>>61163152

Everything he's ever made, really.

>>61163168
depends on what you mean.

his early lo-fi hypnagogic albums such as the one posted in OP were all Casio improv ambient-drone jams recorded straight to tape. sometimes he would sample his own voice and play it like a keyboard.

far side virtual and everything after are a more modern take on plastic, technology-obsessed lifestyle living etc. def more hi-fi and more pop-oriented.

>>61163168
also his lo-fi hypnagogic albums were supposed to evoke a sense of heavy nostalgia in a half-awake state (hence the genre name of hypnagogic pop).

Any highlights in his discography you recommend, other than Far Side Virtual? Been meaning to get more into him

>>61163253
My personal favorites are Last American Hero (I prefer the 2010 vinyl reissue on Olde English Spelling Bee to the original 2008 tape release, but both are fantastic), Marble Surf, Son of Dracula, Discovery, Clear, Bamboo For Two (an album James did with his former band mate Spencer Clark and a couple other people), Heaven's Gate (which is linked in the OP), iAsia, On Air, Jarvid 9 series, Rerex series, and Hacker Track.

You can just discover so much else of his massive discog from there by browsing YouTube. good luck!

if you liked far side virtual, check out skid row

can't really speak on a ton of his hypnagogic work, sadly.

wish he should still do his lo-fi style but his new stuff is not bad too since(atm was listening to bebetunes again) and silicia gel is just unreal.
