This is exactly how real songs play in my head sometimes. One part gets stuck and loops endlessly. Sometimes for days. I think this is what makes something so heavily edited feel *more* natural. It’s like falling asleep with the radio between 2 stations, barely coming through, and then wakeup with odd repeating hooks echoing in your head that you can’t describe or explain.

[@devinanthony5773]

It's 12:02 AM on a summer night in 2004. You're 12 years old laying in bed with the radio under the covers. The outro music for "Love Line with Dr. Drew" is just wrapping up. The morning block on the local pop station quietly pushes the catchiest b-sides of last week into your half dreaming ears. As you fumble in the dark for the dial, your eyelids begin to slip...

[@atortarr]

I have a friend who said that this album is very evocative of what it felt like during her episodes of dissociating. Flashes of familiarity bubbling up between "brain static".

[@johannamogaard6068]

Very accurate

[@johannamogaard6068]

It's like that state between sleep and wake where its like your head is chasing its own tail. Unprocessed phrases, melodies, conversations and patterns left "laying around" in your head start morphing together and looping to make something. Though how extremely bizarre it is, it makes sense then and there. And when you wake up, echoes of these loops keep going for some time, allowing for you to realise just how absurd and it all is.

This album is like when you decide to look at a rock very closely. Whole constellations inside something so small

[@spingleboygle]

a rock is an entire universe shaped and molded and formed over the course of billions of years, possibly untouched since the beginning of time. millions of tiny little stars represented as specks, dents in the universe, cracks in the galaxies. you could stare very closely at a rock for hours, days weeks, years, decades, centuries, until the end of time, and only see 0.01% of the universe it holds. "it looks so small," the one who disturbs its sleep says. "it is so tiny, so insignificant." the rock thinks the same of the one who examines it.

Christine McVie, died November 30th, 2022, is the singer you can hear on A2/Angel. The original sample is from Fleetwood Mac, a song called "Only Over You" on the band's 1982 album Mirage. Christine wrote the song that was sampled on Eccojams as well, she wrote it for Dennis Wilson who was her boyfriend at the time (Dennis Wilson was a co-founder and drummer for The Beach Boys). Note that the sample of Gypsy thats featured on B2 is not from McVie, that is Stevie Nicks who wrote and sung that song.

my brother is severely autistic. he would spend a majority of his time watching movies from his childhood, namely the musical scores he really enjoyed. growing up in the room next to him, I would hear him listening the same 5 to 10 second part for hours on end, trying to relive the joy and wonder it once brought him. it always deeply saddened me and listening to this is a painful experience, but a powerful one. all of us in some way hold our endearing experiences tight, whether that is replaying the same videogame, rewatching our favorite tv show, hanging out with the same friends, re-creating our favorite childhood meals. but all that rewinding comes at a cost of diminishing the memory. morphing it into a cold, meaningless echo

[@specificsoup]

I do resonate with your comment and I get what you're saying.... however I would say that you can't know for sure whether an Autistic person who replays the same clip of a movie or song or show, etc, is "trying to relive the joy it once gave them." You make it sound so sad and I caution against reading tragedy into every Autistic habit. They may simply be reliving that joy. Or trying to calm themselves down with something that is predictable. (I'm Autistic). I often watch entire movies many times over, but there are certain scenes or moments that are the "repeat over and over again" moments for me that I get the most out of. If I'm not enjoying them as much as before it's usually that I've temporarily moved on to a different interest or perhaps a sign that I'm dealing with depression.

[@swift1y]

Maybe rewinding back to those old memories is a good thing. For me, things from my past tend to feel like a cold and distant echo much like you described. When I revisit those old memories and experiences, I'm filled with warmth and happiness. You experience the nostalgia as new person with new experiences and can relive parts of your past through a new lens.

Apt description.

This album gives that feeling of when you say everything is ok, being completely optimistic but then you hear that voice in the back of your head saying “is it really?”.

This entire album is made using the DJfx looper on a Roland 404SX sampler... I love it.

[@bruh......2005]

Easily one of the best albums of the decade. I haven't discovered yet an album that has made as emotionally attached to as Eccojams.

"Chuck Person's Eccojams, Vol. 1" is one of the most complex and contextually difficult albums I have ever heard. "Eccojams" is an inciteful experience that both detracts and sparks the curiosity of vaporwave listeners, and often times more than not no one has started their vaporwave experience on this album, so it is different yet original in content as it marks the birth of the vaporwave genre. This album has helped me through so many creative stalls and ruts, that everytime I've run out of ideas for musical content or I find myself bored with creating musical content, I listen to this album and I find myself sparked with new ideas. "Eccojams" is a messy yet effortful, unattracting yet exciting creative plaza of audio effects and samples, with every track being unique in sample use, effects, pitch, length, and so much more. I believe, that I can say without a doubt that... This album is the greatest album ever made. There is no album that can top "Chuck Person's Eccojams, Vol. 1". 10/10.

Absolutely one of the most important albums released in the past twenty years, Chuck Person's Eccojams will also most likely stand as one of the defining artworks of the early 21st century. Daniel Lopatin works with sounds the way a modernist painter works with paint, unafraid to either distort a sample almost beyond recognition or to focus in on a single repetition in order to bring out the full strengths and textures of the found-audio medium, yet with a self-awareness that is unmistakably characteristic of his own era. With the last quarter of the twentieth century as his sonic source material, Lopatin brings the listener into a series of timeless moments or emotions that manifest in a lifelike way like a photograph or a memory. Via the artifice applied to the samples, the accuracy of these experiences are called into question but their authenticity is left untouched. This leaves the listener with only the experience of having lived a moment that has faded into the past beyond one's ability to recall it visually. Without the political or stylistic conceits of Vaporwave, a genre which the album would help to inspire, Lopatin pulls together a sampler of postmodern anomie- loss of, loneliness without, and longing for things one has never had or at least never truly possessed. In the most practical sense, this something could be information-age musical consumption as it is mediated through a damaged medium such as prodigious distortion and compression, careless sampling, or a skipping CD. On a deeper level, however, the palette of samples themselves suggest an inability to grasp and hold onto something more profound- a relationship, a moment in time, or a reason for being. Strangely anthemic, the lyrics call out from behind a molasses drip slowdown or a cloud of noisy distortion or all of the above, like a sailor overboard in a choppy, foggy sea: "Hurry, boy, she's waiting there for you...", "Be real, it doesn't matter anyway...", "Looks like another Love TKO...", "One more year and then we'll be happy...", and of course, "There's nobody here..." While it's easy to take the first volume of Eccojams in the traditional mode of Vaporwave capitalist cultural critique because of their apparent lack of context, it's in the gestalt creation of a new context where the Eccojams become apparent as an intensely personal and introspective work. Truly, Chuck Person's Eccojams is a masterpiece of the postmodern era.

even more mindblowing that it totally sucked

[@liquidstereomusic]

That Fleetwood Mac song hits completely differently now

[@InBananaBag]

I was hearing the radio and when it start to play Gypsy I felt the exact way

[@TROPICADIA]

I never really thought this music really had any meaning behind it. It's just surprisingly sublime background music. It's more upbeat than something like sludge, but it's also very erratic and keeps you guessing despite only being loops. I think the sound quality of it being a tape is what really sets it apart.

[@tracksuitjim]

really? just how it uses super kitchsy effects and samples from contemporary music (suchas the 80's) and how it focuses so heavily on fostering nostalgia and whatever. idunno how other people think it criticizes capitalism etc (idunno if it does or doesnt) thats just what i can think of off the bat. its kind of like takin modern society and twisting it out of shape and rearranging it to juxtapose its various characteristics. idunno tho lol im just thinkin outloud now cause its a pretty interesting thing to think about. i feel like vaporwave is more about the solitary, empty, surreal, cosmic melodrama paired with the catchy to the point of being gaudy style of a lot of it. also the whole sound-collage aspect. or thats what draws me in, at least. its very over-the-top and eccentric music.

[@NIR111Class]

It's funny thinking that if people were curious about the sources of the samples in Eccojams they could be introducing themselves to different genres of music from all directions. It covers a massive scope when you consider the samples range from Fleetwood Mac, to Electric Light Orchestra to 2pac. Have to say I appreciate the use of Chris de Burgh and Toto's tracks as well in this album.

well there are several versions but I'd check out the remastered release from 2016, or the "asterite edition". I believe both can be found on KZbin.

I barely found out about vaporwave this year during the summer and just happened to stumble upon it did a lot of research a bond and I was like damn I grew up around this whole aesthetic genre without my knowing that I lived and breathed vaporwave it's giving me a whole new purpose in life

[@altrntrlty2079]

first time I was hearing this album I was like, "WTF is this?!" now I'm listening it again after several months listening to vaporwave.... mind. blown.

[@danielhn93]

Fast forward a year to now at my comment and I'm thinking the same thing. First time listening to this. In my mind repeats the words "Wut in tarnation?"

[@TROPICADIA]

The artist behind this is Daniel Lopatin, more famously known under their other artist name "Oneohtrix Point Never". I didn't find vaporwave very interesting as a genre beyond "Flower Shoppe" and this album. If you're reading this and felt the same way: Listen to Oneohtrix Point Never. Life-changing music. Rifts - My favorite compilation album in the whole world. A whole journey of ambient sound across several years. Original 2-disc tracklist is a must imo Returnal - A really interesting album experience. Warning: this album starts very loudly Replica - A short but fun sound experience. R Plus Seven - A complete change in sound yet again! Channel Pressure - FANTASTIC pop album. As "Ford & Lopatin" And it goes on from there. OPN is a trailblazer and will be a musician for the history books. If you are craving something entirely different but with similar atmosphere, listen to Boards of Canada. Enjoy!

[@pkwafflest]

This album sounds simultaneously serene and haunting and I have no concrete footing on why it does. I love it.

[@pedrokoury1352]

Doesn't need to be a "party", but a gathering of some sort. Also, Vaporwave has many "subgenres", ranging from melting slow to glitchy dancing (if not dancing, then at least grooving).

[@Juanfcilantro]

Xälos Jüryin Vërdah Now that makes more sense. Gathering and party are very different terms, but sure, a vaporwave "gathering" could work.

it sounds to me like all the little effects and distortions that are coming feel like they are being controlled by a human hand. Just testing and fidgeting with his music. In fact, i used to do this often when i was younger and first started delving into music, I had a version of deckadance on my computer and loved using the eq filters, repeating sections, as if i was a DJ. But it tended to be momentary little decisions and when i'd get bored with one sound i moved on to another. Just exploring. Maybe that's why it sounds so interesting

[@DeepFrigidWinter]

[@obsession5534]

Deep Frigid Winter best song on the album by far

[@josefstark]

Deep Frigid Winter I always hear "be safe..." at the end there, although I very well know the original lyrics. It adds to the subtle sadness I think.
