Honestly, I welcome wholly original vaporwave.

Stuff like ClearSkies and High Fashion Mood Music are in very short supply in the genre.

Sounds like a mediocre dreamcast game soundtrack.

I think it's interesting compositionally, very much following the modern classical styles of Philip Glass and Steve Reich but with a MIDI hyperreal/vaporave aesthetic.

Agreed. In that way he's one of the very few "vaporwave" artists doing stuff in the same vein as Farside Virtual. Beyond the abstract idea and aesthetic, that album seems to really have almost nothing to do with Vaporwave.

here's a folder with a ton of vaporwave I found

http://www.mediafire.com/folder/71e8tvonp857i/VAPORWAVE
>>
>>60392234
is that album even vaporwave though?
>>
>>60395036
future funk is stupid and takes even less effort than vaporwave.
>>
>>60396189
this is straight up plunderphonics and more akin to what /mu/ was calling "mallsoft" two years ago
>>
>>60396413
but vaporwave IS plunderphonics
>>
He made a new album? Cool, I loved Deep Web.
>>
>>60396455
no love deep web
>>
>>60392234

Did he make a vinyl press of this?
>>
>>60396307
Personally I don't think so, it doesn't really fit in with what vaporwave has become, but it certainly takes from the same influences that a lot of vaporwave built from. I'd say the albums closest to this one are Far Side Virtual and R+7, both of which are not strictly vaporwave, but make use of the same imagery.
>>
>>60396425
it is a subgenre of plunderphonics yes, but that doesn't make it plundrphonics, like industrial metal is subgenre of industrial music, but it isn't industrial in the classic sense.
>>
>>60396476
you know, at this point I would almost argue that Far Side Virtual (but not R+7) actually is vaporwave. Though at the time when people first started saying that it wasn't vaporwave, it was true, because at that point vaporwave was simply echojams with a different name. But now it has evolved into something much more similar to things like FSV.

>>
>>60393102
things like tablets and the like show up in vaporwave art pretty often actually, the whole concept of vaporwave is simply a late 80s/early 90s view of the future and tablets actually fit that aesthetic (inb4 some one starts meming) pretty well.

Here you go.
>>
>>60392234
decided to finally give this album a listen and dear lord this is horrible, I feel like I'm getting trolled by listening to it, it's like some one listened to Far Side Virtual and thought "I can do that too" and went ahead and did it without understanding what made FSV interesting. I'm guessing this album is just the current meme troll album.
>>
>>60397097
tyty
>>
>>60397097
wow... half if this feels made up and some of the album placements make no sense, like for instance how is Dream Sequins "broken transmission" and not "late night lo-fi", and because of the over-arching theme wouldn't all of the New Dreams Ltd series of albums be Faux-Utopian?
>>
>>60397138
I can see why the whole MIDI sound module thing could be offputting but underneath those kitschy sounds is a well composed album.
>>
>>60397346
no there isn't
>>
>>60397097
this seems really forced and dumb
>>
>>60397097
>>60397344
oh... and what makes computer dreams vaportrap, it was part of the first wave of vaporwave and if I were to use the retarded made up subgenres of this info graphic I would call it Late Night Lo-Fi, or was there more than one album named computer dreams?
>>
um it ok, still no improvement from deep web but somehow being even more pretentious but still it's laughable how /mu/ treats vaporwave when like me and a handful of other people on here actually listen to albums other than the popular ones that get talked about and floral shoppe
>>
>>60397532
>or was there more than one album named computer dreams?
ah, there is, here is the album I thought it was referring to

>>60397344
>>60397507
Yeah, some of the sub-genre distinctions and album placements on the chart may be odd or arbitrary, but I've still found it a useful chart as a guide for getting into vaporwave (I've just been really getting into the genre for the past few weeks). I wouldn't take the distinctions or album placements too seriously.
>>
>>60397588

yeah nearly every thread I see I end up having to tell people to not come here for vaporwave since they still think it's 2013 lol
>>
>>60397682
that's the problem with current /mu/ and vaporwave though, no one takes it seriously, it's just a "meme genre" to laugh at to you guys, and sadly that mentality is spreading through the internet as a whole thanks to people like that guy that made that stupid "a brief history of vaporwave" video, that frank idiot that Flantagmo is friends with and spams every vaporwave video on youtube with retarded memes, and recently Fantano himself.
>>
>>60397695
really I think it's a lot easier to talk about vaporwave here than it was then, if you made a vaporwave thread in 2013 it would just be spammed out of existence by the "VAPORWAVE IS JUST A MEME" guys... who have sadly won the war...
