Dec 16, 2013

premium tracks selected by a fan of all things groovy. with vaporwave it's important to take the music for what it usually is: taking something another person has made and slightly altering it to create magic.

celebrate the music rather than the "musician."

broken links from this years posts should be updated now. possible request list by the end of the year. if a link is broken and you would like it, let me know

Paul Jebanasam - Rites [2013]

one of the best releases of the year for me. a mixture of so many styles that I will need to stop typing before I make a fool of myself.

let's just say it's grim. it's noisy. it's good.

Lucette Bourdin

RIP. An ambient god. Think Roach, think Budd. All her releases are available free in lossy/lossless, full detail, and reviews on archive.org. These are just a few of my favorites.

Dream Safari - Buried Mics [2009]

2009 golden age of drone

Paa Annandalii - Transhumance [2013]

Another project from Robert Thompson (Mohave Triangles, Quartz Safari, REALMS). This guy blows me away with everything he does. Some other-worldly quality. Some of the absolute best music of it's type I've ever heard. Keep a look out for this cassette on his up and coming label, which I expect huge things from.

Quartz Safari - Quartz Safari [2013]

Two good buddies. Incredible warm drones that are more complex than they may first appear.

"Quartz Safari is an experimental ambient collaboration between Robert Thompson (USA) and Sepehr Lemar Nabi (Norway). The duo released their explorative debut tape release “Pineal Origins” (Rotifer Cassettes) in 2011, before their self-titled album was released on the Fadeaway Tapes label in 2013.
