Holy Shit
I thought all his shit sounded like Far Side Virtual
the vast majority of his catalogue sounds nothing like far side virtual
FSV, parts of HS3, and Condopets are literally the only ones that sound like that

So why does FSV have 1500 ratings on RYM when it's shit in comparison to this jesus
>>72989469
Because FSV got swept up in the vaporwave hysteria in 2012 by all the "cool" websites like Wire and TMT
>>72989469
The Wire Album Of The Year 2011
also because it's a seriously clever album and a milestone in the development of vaporwave. way better than skid row which is pretty all-over-the-place conceptually imo
(check out NYC, Hell 3AM)
>>72989469
Because FSV invented vaporwave
Skid Row is superior but it didn't help invent a whole genre

REMEMBER YESTERDAY

yeah there's no way that it's better than his whole discography though.
>>72989697
it got the most attention because it came out during vaporwave craze that's why its most popular not because of quality
james did some shit with mac demarco but mac's retard 15 year old fans weren't into it so we won't get to hear it that could've been his big break

nah he doesn't want a big break. maybe just funding for his projects. used to stalk his fb before he made most of it private. used to post about art how kids and vaporwave kids copying his new age/vaporwave stuff yrs later.
>>72989469
his stuff is challenging art not everybody likes that
met james last week and he was p cool
Didn't he drop something recently? Not the Boston Marathon EP but something else on YT? I saw it on here and was going to listen to it later but I forget what he released it under.
>he will never make music like Nightdolls again
>>72989890
yeah i figure
doesn't seem like the mainstream kinda guy.
people still copy his aesthetic/vaporwave style circa 2011 to this day. they're all hacks.
