夜明けが訪れる (The Dawn Comes) by t e l e p a t h テレパシー能力者 夜明けが訪れる (The Dawn Comes)by t e l e p a t h テレパシー能力者 I. 運命の縁から跳び立つ私を、白い鳳凰の翼が抱きしめる (The white wings of the phoenix embrace me as I soar from the edge of destiny) The album opens with a nostalgic return to form, embracing the familiar sound of slushwave. Soft, playful keys drift into the start, weaving a delicate melody as gentle guitar esque plucks add harmony, all cradled by a subtle, ambient drone. It's a comforting soundscape...

▣世界から解放され▣ Review- Broken Transition as its most literal

Freed from the new world is my favorite vaporwave album of all time, with not much competition. The first time I listened to it, it was a struggle, I'm not gonna lie, it is kinda difficult to find your footing while first listening to it. It truly is offensive,in the sense that it actually attacks you, the angular chops try to disorient you in a way that is very entertaining on 1st listen. It's the 1st time that i was actively listening to it while perceiving myself listening to it, because...

This album is more Vaporwave than you think! Classic Project 2000 by Team Mekano

Last year I had a very revealing LSD trip that not only stabilized my mental health and gave me understanding about myself, it gave me the sickest album I have ever heard in my life. I have mentioned before that being born a Puertorrican of late Millennial origins is something that heavily influences the content I have created over the past few years. Not many in the community resonated with the fact I have spilled about nostalgia being relative, this specific production completely...

最初のローラーウェーブアルバムの私のレビュー

昨日、最初のローラーウェーブアルバムがリリースされました。どうやらそれはローラー波が実際に主流になる前に、数年前に作成されました。それをアップロードした人は、彼がダンフロスト、表紙の名前だと言います。ローラーウェーブフォーラムがないため、ローラーウェーブは技術的には蒸気波ではありませんが、ここにレビューを投稿しています。 View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LVKtgsG6SI ローラーウェーブのことを最初に聞いたとき、どのように聞こえるかわかりませんでした。ある意味で、それは私が思っていたように聞こえます。しかし、このアルバムにはいくつかの驚きがあります。その短いプレイ時間の間に、それは多くの興味深いアイデアを詰め込むことができます。これらは私が捕まえた参考文献の一部です。いくつかの手がかりは、ダニエルがピン留めしたコメントの中で与えられています。この手紙は本物だと思います。...

I'd love to see the vaporwave side of this site, come back. One of the greatest strengths of vaporwave, is it's ability to immerse you.

spoookypizza's Another Night In Paradise EPisode 1

If there something I have done over the past few years is find gems in the Vaporwave Archive clones and have not ever given any opinions on the things that I have found there. This will end now with this being the first Vaporwave review I have ever written. Only so many albums have been of influence to me since I tend to not listen to EVERYTHING everyone recommends me and this is one of the gems that have had a hold of me since I found it. This is one of many albums that I downloaded enmasse...

Limousine – Bizarre Bazaar Album Review

This was written by gbanas92 from Private suite Mag (Now defunct Vaporwave Magazine) A mallsoft release is always a particularly special treat for certain people in the vaporwave community (this writer included). There's something endlessly charming and enrapturing about spending some time voyeuristically getting a peek into a bustling mall. The downside to this is that the limits of the genre seem to have more or less been reached, making it especially challenging for a mallsoft album to...

Glass Prism by Windows 96 album review

Windows 96 is a Brazilian producer who experiments much with synth, vapor, psychedelic and VGM sounds. Glass Prism is his last album, published in May 2020, let's explore it a little bit more. I Swear : it is the first track of the album and it is extremely synthwave (in the best way as possible). There is a voice, and the whole mood is very chill. The perfect song when you lay in bed before sleeping and you need to think. Underwater : it remembers me of the bubbles in the sea, there are...

Review of the EP "Mythic Emerald EP" by Sonavision Deluxe

This August we've had some new great album releases and it makes me so so happy! One of them is actually an EP, "Mythic Emerald" by Sonavision Deluxe. First things first, who's this artist? Well, this music project comes from the mind of the American producer, composer, graphic artist and songwriter Robert J. Clifford, and his main genres are a fusion of electronica, vaporwave, experimental, and synthwave sonic stylings. SO, speaking of his last work, I would like to start (of course) with...

Review of the song "I Like You But I Just Wanna Dance" by ED.

While doing some binge listening on Spotify, especially on the official vaporwave playlist, I've found this song: I Like You But I Just Wanna Dance by ED. Well, first things first, ED. is the shortened version of Elekric Dreams, and he is a vaporwave and future funk musician from Florida. This is his last single, which came out on August 11, 2021. It is a typical future funk piece with vaporwave influences of course, just like I just wrote, his main genres. It is pretty much a dream-like...

Two days ago, the vaporwave artist Trushinitas released a new single in which he collaborated with Stux.Io and Vaporwavez.

Review of "Quantum Superpositions and Discrete Abstractions" (Premium Deluxe Edition) by Stux.Io & Vaporwavez

Welcome here with a new review! :D The title speaks already for me. Stux.Io is a vaporwave, lo-fi, synthwave and house music artist who's also a guitarist and an electronic music producer who makes both uptempo and downtempo music. This new album, which was released a month ago (June 16, 2021) is a 13 tracks album and it includes many subgenres of vaporwave. This is the artist's first full length album. The first track, 56Kbit/s Magic is a great example of classic vaporwave, with its...

Album Review: "Marina Forever" by Tupperwave

In March 2021, the legendary vaporwave musician Tupperwave has released his album "Marina Forever", the cover was made by the artist Lord Depis: https://twitter.com/lorddepis and it's a beautiful art, in my opinion. So, let's start the review! Blue Sky: this is the first track of the album, and, I would say it is in a traditional vaporwave style. The whole track gives you a warm notalgic feeling and it really makes you feel like a summer day, it's something that you listen and you say "woah...

Liteware by FM Skyline Album Review

This was written by gbanas92 from Private suite Mag (Now defunct Vaporwave Magazine) An FM Skyline release is always a source of excitement. Be it a classic like EarthSim, or last summer's brilliant Advanced Memory Suite, FM Skyline has a tendency to churn out computer-generated gold. So how do you follow up something like that? How far do you keep pushing? What's waiting on the other side? It turns out the answer is but one word: Liteware. The 2nd FM Skyline release to grace vaporwave...

Cape Coral – Karma Cleaning (Album Review)

This was written by mxhdroom from Private suite Mag (Now defunct Vaporwave Magazine) In these uncomfortable days of quarantine, music can be a great escape from the repetition, routine and days that never seem to end. An album can transport you somewhere else, to another time and space, to take your mind off things in the way that only music can. In this gloomy context, Cape Coral's latest album, Karma Cleaning, their third after 2016's 3 Way to Analog VR Emotions and 2017's Slowed...

Visualise – HAWAII94 (Album Review)

This was written by stroligy from Private suite Mag (Now defunct Vaporwave Magazine) For fans familiar with vaporwave-luminaries S U R F I N G, best known for their 2012 cult-release Deep Fantasy, Léroy Honeycomb's HAWAII94 is a familiar face in a glo-fi dreamland. Like Honeycomb's alternate offshoot Neoclone––a project with a mere three tracks, all with an undeniably crisp, cool, grounded sense of style––HAWAII94's latest album Visualise is equally glossy in texture, sultry in tone, and...

Erebus by 香港快運２０８３(Album Review)

This was written by Strawberry Station from Private suite Mag (Now defunct Vaporwave Magazine) Sometimes, less is more. With Erebus, the now long-established香港快運２０８３(HKE 2083) continues their exploration of sonically distinct genres, with great success. This is an album that needs no whistles and bells to be comfortable in its own skin. The plain white album art speaks to its laid-back self-confidence and effortless melding of both classic vapor and vapor-adjacent genres. 香港快運２０８３'s...

JPEG Jamz by FM Skyline Album Review

This was written by gbanas92 from Private suite Mag (Now defunct Vaporwave Magazine) Not so long ago, we were talking about how phenomenal FM Skyline's latest album Litewares was. But here he comes again with yet another release— though it's a bit of an unorthodox one. Rather than being a traditional album, what we have here is a collection of, in FM Skyline's words, "sample experiments." Some have been used during live sets according to the album page, and the whole release definitely...

Edge of Tokyo by Tokyo Rat Album Review

Tokyo Rat is a young Canadian producer born in 1996, the year of the rat, which explains why he chose this very particular name to represent his art.

So, let's start this review. Hero: this is the first track of the album, where there is a very motivational speech at the beginning. The whole song involves...

"What Happens After We Die?" by Neon95 album review

Neon95 released this album at the end of 2020, and I have to say that the whole concept is genial. Talking about death without using a single word, and making understandable every idea in every song. After the Pokèwave albums, this is a very different one so let's explore it: Welcome to the Afterlife: we can hear a voice through a speaker as if we were in some kind of afterlife station or airport, there is a looped melody which is very well hearable even though we always hear the public...

Vaporwave Review: Interactive Affairs by Fan Fiordo

View: https://seikomart.bandcamp.com/album/interactive-affairs Interactive Affairs by Fan Fiordo is a lounge, cybernetic vaporwave album released on July 1st, 2019 by Seikomart. I feel like Fan Fiordo best describes it best here '"The Argentinian's blend of electronic nostalgia may be hard to nail down; it constantly expands and distends following Vaporwave's ironic flare. Strikes swing from moody fog, tunes travel aimlessly, and operatic rawness leads up to adulterated and charming...
