Are there any other legitimately good vaporwave albums?

anything vaporwave albums by ramona xavier, opn or jim ferraro

>>68913513
Memes aside, Floral Shoppe is pretty good

>>68913536
not even the best Vektroid album

>>68913513
Eco Virtual and Blank Banshee (they are the same person)
Also Shader from Sacred Tapestry (Vektroid), kinda sounds like pre-Replica OPN
Another one i like is Computer Death by Infinity Frequencies

>>68914193
you really hit the spot

anything by t e l e p a t h and HKE

>>68913536
no

>>68913513
Look up Skeleton's work.
I can link his discography here later. Imagine Amazing proto vaporware that eventually changed into Infinity Frequencies but good. Poor Homme is the SFTB of vaporware.

>>68913656
I liked the production releases better anyway.

>>68914262
Prism Corp damn autocorrect.

>>68913513

How the fuck is another green world vaporwave?

i'm totally new to that vaporwave thing.
i just heard about this genre while surfing on youtube and finding that simpsonswave playlist. and i really like it.
i'm also a big fan of flamingosis, who also seems to be connected to that whole vaporwave genre.

do you guys got any recommendations for someone who also loves jazzbased lofi hiphop?

Saint Pepsi is really fun and enjoyable. It fills a different niche but imo it's legitimately good

You're wrong.

>>68916279
Source? Genuinely curious as I'm not really a fan of BB but I think Eco Virtual is some of the best to come out of the genre

I honestly really like Eccojams a lot.

I dunno, but everyone said it was the same dude in BB2 hype threads.

>anything vaporwave albums by ramona xavier
his name is ashton simmons actually

>>68913536
Floral Shoppe is one of the worst vapor albums out there. it's only popular because it's a meme, and it's only a meme because it used a diana ross song

>>68913656
vektroid is shit anyway, easily one of the worst vapor artists. no idea why he gets so much dap.

>>68914216
those fuckers aren't even vaporwave, they just make ambient dream music

Blank Banshee 1 and Far Side Virtual are quite good.

I like vaporwave as long it attempts to be more layered and intricate than say Floral Shoppe. Ecco Jams wasnt layered or intricate but that was ok imo because it was orginal and used a simple gimmick to make very effective songs. Stuff like Floral Shoppe is just a blatant copy of Eccojams

>>68914349
Is this supposed be a refrence to that thread last night comparing Another Green World to Far Side Virtual?

what OPN albums are vaporwave?

>>68918320
first, second and fifth song are some of the most solid vaporwave songs ever created and the second half has some great ambient tracks. you only pretend not to like it because its popular.

>>68921925
none
Replica could be argued to be a progression of Eccojams, but it's still so different that it's not vaporwave in the slightest

>>68921893
yes, vektroid is a man named ashton simmons pretending to be a woman named ramona xavier.

>>68913513
Hologram Plaza by Disconsciousness is the only other actually really good album I'd classify as vaporwave
Blank Banshee 0 isn't vaporwave but if you're one of those people who fell for the meme of him being classified as vaporwave listen to that

not even close

>the second half has some great ambient tracks
they can only be considered "great" if you ignore basically all the rest of the ambient music that has ever been made

>you only pretend not to like it because its popular
no, i genuinely do not like it because it's mediocre at best

you on the other hand defend it and pretend to like it because it's popular

>he missed the whole point of vaporwave but is so clueless that he thinks others missed it
vaporwave has a particular aesthetic and telepath/hke have not put forth anything remotely resembling that aesthetic in years

furthermore you're literally retarded if you think vaporwave can be classified as "ambient dream music"

No one ever talks about golf swingers but they're the best vaporwave group out there hands down

>>68922846
What i mean is there is literally no formula to vaporwave. gettting all tied up in genre shit just sucks the fun out of it

>>68922986
there is most definitely a formula to vaporwave

you're retarded desu

Most of the genre names associated with such vibes and sensibilities are actually kind of unintentional red herrings that have nothing to do with the activity of any of the better artists, but then somewhat interestingly, inadvertently spawned little side internet genres of people imitating only a few elements of the passing experiments of more interesting artists.

But the internet genres are interesting maybe in the way internet memes are somewhat interesting, but also really limited and one-dimensional. "Vaporwave" and more other more imitative, limited meme spawns largely dreamed up by message board kids and named inaccurately by some critic just aren't that good. They're just people recreating the formula from a passing idea better artists had before moving on to other ideas.

It's best not to get focused on ideas like 'vaporwave' because it's like, to use an analogy, focusing on - and making casts from - just one footprint left by someone years ago, even as that person is actually very much alive and off doing much more interesting things right now that puts past forways into more perspective, and isn't it more fascinating to see the genuine, living thing rather than just one single footprint they left - among thousands of others, even? I feel this about intellectuals and academics, generally. It's like they can't see the living thing... they're focused on something that is left after because they're incapable of understanding (or being) the living thing. So they look at past marks left after the event, and construct fictional narratives with fictional names and concepts, and so many people only ever know the poor descriptions of fading marks left by something they will never know or experience.

Watch WosX's mini documentary, then check out Dream Catalogue, then slowly getting into BoanD, then start obsessing over HKE and telepath, then completely get lost in their thousands of personal with thousands of releases on thousands of bandcamp pages, then realize that you were just listening to Ambient all the time because actual Vaporwave is fucking garbage that deserves the meme status it got.
