The age of global capitalism approaches its zenith. As the world fades into oblivion, all that remains is fluid ads and ethereal longing. Our senses, liberated from flesh, ascend endless escalators through immaculate synthetic realms - post-human, hyperreal, chemically enhanced, both consumer and consumed in a ceaseless economy of sensory data, pixelated and prized. Enter the Virtual Plaza, where you too will be embraced by its neon glow.

Happy Friday! This whole album is quite excellent.

Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western spiral arm of the galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this, at a distance of roughly ninety million miles, is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet, whose ape descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think vaporwave is a pretty neat idea. This planet has, or had, a problem, which was this. Most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small, green pieces of paper, which is odd, because on the whole, it wasn't the small, green pieces of paper which were unhappy. And so the problem remained, and lots of the people were mean, and most of them were miserable, even the ones who listened to vaporwave. Many were increasingly of the opinion that they'd all made a big mistake coming down from the trees in the first place, and some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no-one should ever have left the oceans. And then one day, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change, a girl, sitting on her own in a small cafe in Rickmansworth suddenly realized what it was that had been going wrong all this time and she finally knew how the world could be made a good and happy place. This time it was right, it would work, and no-one would have to get nailed to anything. Sadly, however, before she could get to a phone to tell anyone, the Earth was unexpectedly demolished to make way for a new hyperspace bypass and so the idea was lost forever.

I found some unheard of classic vaporwave (dreammonastery.bandcamp.com)

I found this artist called "Dream Monastery" that was active from 2014-2015 and seems to have disappeared, never catching much attention. There are two purchasers of their latest album, but none on their other albums. In fact, I only found this artist during a session of searching random words on Bandcamp out of boredom (I searched "Dubai"). This is my favorite album of theirs, called Dream Monastery. It's honestly quite nice, and gives me so many classic vapor vibes. I feel like there is an alternate universe where they really took off and became a big figure in the vaporwave scene like Corp. did.

This one is interesting, as it's sort of not-purchasable. It was delisted a while ago. It also has a fun(?) story:

All songs were written and recorded by Eco Virtual on a laptop and mastered direct to cassette tape in 2010. The original files were lost shortly after leaving only one master tape, which was damaged. This audio recording is a digital conversion of what was left on that tape. All songs were composed for the documentary film 'Wildlife Canada' produced and directed by Eco Virtual.

I enjoyed watching the documentary, it's ~9 minutes. Maybe I even learned something? You can access the album download through archive.org: https://archive.org/details/ECOVIRTUAL-WILDLIFECANADA

Anyway, 'Salt Marsh' is my favorite track from this. Happy Friday, vaporwavers!

Hello Vaporwavians!

As a Vaporwave Enjoyer, I'd like to see some more life in this community! To that end, I'm going to try and make a weekly post sharing my favorite tracks. I encourage you to do the same!

First up, as an ~~computer~~ person who assists others often, it's my theme song: コンピューターマン (Computer░Man) from ꜰᴏʀᴇᴠᴇʀ ᴍɪᴅɴɪɢʜᴛ.

Check it out!
