Any obscure vaporwave album recommendations?

[l0nlym1lk]

If you're looking for deep cuts I highly recommend checking 'See You When I Do' by Shoji正治

Sounds like telepath at his poppiest. Its hella fresh

I wouldn't go as far to call these picks "obscure", but in the grand scheme of things, here are some semi-forgotten albums of the past overshadowed by classics:

Good albums I do consider obscure:

New Islands, by VCRNOT

8 track album

Thinking back the only obscure album I remember enjoying a lot off the top of my head was this one. I'll probably post back if I can remember any more.

I definitely recommend all the MUSICAS PARA CHURRASCO playlists by Enseada Espacial. This, ladies and gentleman, is Brazilian Vaporwave. The music is a bit more raw, repetitive and incorporates elements from Bossa Nova and Brazilian Popular Music. It is a pretty different experience when you compare it to traditional vaporwave created by american artists.

Also, the VHS videos and commercials from 80's Brazil is quite something. It is a very niche and uncovered part of Vaporwave I think is worth finding out.

Tbh the album is a weird mix of vaporwave and dark ambient, but it all feels like a complete narrative, as you see for example in the works of the caretaker (Everywhere At The End of Time). It's really atmospheric and it was of my first experiences with genres like vaporwave, still I feel that it has a unique obscure vibe, so there you go:

Not sure how to choose an obscure album from an already obscure micro-genre, but If I am going based on how many people have it in their collections on BC (88) relative to how amazing the album is, I would have to go with Flight Wave by Innerϟpeaker

I absolutely adore this album.

I have heard this one already but thanks for the help anyway. (fun fact!) This album helps me fall asleep when I am having trouble sleeping.

Trippy feels instead of sleepy pills, nice. Tbh I can only sleep with The Caretaker because I am a sociopath (actually it's pretty chill ambient when you relisten to a project) but whatever does it for anyone.

thanks for the albums! <3
as for my opinion on future funk, I like it but only in small doses as it can sound very similar to each other. there are only a few future funk albums that I like.

Not sure how obscure this is. During the pandemic I listened to it a lot while biking around nyc.
