10/10 one of the only good vaporwave albums, next to virtua.zip

dude ugh its so good

Vaporwave is cancer because quality albums such as OP's, Blank Banshee, and others are limited to being part of a shitty meme genre.
I'm glad to hear Saint Pepsi got threatened over using the Pepsi name. He has moved on from the meme. George Clanton (E:SPIRIT) has followed suit by sticking to his name and forgetting his vaporwave persona.
only good vaporwave album. wish there more melodic pianos like in the first track rather than silly sounding beats though

True I happen to love a lot of vaporwave but the genre is just so oversaturated with lazy or excessively pretentious shit
I don't understand why this is referred to as a vaporwave album
It's mostly just ambient, if anything

you know ESPRIT is releasing a new album in November, right?
and chill dude, it makes me sad that people like you can't get into some really great pieces of art just because you can't look past vaporwave as a meme

He's at least distancing from vaporwave, but I'm a hardcore vaporwave fan. I've got cassettes galore, I just hate majority of the producers and fans. They make the entire genre look like they purposely stuff their heads up their asses seeing who can get it farther.

great album desu senpai

Honestly I'm inclined to agree with you.
This is easily one of my top 3 vaporwave albums and even i get sick of the pretentiousness that is Hong Kong Express. and he just kinda represents many of the artists in the scene
>>75138667
it's inspired by the visual aesthetics of vaporwave but it's not actually vaporwave

Leading dreampunk album.
I know HKE personally, and he's past this kind of stuff. But this was his goat for me.

Yeah that's what I was assessing from it.
It just seems like an ambient/downtempo release. There's a pitched down vocal sample every so often on like the 3rd track but other than that I can't find anything tangibly vaporwave about it.
so comfy
third track is the best
what are the vaporwave essentials?

You got the ultra guide http://vaporwaveultra.tumblr.com/post/94077486425/vaporwave-essentials-guide-ultra-edition
Then you got the more recent nu edition. Which I'm on, bonus points if you guess which.

I find it captures the same feelings that regular vaporwave does, maybe more on the melancholic side though. It's not vaporwave because it lacks a lot of sampling, but the fact that it was inspired by it is almost tangible.
how do y'all feel about pic related?
one of my favorite albums of all time. it's my phone lock password and wallpaper. 10/10 neo-tokyo vibes

Quick reminder that Dream Catalog are doing a second pressing of 新しい日の誕生 that hasn't sold out yet.

Does anyone have a copy of "Lonely Streets" by w u s o 命?
I checked out the Vaporwave Mega (https://mega.nz/#F!iwABUApY!MaExct8QR-gKyg_2zdt1YA!y5RwTL5K) but it's not in there and it's not on Rutracker either.
I found a ZIP file for it but it was password protected with no password provided.
