[sodafrog13]

This is the same anon about the vaporwave stuff, and THANK YOU!!!! For over a year now I've been listening to mixtapes (Neon Palm Mall by SPLIFF Radio is the one that actually got me into vaporwave, I love love love it so much) and I really want to thank you for sharing! I've developed a deep love for this genre, but I didn't really know any albums specifically, so I'm glad I found you!

I also just wanted to dip my toe in the water with the previous ask, but if you have any other, I guess "advanced-listener" albums/mixtapes I'd love to hear them. I'm extremely open minded when it comes to music.

And, uh, I wouldn't mind hearing why the albums should be considered mixtapes, that is if you don't mind. I love learning! If you have any vapor wisdoms, I'd be very thankful to hear!

Last thing, I'm so jealous about your holo plaza gear. Congrats on getting the vinyl bro! 😭 Thanks again!!!

re: this ask right here! (ooooooo click for my vaporwave suggestions oooooooooo u wanna click so so bad)

anon u r literally so sweet, i don't think i can convey how excited your asks have made me LOL

admittedly there aren't many more... obscure? recommendations i can make, at least if you were to ask some like hardcore vaporwave fans lol but i can at least recommend a few more artists/albums i enjoy! i also recommend finding some artists you like to see if they collaborate with anyone and seeing if you like their works as well, usually a pretty easy way to find more people you'll like :] additionally, the Vapor Memory channel on yt posts full album streams from various artists; great way to find new stuff if you prefer to find things thru youtube rather than bandcamp! they even host virtual shows sometimes, which i think is awesome

RECOMMENDATIONS (pt 2 electric boogaloo; some of these r classics, some of them not, all of them on bandcamp and youtube except for the mixtapes):

Machines of Loving Grace by Dead The Long Year (this one's admittedly a bit of a wildcard; it's post-vaporwave, a subgenre i'm far less familiar w but as an album it's very dear to me so i had to recommend. it's quite different from most of the other things i've recommended, and far more somber. caretaker-esque? is how i'd describe it, as the caretaker is a direct inspiration for DTLY, but if that piques your interest at all i recommend giving it a go :])

MINIMUM WAGE (VAPORWAVE MIX) by SCRAVECROW/Allec Cortez

10 Hours Of Slushwave (Vaporwave Mix) by illusiDreams

and to answer yr question abt albums vs mixtapes: this stems fr the fact that a lot of vaporwave is based on theft. vaporwave is a VERY sample heavy genre, as i'm sure you're likely aware, and while samples are usually meant to be some manner of open secret, esp in earlier days it was uncommon to openly admit to exactly what yr using, as it was supposed to be like a fun little inside joke between you and your audience as to what you were using and how. fast forward, vaporwave isn't popular per se but it definitely has more eyes on it, and some of those eyes are a little more concerned as to the ethics of such heavy usage of sampling. some argue that a lot of vaporwave songs aren't original songs so much as they're just remixes, which is why they prefer the term mixtape to refer to certain projects rather than albums.

as new subgenres come and go, some artists/albums have caused more of a stir in this regard than others. there are still some people who say saint pepsi (despite his notoriety) doesn't make real vaporwave, whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean, because of how much he (and future funk in general) relies on samples and i know there were some people who were a little miffed about the fact that OSCOB's praise the sun god practically samples an entire album (Future Lounge 03 (2000) by various artists) without actually doing all that much to it (which can sort of be the nature of a lot of barber beats tracks). and for the record, i understand wanting other artists to be credit for their work, but also i think it's a little rich to try and harp about it when vaporwave is all about stealing from other people anyways (though sample-less vaporwave does exit. hakita/heaven pierce her (yes, of ULTRAKILL fame) actually makes sample-less vaporwave music!)

ultimately, i think it's up to the artists themselves what they'd like their work to be called (and some do indeed call their works mixtapes rather than albums) but also. like who cares man LMAO it's all theft and it's all fun, i don't think it rlly matters esp since vaporwave... well it's not exactly a lucrative business, is it? lol, a lot of vaporwave artists actually offer their entire discographies for free/cheap/some sort of name your price, so the only real money they make off their works is probably physical merch or live performances (as is the normal life of a music artist, really, but i digress).

if u wanna learn more abt vaporwave stuff, pad chennington's where you wanna look! he makes a lot of videos about more obscure things in music, especially vaporwave stuff and he's a pretty big deal in vaporwave spaces, relatively speaking.

and thank u!! i paid. way too much money for it LOL but it's ok i love it to death 🩵 i'm still hunting for a reasonably priced copy of it on cassette, as i deeply regret not getting one when +3 came out. but maybe one day!...

I have decided to go a lot further into this for the sake of procrastinating.

(I accidentally reblogged on the wrong profile and have now desire to fix it right now lol)

Here is the list of music I have on my iPod Nano, most of it sourced from my Bandcamp catalog. Because it only has 3.68~GB there are quite of few size based compromises.

Geometric Lullaby

The record label Geometric Lullaby specializes in plunderphonics, vaporwave, and other similar music types. I bought its entire catalog a few years back for 5 dollars, a thing you can do. The catch is that you only get what is out now, and it doesn't update, but you still get like 100 albums to fill your Bandcamp with. A great way to start a non-spotify digital music collection. I wanted more b e g o t t e n 自杀 but alas...

Death's Dynamic Shroud NUWRLD Mixtape Club

I discovered DDS (Death's Dynamic Shroud) through Geometric Lullaby, before they left. The NUWRLD Mixtape Club is a subscription you pay to the band through Bandcamp. You get everything in their catalog, permanently, the subscription is just to keep getting the new monthly Mixtape and to keep supporting the band. The Mixtapes are delineated very differently from their actual album output, and are fully inaccessible outside of this subscription, so I will mark them. Of their whole, very large, catalog, my iPod has:

Before The Killing Spree (.wmv)

Blue Ocean (.wmv)

Darklife

Everything Is Easy! (.wmv)

Faith In Persona

Homestuck

Okay, this section is a little different. I have not finished Homestuck nor listened to Homestuck music much at all. So, I decided to use this as an opportunity, since I own the soundtracks from when I was trying to get into Homestuck, to skim the soundtracks and find a bunch of music to listen to. I would actually like some feedback on what songs I missed that I should add, and what songs I can axe. To that end, here is every song I added.

Vol. 5-6 - Homestuck Anthem | Savior of the Waking World | Welcome to the New Extreme | Crystalanthemums | Skaia (Incipisphere Mix) | Sunslammer | Planet Healer | Ruins (With Strings) | Crystamanthequins | Clockwork Contrivance | Light | Descend | Homestuck | Umbral Ultimatum | MeGaLoVania | Gaia Queen | Crystalanthology | Swing of the Clock | Rhapsody in Green | English | Variations

Vol. 7-8 - Black Rose - Green Sun | At The Price of Oblivion | Terezi Owns | Awakening | Sburban Reversal | Davesprite | Terraform | Homefree | Temporary | Drift into the Sun | Cascade | Black Hole - Green Sun | Power Fantasy | Stellarum Salve | Carne Vale | Red Sucker | Constant Confinement | Constant Conquest

Vol. 9-10 - Crystalmethequins | Trepidation | Ugly Betty | Pumpkin Party in Sea Hitler's Water Apocalypse | Another Jungle | GameGrl (Original 1993 Mix) | A Little Fight Mewsic | Austin, Atlantis | Miasmajesty | Jane Dargason | Before the Beginning and After the End | Cumulating Dreams | Busting Makes Me Feel Good | Everything is Something to Somebody | I'm a Member of the Midnight Crew (Post-Punk Version) | Three in the Morning (Aftermath) | Requited | Princess of Helium | Moonsetter | Battle Against an Unfathomable Enemy | Noirscape | Creata | Of Gods and Witches | Beatup | You Killed My Father (Prepare To Die) | Sound Judgement | Aggrievocation | Stride | Freefall | Moonsweater | Beatdown DX | Solar Voyage | Feel (Alive) | Breeze | Starfall | Ascend | Lilith In Starlight | Thanks for Playing | Renewed Return | Conclude | Oppa Toby Style | Eternity, Served Cold (Canon Edit) | Heir of Grief | Overture (Canon Edit)

Live Bootleg

I have two Philadelphia shows from Nine Inch Nails' 2022 tour in full courtesy of the NINLive archive. I also have Live In Adelaide '19 and Live In Melbourne by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard that I bought a long time ago. These are only partially on my iPod.

In specific, with Live In Adelaide I have left out: Evil Star, Inner Cell, Loyalty and Horology. On Live In Melbourne I have left out Fury, K.G.L.W. (1), Oddlife, Doom City, Ontology, East West Link, All Is Known, Straws In The Wind, Billabong Valley and Sleep Drifter.

Others

I have a selection of highly rated songs by Joy Division. I want to get into them but previously haven't and am using this as an excuse. Specifically: Atrocity Exhibition, Twenty Four Hours, The Eternal and Decades from Closer, Disorder, Day Of the Lords, New Dawn Fades and Shadowplay from Unknown Pleasures, and Digital.

I may update this over time, I may not. Just thought this would be fun to write out, and it was :3

I have put so much Homestuck music on my pink iPod Nano Gen 2 4gb edition. Like, 95 tracks. I don't rly know if I like most of it yet, I never finished Homestuck and have not listened to much. I added stuff based on like 15 second samplings.
