Windows96 - Magic Peaks

[@RoseJetExhaust]

Fun fact, due to an error at a certain German vinyl shipping company, I've gotten my vinyl of this a bit early and have already been enjoying it for the past weeks. Another great album by Gabriel, thank you man! *It's the Windows96 sound all the way*

[@altwavee]

i listened the album literally at the midnight from today on spotify, i think its because of the music distributor

[@D3XTRO]

It was released on Bandcamp at 10:30 pm last night in my area I'm on my third listen through and it gets better everytime

[@TimSzabo]

Gavriel* That is awesome that you got it early. Have a great day/night

Yeah, these alternative genres like vaporwave and lo-fi hip-hop use a lot of jazz samples, which is good. I'm a big fan of smooth jazz and jazz noir, too, other than vaporwave and lo-fi hip-hop.

This album has only been out for one year but it feels timeless. I wish I could listen to it for the first time again, but it's still just as good on every replay. It makes me feel like I'm flying above the landscape, or taking a long ass road trip, from the Appalachians to the Rockies and up to the Canadian taiga...

Windows96 continues to surpass all expectations and boundaries of sound, when I first found them in 2017-18 I was like wow, this is pretty original vaporwave, but it is just so much more. Enchanted Instrumentals and Whispers was one of the best albums of 2019 and this is no less impressive. Much Love!

[@pikpik42]

Windows96 achieved an 8bit nintendo 90s sound, so I don't have to play the games, but can experience those compositions and tales over and over. Looking at the impact this vibe had in the last 5 years, I think it should have an spiritual category. I sense a mixture between western platonism and asian daoism. Some sense of clarity and flow.

[@geraldchurchill5576]

I'm being a bit pedantic but I'd say it has a bit more of a 32 bit sound.

I really love this song 33:00 Mytikas

[@aaroncrawford771]

God, this is just... SOOO GOOD. Flows real smooth, tells a grand, epic story, sounds amazing throughout. Love the SquareSoft harp and choir patches, and the implications of the wind-like instrument on Orpheus later showing up in Paraiso (literally paradise) and finally on Mytikas. Speaking of Orpheus, that is definitely where this album gets REALLY good. Like, exceptionally so. I already liked Discovery's clarinet/oboe parts, but Orpheus REALLY blew me away. That... breakdown... definitely gets the whole character across. I know the word "orphan" refers to Orpheus, but I haven't heard the story. Obviously, though, it's a tragedy. This track really shines because it tastefully communicates that level of heartache. It HURTS... just as it should. It's a good pain, because you know it's only fair. Expect is really nice, but more in the rhythm category than anything else. The augmented square is nice, but it's the beat that really sells it. Not Anymore... so clever. The questions asked by the vocals are difficult to make out, but I keep hearing them. Fragments really breaks the whole album down into scattered bits and pieces and just goes completely unexpected places after the opening D major and D sus4 major chords end and the beat drops. Then we have Skysail... the sweet, SWEET Skysail. Love it, love it, LOVE IT! Just... everything about it is so good, I can hardly find the words to describe it. Up next is Neblina, and someone already left an amusing comment about the "robotic underwater cats". Then there's Paraiso. Paradise. Lovely. The vocals are definitely a nice touch, even though I cannot hear any words in them. Geometery is definitely a real pick-me-up, leading me to like the comment about its xylophone part (love the vibraphone as well). Then... Peninsula. That synth-brass fanfare just speaks for itself. The somber, reverent mood of it becomes a celebration of life. Finally, we have Mytikas... most certainly implying a hopeful outlook of some sort, creating almost the same vibe as Looking Forward, which is a brilliant opening track. Keep up the good work, dude!

[@commentarysheep]

I started streaming this on Tidal the MOMENT it got released because I HAD to listen to this as a HUGE fan of Windows 96. The dude doesn't disappoint me, and he still delivers! This sounds like a culmination he learned from Plume Valley, One Hundred Mornings, Enchanted Instrumentals and Whispers (my favourite album EVER) and Glass Prism and refined those soothing sounds. I can LITERALLY hear the leitmotives from those albums, recontextualised into something greater. This album is a solid 10/10, keep up the good work, Gab! I love your music, man! Greetings from Hungary!

[@pedrohqb]

Enchanted Instrumentals does have "Hello Earth", which for me is one of the best.

[@seraph4581]

Your tracks have been backdrops to many moments in my life, both happy and sad. And this album really resonates with the moment I am right now. Thank you.

[@trippingandbrowsing1269]

I really don't understand how Windows96 keeps creating magic over and over again. I'm not sure this completely beats out Enchanted Instrumentals, I'm pretty sure that's Gabriel's Magnum Opus so far, but this album transported me the same as all the others. I want to be on the peak of a mountain, watching the wave of hills change shape and color as the sun rises, with this as the backdrop.

[@basketcaseface813]

Your music always makes my day better, thank you.

[@Inexpressable]

The first track is like a celebration of a return

[@Kano_Productions]

I don’t understand why I like this stuff so much. It’s like vaporwave, but diffrent? It feels not nostalgic, maybe I just don’t know what nostalgia truely is, but more of a comfort. It’s almost like this music embodies how I feel, how I think, how I act, grounded, but still floating.

[@somethingoranother9438]

Listen ok this is the first time I've been able to have the full experience of looking forward to an album release and then actually loving it. Other artists I stumble upon either are inactive or they manage to deviate from their style to fit what sells better RIGHT AS I find them. So this, makes me really happy.
