What are some underrated vaporwave albums that deserve more recognition?

[vaporghoul]

I just joined the forums (actually my first time using any forum ever) and I can't really tell if this has been posted to death or not. However I do want to discover a bit more on bandcamp as it's kinda hard to find stuff that I would really recommend to anyone.

One that I've found that seems to be underappreciated by most is Higeki by II nothing II. It carries a feel of sorrow not really explored in vaporwave from what I've seen. Most of II nothing II's music is comprised of really depressing melodies and droning brass samples. Would recommend it if you like more instrumental vaporwave.

this one right?

 

[vaporghoul]

Yes, that's the one. I probably should've linked it in the original post.

Good idea! Vaporwave is highly canonized and we could do with some unknown gems.

My favorite vaporfunk album, and I'm shocked to see no-one added this beast of an album to their collection:

Bakmahn picks up where internet club left off with the best officesoft in town:
https://powerlunch.bandcamp.com/album/downstream-integration

compilations (other than the rightfully celebrated Music Of The Now Age) get overlooked, this is for me the best summer vaporwave album of all time. Especially Occupy Spotify - palm beach depression hits diffently in 2020 with the heat in self-quarantine.

This popped up and got a lot of attention for a hot minute...and then proceeded to fall off of everyones' radar. Damn shame, too, as this is SO beautiful...vapor coupled with the feel of Detroit-style electronic futurism. These guys deserve some props, so here...

Glad somebody actually likes this style of vaporwave. :D(if anyone has a subgenre then I would much appreciate)

CGI Gold⢠è¤å

noun: CGI 1. computer-generated imagery (special visual effects created using computer software).

CGI Gold™ 複合 is top of my list of under-appreciated artists, at least I've never heard anybody else talk about them. Their most recent album is 13 super solid FM synth tunes. I've listened to it so many times. Their previous albums are classic waiting room/hold music midi-fied stuff, very esoteric sounding. If anyone knows anything about this person I would love to know. As far as I know they don't have any social media presence so maybe it's some other artist doing something anonymously or maybe it's just somebody who doesn't have a big internet presence I don't know!

Oh and of course I have to mention Office Pro '99 as well. Excellent straight up smooth jazz over a bed of warm, wispy pads.

I love discussing underrated music! A few months ago I posted a bunch of mini-reviews on Twitter and >reddit for some of my favorite albums, favoring the ones that have been overlooked. It's not all vaporwave - some of it is vapor-adjacent - but you might discover something you enjoy among these fourteen releases.

私はブラッドソフトのアルバムチーズ詰めメガバイトを楽しんでいると言わざるを得ないでしょう。感触は不快でありながら心地よいものです。

Track 6 and 7 aren't so great, but the rest is all top tier classic vapor. "Just Share" especially is the most underrated vaporwave track in my opinion (even if it's just a slowed down version of a K.B. Caps track).

desert sand feels warm at night's "0 : 2 1" has gotten my attention again as of late. Five long, slushy, dreamy slabs of sound.

desert sand feels warm at night keeps popping up in my autoplay while in online school and I'm not complaining as it's incredible.

I could pick anything by endlesswaters but this is my favorite song of theirs, and one of my favorite vaporwave songs:
