This is the ideal Vaporwave album, you may not like it, but this is what peak Vaporwave sounds like.

[@dbspaceoditty]

where do you rank windows96

[@AmbientShrub]

I see D.D.S. as being "at the top" idk, theres at least a dozen top notch vaporwave albums I can think of. Apples to oranges.

[@enostheforthewin6191]

Absolutely agree. This is good vaporwave, nowadays everyone relies too heavily on samples.

[@xXcangjieXx]

@@enostheforthewin6191 Well it was even more so back in the day. On Pad Chennington's channel there's an interview with George (Esprit) and he talks about how this was one of the first vaporwave releases that didn't rely too heavily on the samples. (edit: typo)

Creating your own tunes and then sampling them yourself. George Clanton you absolute madman.

This is like the ideal of videogame music from that era. It fits the part, and feels like a track you forgot from that game you played as a kid. You can't remember the name of the game but the tune plays in your head all the time. It's too good to be true. How does no one else remember this game's soundtrack?

This is so fantastic! Seriously why isn't this album regarded as highly as Floral Shoppe!? Man, two thumbs up for Esprit. This album was a journey through a place I could only wish existed. Thanks for the upload! :]

[@ZeranZeran]

By real fans, it will be regarded as batter, because it just is Love Floral Shoppe, but this is a true work of art, and he took the genre to a new level with this

Love this sound. Makes me think of N64 and Dreamcast main menu tunes for old games.

[@LJW1912]

Surely Saturn ones?

[@bobbygnosis]

These tracks are really good. Some are rather short. Though they're all pretty solid. I really liked the second half of the album a lot. Though, the first two tracks are super clean. In all, I think this is a fabulous effort and worthy of a listen.

[@trommnorse]

I love this album so much. Whenever it starts playing the feeling is so intense it kills me.

[@dingolucky]

Listened to this entire album while driving across the state of Pennsylvania a few summers back. Beautiful drive through all of the hills and valleys - takes me back to that

[@_soggypancakes_]

Remembered being at the internet at a young age and was introduced by vaporwave when it was still a niche genre back when aesthetic styles weren’t a trend yet. It’s still a fond memory I cherish close to till this day.

[@sierra715]

This album recently passed the age of 10 years old and it no longer brings the nostalgia of my early childhood but rather the period when it was released. F*ck you esprit. Its too good. It still holds up.

[@queencitycardboard6781]

I found this thru a podcast called Night Clerk Radio, i like it. It's minimalist without sounding same-y throughout the album, which is hard to do, I guess that's on account of all the original soundwork.

[@randomroughneck1030]

this sounds so so fresh yet its 7 years old damn

[@ImpendingRiot83]

I think George, despite very clear 90’s influences and reference points being its foundation, really touched upon a pretty timeless sound. I feel elements of his whole discography under all his aliases have that “freshness” quality. But this one is definitely one I’d rank among his most ageless, it’s a fine, fine wine.

[@__jojo__]

george himself seems to not like this album too much, but i think its one of the most genre-defining works in vaporwave. after virtua.zip was released, a lot of artists began moving away from a plunderphonic production and began making songs consisting of mostly original samples and tunes. all of the songs still have that iconic "vaporwave" soul and nostalgic feeling for that reason. i think george absolutely nailed what he was going for on this album. what george has continuously done for vaporwave and in his evolution/direction as an artist, id argue, wouldn't have been so profound without this collection of tracks MONUMENTAL!!!
