This song has nice introduction.. 今日明かされたことによるとおお嘘つきのピウスバチェビシスは2020年に世界中から集まったストーカーシステムを扱うやくざの白人としてチヤホヤされながら私を監視したり遠隔セックスしていたに止まらず、私の家族を殺害するような極度に理不尽で残虐な脅しを行っていたことが判明した。何故所在不明のようにして隠した一家から人的資源をとり続けたことに罪悪感がなかったんでしょう。未だにトランスフォーマーを監視してベネフィットをやるという愚行を行っているね。殺した人達の面白さ頭の良さ可愛さを紹介して回って免罪感情作るか辟易とポピュラリズムと物質主義に持ち込むかで慣れきった世界だよね。ゾンビシステムが侵食が潰した世界中の感情ってあるだろう。。Domestic violence is hard everyday, it's not awaking time, by using medical machine, harmful ray...Mon colocataire veut dire mon nom et mon sexe comme si j'étais une autre personne. Il présente les mêmes caractéristiques que les femmes zombies dans la mesure où il joue le rôle de la victime, plagie les opinions du pouvoir principal et veut les exprimer sans émotion. My roommate liar man likes to say wrongly my name and gender differently. He has the same traits as the zombie women in that he likes to play the victim and plagiarize the opinions of the mainstream and express them emotionlessly. 今日も部屋に侵入して食べ物を醜悪人体改造ツールに変えていったゴミクズゾンビの話を楽しみにしている土底辺ソトブレーン株式会社の身体障害者みたく知能の冴えない人達が芸能人達と絡みたがっている。彼等の唯一の楽しみがそれだ。so stupid mad thief. Her name is TakakoHanda having children, Life Trash brain stalker, also she is killer 39 years old. She killed my family... she was raping me remotely already since 2020when I was still in Japan... このアカウントはヤクザ同居人ピウスバチェビシスが所有し共有しているものであり私は改名経験の無い松野だ。

[@44142726]

Beautiful sunny day here, like the first day of spring. I bought a great used bicycle this morning, rode it along the beach all the way home. Then I get home and find this surprise dropped. What a day. Win96 for life.

[@Samwow]

I'm really in love with The Fool, its so different from everything else and makes me think of old adventure games with that old general midi standard soundfont at the core of the song, it is soooo good!

[@oogalook]

Oh yeah, it's all the olde style adventure games. It's the differentest song on the album, but really sums it up doesn't it? Like, it's got that uncertain, regretful vibe cranked way up, but it was sneaking up on us in all the prior tracks.

[@aaroncrawford771]

There were certain sound cards that had FM synth sounds for MIDI and you could only bend notes as far as a whole tone. I think that's what you're referring to. Modern MIDI "standard soundfont" is just the Roland Sound Canvas, but at least you can bend notes a whole octave. Look up some SC-55 demos. If I'm wrong about what you're talking about, you're in for a pleasant surprise.

[@tjf311]

This track really caught me off guard and put The Fool on the Hill in my head within the first few bars. Super neat take on the inspiration.

[@PoisonelleMisty4311]

But seriously, I recently discovered vaporware music, and let me tell you, it's like waiting for that pizza delivery that never shows up. You're left feeling disappointed, hungry, and questioning all of your life choices. It's the musical equivalent of being stood up on a blind date!

[@rootvalue]

Best W96 album, from now until eternity. Just a full player.

[@user-yj6gg5xh1g]

the 15:32 part of "Fase" is something magical, scenes from my life that haven't happened yet come to mind, with that part being the background sound, like a soundtrack.

[@freitchetsleimwor2406]

My first thoughts were about how amazing the album cover looks, you did an absolutely phenomenal job. And yeah, the music definitely follows. Some of the songs have a really unique style and they're really well made

[@PoisonelleMisty4311]

Avast, ye scallywags! Me be a pirate, sailin' through the misty depths of a musical fog. Me ship be carryin' a mystical cargo of tunes unseen, floatin' on the breezes like ethereal whispers. The melody be like a ghostly specter, hauntin' me senses with its elusiveness. Aye, me heart yearns for that intangible vaporware music, driftin' in and out o' me grasp like a slippery eel. Raise the anchor, me mateys, and let us embark on a journey to capture the enigmatic essence of this incoherent melody!

[@elementallobsterx]

There’s something very special about Windows96's vibe that I completely understand. The name of this project, "Empty Hiding World", mixed with the very instruments and chords used in the songs mesh together in an immaculate way.

[@moka8267]

I've seen a lot of comments praising the twin songs Continuing and Crystalline, but to me it's Fase → Reason Why where it's at. You wouldn't notice there's a transition if you played Fase on its own, but it's seamless with Reason Why, which btw I can't stop whistling that amazing melody with the two synths

[@gambloniusmonk1271]

I agree so much. Its as if starting from Many Years there is this slow 3 song long build up that culminates in Reason Why and it feels like this well paid of burst off energy. Whenever the bassline in Reason Why kicks in, some part of my body has to move.

[@commentarysheep]

A new album for 2022. Nice! Love your music, Gav! Edit: This album, so far, in terms of its soothing sounds and structure, seems to be the album that finally dethrones Enchanted Instrumentals and Whispers for me. Edenic Green Plus was a strong beginning that eased me into the mood. Ascending Red gave me nostalgic vibes about EIW and the memories connected to that album and Many Years seems to be the "travel song" from this album; the song that enhances a bus or car ride from point A to point B and fills you with uplifting, soothing feelings. I love this stuff! This is probably the current peak of what vaporwave as a music genre is capable of.

[@moka8267]

Wow, I'm glad I'm not alone! Enchanted Instrumentals was my entry point to W96 and I was much enchanted by it, then I went to listen to One Hundred Mornings and found it wasn't as appealing. But then this dropped and now I feel the same way about it as I did when I first listened to EIAW

[@PoisonelleMisty4311]

And what's with these artists, anyway? They're like the Houdinis of the music industry. One minute, they're hyping up their next album, teasing us with sneak peeks and snippets, and the next minute, poof! They vanish into thin air, leaving us all scratching our heads.

[@ythandlename]

15:32 - 15:52 I need to find more songs with this groove. This is definitely my favorite album, it's full of passion. Cover art shows the mood of a whole half hour in shifting rhythm. Makes you want to dance on beach at dawn with not a care in the world because it's just you vibing with nothing to hide and enjoying the moment.

[@marywiza]

he's got tweeter and all those things. I also calm myself down with his music, it's a very lovely job

[@PoisonelleMisty4311]

To release an album and establish a successful career as a vaporwave musician. Challenges: 1. Lack of self-confidence in musical abilities. 2. Limited knowledge about the music industry and how to navigate it. 3. Struggling with finding inspiration and maintaining creative momentum. 4. Difficulty in promoting music and gaining a fanbase.

Bro stop doubting yourself, and just run. Don’t set boundaries, BREAK THEM. I’m just saying I hope you take runs without listening to music as well, because uhh shit I just realized I don’t run

[@PoisonelleMisty4311]

But you know, the concept of vaporware music isn't that different from my dating life. It's all about unfulfilled promises and false hope. I've had more ghosting experiences than a haunted house. One minute, we're planning a romantic evening, and the next minute, they vanish from the face of the earth. I'm left wondering if they were a figment of my imagination or if I accidentally entered the Twilight Zone.

[@Hiushisan]

I am a recent fan, so the hype really hit me when I saw the new album drop. This is by far one of his best albums. Reason Why is simply spectacular.
