What's the best Vaporwave album?
Pic related is my choice
>>65405894
and you would be wrong
Eccojams is easily my favourite. The best vaporwave was created before vaporwave was a thing
>>65405963
Agreed
this or mediafired - pathway through whatever or disconscious - hologram plaza if that counts
>>65405894
>not choosing Floral Shoppe
are you even partician?
>>65405963
Ouch...keep that edge in check, would you?
Saint Pepsi - Hit Vibes if that counts. Future funk is a vaporwave subgenre, right?
Blank Banshee 0 is fucking genius, imo.
>>65405963
I agree with you, although it's certainly not because it was the first.
plebs
>>65410474
Telepath does some dope stuff, gets my vote.
>>65405894
You posted it, OP
Luxury elite - sincerely

>>65412119
correct
>>65412437
wtf... please
how can you name that? there plenty of better albums out there
>>65412460
It's the most VW-representing album I've heard... But I guess there are others.
>captcha: select all images with palm trees
>>65412510

At least name a good album.
>>65412514
Dream Sequins is better
(but not the best)
>>65412614
What's your best then?
Pic related is another worthy candidate for me.
>>65406107
This senpai
Hard mode: only post albums released last year onwards
>>65412647
I'll Try Living Like This. It's innovative and traditional, cheerful and tragic, explicit and metaphoric at the same time, perfect from beginning to end. It tells a story and describes a landscape, it makes you cry. It's art in its purest (and modern) form.
>>65412764
True, but it's become a meme album at this point.
I was looking for something less known...
>>65410424
It's definitely creative, but definitely not genius.
Definitely better than 1 though, don't know why everyone likes 1 better
>>65412738
Hey what's this called? Or is there a bandcamp link?
2814, eccojams, and pic related are the only ones I genuinely enjoy
>>65412910
>don't know why everyone likes 1 better
Nobody does though. Plus 0 is the most likely to be mentioned by normal people and newfags.

Golden Living Room - Post-Internet

I'm usually not a fan of GLR but this album is pretty good. I heard it's his last VW release.

A bit long, but his most creative work so far. Here:
https://dreamcatalogue.bandcamp.com/album/--25
He has a side project called Virtual Dream Plaza, where he releases single 31 minute tracks at a time with a different cover art for each. You might like that too.

Mana Pool
>>65405894
Agreed OP
>>65413377
yeah, I listened to Virtual Dream Plaza's self-titled album (仮想夢プラザ) today, and I bought the 夢愛 cassette along with telepath's あなたの愛 and 永遠の愛 double cassette yesterday. I liked 仮想夢プラザ quite a bit.
>>65405894
Yours is the best, except to the extent that i dont even think it's vaporwave.
It sounds completely different from any vaporwave album ive ever heard.
So if it actually is vaporwave, it's the best.
>>65410474
Telepath can literally do no wrong
>>65413469
>one track
>compared to the phenomenal album in its entirety that was Atmospheres 1 or 2
Why did I expect any better from a tripfag?
>>65414478
Glad you liked it anon!
>>65414719
Do you have any recommendations from the 仮想夢プラザ side-project?
>>65414719
are you assuming I don't like them all (because I do)
and fuck you for introducing me to dream plaza because it's real nice! Thanks
>>65414806
I haven't heard them all yet since they're 16 fucking hours total and counting, but my latest favorite is 爱的吸收 (Absorption), an ambient track in the truest sense.
It got featured on Nirvana Port:
http://nirvanaport.bandcamp.com/album/--2
Also friendly reminder that the first 31 singles are compiled as an album here:
https://telepathtelepath.bandcamp.com/album/--32
This should be useful for anyone willing to play them successively on BandCamp without downloading each one.
Telepath is still making tracks for VDP and just released 3 new ones last week, so keep an eye out for more.
>>65414862
You're welcome, tripfag.
I think Atmospheres 3 and 4 are lazy, and nowhere near the quality of 1 & 2.
This beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Unrelated, but would an anon mind telling me the album this is on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaXyjl7NkJg
>>65415061
>This beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Then what is pic related??
I thought I'd let everyone here know that I'm building a new vaporwave essentials guide as a successor to the Ultra one, having only releases from late 2014 onwards.
If you'd like to know more info, suggest albums, or see what I've gathered so far, read this thread:
http://virtual-plaza.net/index.php?threads/introducing-the-vaporwave-essentials-guide-nu-edition.7/
>>65415027
Thank you for the recommendation anon <3 I love Atmospheres 1 & 2 too.

Future funk is the worst genre of music of all time
>>65415679
Well at least it's not rap
>>65415747
Rap, future funk and metal. Like tortures.
>>65405894
This album isn't vaporwave you idiots.
Also pic related is the best vaporwave album, Skeleton by 骨架的.
>>65415892
2814 is Hypnagogic vaporwave, the subgenre of vw that is heavily influenced by ambient.
Also
>skeleton
>not holograms
>>65415892
The album identifies as vaporwave you fucking bigot
>>65415966
>>65405894
>>65410474
>>65412510
one of these or Replica, if you caount that as vaporwave
>>65410505
>>65414506
Telepath is overrated as fuck.
>>65416342
Replica is plunderphonics
>>65415938
His first album is way better than holograms though, way more interesting and unique, holograms is just a typical vaporwave album.
>>65405894
this album is what changed my opinion on vaporwave
so I agree
you guys are lame
>>65416474
This album is garbage tho
>>65416417
>plunderphonics
Pretty sure plunderphonics is a production style and not a genre. As in, it's used in several genres and not a genre of itself.
>>65416432
>way better
Only if you want something so experimental to the point of having no melody whatsoever.
pic related is one of his most underrated albums.
>>65416474
>I miss you when you're gone
>they say
>Angel please don't go
>>65405951
this is correct
I'm still waiting for an album that pulls from bomberman hero, seriously listen to this shit it's absolutely perfect for vaporwave https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQ-DJd-57Lo
(it also helps that it's a legitimately good soundtrack on its own too)
>>65412119
mhmmm
this my fav
>>65412908
>True, but it's become a meme album at this point.
>I was looking for something less known...
Please don't let the internet influence your opinions this much.
>>65416921
They don't, really.
I like the album a lot but I don't get all the ongoing praise for it, because if you listen to it several times it gets pretty stale.
To me, it was a "current favorite" the first time I listened to it. But it grew boring and now I want something newer to fill the position.
You get me?
Btw its remix edition (pic related) is shit aside from like 2 or 3 tracks.
I'm confident that by the end of this thread /mu/ will come to a 100% consensus for the greatest vaporwave album.
Asking /mu/ to name the greatest shoegaze album however would be fruitless as there would be endless bickering.
>>65417150
>I'm confident that by the end of this thread /mu/ will come to a 100% consensus for the greatest vaporwave album.
>>65417083
I getchu.
Speaking of dds.wmv, anybody heard the new album they put out?
https://orangemilkrecords.bandcamp.com/album/classroom-sexxtape
DMT Tapes FL makes some of the best mixed artist albums there are.
Forgot the pic of the DMT Tapes FL Vol 9 album.
>>65416558
>Pretty sure plunderphonics is a production style and not a genre.
The term "plunderphonics" was invented by John Oswald, one of the most experimental composers of the last century, and if you listen to any of his albums you can say it's a unique genre, because nothing else sounds like that. The problem is that "plunderphonics" used to describe vaporwave is highly inappropriate. It's neither a style nor a subgenre.
>>65417607
I heard DMT was shit though?
>>65416921
Now one can not even agree anymore
>>65417629
Yes, don't even try
>>65405894
>>65406107
>>65407963
Reddit go home.
Nothing will ever beat towering masterpiece of the genre.
>>65416474
>>65412514
>>65415892
Also very good choices
>>65417727
Funny because every "I'm new to vaporwave recommend me some albums!" thread on reddit always has Floral Shoppe, Eccojams, and Skeleton in the top comments.
You're the plebbit here.
>>65417237
Damn it bandcamp, why didn't I know about this??
Thanks for sharing.
>>65417882
Because it's obviously a shit album that they felt would not fit on Dream Catalogue nor dds.wmv's personal BandCamp... So they threw it on Orange Milk, the only label that agreed because it needed the publicity.
>>65417858
A true patrician knows that good music is good regardless of popularity. You, whom still cannot tell the difference between a timeless masterpiece that is rightly popular, and a trend hopping transient flavor of the month buzz album still have far to go in your arduous quest to achieve patriciandom.
>>65417953
4 tracks in and I think it's p good ._.
Definitely not as textured, layered, or overwhelmingly stimulating as I'll Try Living Like This but is it really that bad? That's a shame tho, let's hope they're not a one-hit-wonder.
>>65417943
Fuck off shill
>>65417943
at least shill bb1
>>65417943
After many many listens I really think 1 is better than 0. 0 is catchier but given time the structuring, variety, and clear improvement in craft makes 1 the better album for me.
>>65418178
>they
Did you know that only one person worked on this album?
While dds.wmv are most known for being a duo (James Webster X Tech Honors), most of their albums are actually solo efforts. Only 1 album was made by both members, and another 2 albums were by James X Keith Rankin (aka Giant Claw, who's not even in the group). One of the latter 2 albums was ITLLT...
See pic related, posted by James himself.
>one-hit-wonder
Here's their BandCamp:
http://deathsdynamicshroud.bandcamp.com/
Listen to the rest of their works and judge for yourself...
>>65418305
1 is very predictable, with the tracks having too many similarities. Also more towards the "generic vaportrap album" side than 0.
>>65418714
>pic related
thank you very much, this is awesome
>>65416558
>Only if you want something so experimental to the point of having no melody whatsoever.

Meh, thinking about it it must have been a metaphor for underage users.

No, it's an insult saying your taste in music is on par with an embryo's.
As for Skeleton, his first album has a unique dark gloomy haunting atmosphere that is rarely heard in vaporwave that his later albums lack.
>>65410474
I'm not gonna say telepath is bad but I just get really board listening to him
>>65405894
i really do enjoy this album
>>65419458
>unique dark gloomy haunting atmosphere
Well you're not wrong, he didn't recreate that feeling in any of his other albums. But that doesn't mean his other albums are shit, no? They're still very good classic vaporwave albums.
Though he may have thought the way you did and deleted most of his albums because of it... The guy's a fucking perfectionist.
Now all that remains on his BandCamp are 3 albums only.

She's a good producer though.

i'm not that much into vaporwave but i love this
>>65421346
vaporwave may be shitty at times but at least it's a somewhat original genre and not 90s hardcore electronica/gabber with some bullshit russian cyberpunk storyline baked in
>>65405894
Even though Vaporwave is kind of a joke genre, I feel like it has an "accidental stroke of genius" feel to it at times.
Like, when they slowed down that Diana Ross song and put it along with Windows 95 imagery, somehow it all "clicked" perfectly, creating a feeling of childhood nostalgia along with a strange feeling of being in a neon Japanese mall and drowning in their mall fountain. This is despite the fact that diana's song was recorded before Win95 even came out. And despite the fact that the song, when it was recordedat its "normal" speed, doesn't seem to have any Jap-like or mystical feel to it. Know what I'm saying?
It's like how The Beatles accidentally sped up the piano in "In My Life", giving it a posh/baroque feel that worked very well (even though that wasn't their intention when they recorded it at the normal speed).
The music also perfectly captures the nostalgia, warmth, and slight eeriness of older technology. You know that ending of 420 with the stuttering music? To me, that excellently captures the feel of a 90s computer powering down or glitching out, and the slight disturbance or uncanny valley we felt as kids, seeing the normal-looking visuals of the DOS game we were playing abruptly freezing up, crashing, and being flipped into a weird-color nightmare.

Put a guitar pedal or whatever to the exit of your computer and apply some overdrive, flanger, eq the highs up to the roof, add some delay , and reverb
Maybe compression too, but basically you are looking for the music to almost lose itself in a resonance shit, like if you were listening to the track while drunk and with a cheap wall in between
