[@real_ryansama]

So, in partical arts... I hear what sounds like Tiger Track from Eureka Seven's OST. [I am NOT claiming you stole it, what I'm saying is that it reminds me of it, which reminds me of how cool Eureka Sevens techno OST is.] And I want to reccomend you check out E7s OSTs if you haven't heard of it, because it sounds right up your ally! Love listening to this while I'm building gunpla. Thanks for the chill vibes!

[@HILTSWALTAI]

Thank you baby

WOW takes me back to the old grade school days when i discovered edm for the first time. Eurodance, trance like, video game tracks. I thought i was a fucking weirdo but here we are... still a fucking weirdo but man am i proud. I honestly cried the nostalgia was insane.

[@Adriel_HD]

Lol im getting emotional but ive only lived for 15 years

[@phennexion]

me too, back when i'd listen to di.fm back in like 2002-2006 lol

When I pulled up these tracks, I almost started crying. I'm so happy he is moving down this path.

Ahh, i'm not the only one!

[@AnbuGreenShinobi]

Yo!!! I saw him at EDC 2018 and didn't realize he was Porter Robinson until just now!!! MIND. BLOWN.

[@zaphyy]

When I was a kid, this genre of music was the shit. I remember wilding out to old trance stuff like and this brings back so many memories

[@SquarJ]

Amen 🙏 he's bringing that shit back that we came up on. But with his own little twist on it 💙

[@jennyx1111]

I agree 🙌🏼

[@MIStreetFails]

The amount of love that went into this...

[@kvrhlkvrhl8143]

Feels like it’s 1999 and I’m in my bedroom listening to a bonkers CD by Hixxy. Great vibes. Love that ghost voices though. That is some other kind of awesomeness.

[@alexd2227]

Porter, we don't deserve you. Keep doing what you're doing, man. Your music changes lives. #Thankful

[@andrewv.9142]

I love the cover. Gives me a serious Final Fantasy vibe...

[@BethanVrsek]

Duuude that's exactly how I feel too! Total Final Fantasy vibes!

[@surfmorworkless]

So true. Even the font of the letters looks FF7 looking. This is so subliminally reminiscent of the Midgar pic with the game title.

[@denisevanausdal3160]

I immediately thought of Final Fantasy too! Also, the first song really made me think of it.

[@plushfriends760]

[@SecondOmega]

As much as I'm upset its not like Worlds, I am far happier knowing Porter is willing to change the whole formula just to make something he wants to, and God did it pay off. This Is top quality

Do you like Nurture?

[@Cosmicsharkattack]

I love coming back to these comments and wonder how these people like smile :D lol

[@000ShadowHedgehog000]

I really appreciate Porter Robinson for bringing back old epic video game vibes.

[@stevenbergey7123]

Nice.. I’m so glad he’s sticking with the ever-integral time and temp of 13-16 minutes at 375 degrees. When artists maintain this structure they’re always left with a buffalo chicken dip that the whole neighborhood can enjoy! Keep it up, Porter!

watched Porter twice this week at holy ship... Is second set was a surprise set were he played the whole virtual-self set. was in heaven for 2 hours!!!!!!!!

[@fernandocordero6294]

I honestly cannot choose one.

[@scarslikereminders]

a.i.ngel would like to have a word with you

[@zekeheling]

That’s actually my least favorite. As a lover of trance and hardcore, Ghost Particles’s deep house influence isn’t something I connect as strongly with.

[@SequenceBreaker64]

Angel Voices on the other hand....

[@scarslikereminders]

Goodness gracious, a.i.ngel is one absolute hell of a journey. Thank you for all the wonderful vibes that you have bestowed upon me, Porter-san.

[@Mawpeh]

I've never gotten so lit and so emotional over music before holy shit

[@liriomusic4391]

Key is by far my favorite, it's so good

[@hypanova]

honestly when this was first released I wasn't too crazy about his new project, but I went back to it a few days ago and holy shit. it took me long enough to realize how amazing this EP is.

[@AlwaysDr3aming]

Why is Porter Robinson making me want to cry? I feel like I understand the messages he's trying to convey through his music.

[@bewbiesrock]

Get to hear this beautiful music live once again, TOMORROW NIGHT! SO READYYYYY

[@RobBonavoglia]

I've listened to this 20 times.

[@lordfarquaad9478]

You need to watch the music videos for the songs on this ep to get the full effect. They're that good.

[@johnp9916]

this early 2000s japanese club vibe is making my weeb heart die and come back like jesus christ

[@abow3125]

John P that means it never came back.

[@this.is.lapc506]

it is called "Eurobeat". Iconic examples: "Night of Fire" (Dream cover) - Max Coveri (Maurizio DeJorio); and "Running in the 90's" - also by Max Coveri

[@CourtesyPhone]

Japanese club vibe? no it's Euro for sure. You just have that idea because a lot of old classics where uploaded with 'anime' pictures back in the day

[@elfpballer6]

I actually thought the same thing lol

[@phennexion]

YEAH!! Reminds me of yoji biomehanika!!

Holy shit, i love porter experimental 👏✨💖

[@Denzo-df9gr]

This music needs to be on many Rhythm games like: Beatmania, DDR, osu, Cytus, Groove Coaster. It's so epic and nostalgic as well! It brings me back to the old ages of playing rhythm games when I was 12. I'm 18 now and I still enjoy playing them! Most of my 18 yr old friends have taste in bad music like rap, pop and meme music.

[@dR0L0b]

In GD as well :)

[@evanssevenelevens2302]

rap, pop, and meme music isn't bad music

[@dR0L0b]

Evan's Seven Eleven's agree :3

[@mintegral1719]

This is old news at this point, but Particle Arts did make it into Beatmania IIDX! They don't often include songs by Western artists, so it's a major compliment to Porter :D

[@brandoncavazos7965]

it feels as though all the old music is coming back, full circle. but this time at better quality and composition

Pramana this sound nothing like eurobeat tho, its more of a neotrance

[@Jay-407]

if people didn’t know this was porter, it would never be as big as it is

[@Meggido]

Jay That's the point : Using his influence to allow bit less spotlighted music to have also some shine :)

[@erroldtumaque3430]

tru but can't undermine his influence he was able to get big off of worlds and that sounds like nothing else

[@ScorpioSilver1111]

Jay wrong.

[@noway7174]

Disagree. I started listening to this a bunch, and then later learned it was porter. Turns out, good musicians make good music.

[@erroldtumaque3430]

no way you can't deny that the majority of virtual self fans are porter fans though. Most discovered it from porters fb, insta, or KZbin. If it was not affiliated at all then it wouldn't have the traction that it has now

[@canttReid]

Song 2&3 🤯

[@xXE4GLEyEXx]

I freaking love Eon break but the "outro" should not be played. I know the ending is sudden, but that kinda gives it a nice unwind effect. The speedcore cuts and a moment of silent is really good there (Like Gareth Emery did in his New York set). But big old Kudos to who mixed this set with Eon Break outro having a mash, that actually sounds good.

[@ichuckpieatcars]

The first track sounds like something you'd find on Newgrounds' audio portal like, 8 years ago... Still good as fuck, but it has that sort of sound to it.

[@JerryFlowersIII]

Parts of this sounds a bit like the "Other World" in Clannad After story, I wonder if there's inspiration from there.

[@Iown291]

First song sounds like something from 10 years ago

[@vexmau5]

Iown291 that’s the point actually. This EP is heavily influenced by early 2000s edm

[@zekeheling]

I’ve never been a fanboy of Porter, so I can judge this album without bias. It’s great. The compositions seem to be very Japanese and the arrangement is pretty much all UK hardcore. If you aren’t familiar with UK hardcore then check it out, cause stuff of this quality is dying out even in that genre. Artists like Darren Styles, Hixxy... from 2000-2010. What’s interesting is that Porter utilized the hardcore sound but elected to drop the standard hardcore bpm to about half that which it usually is. If you like this sound, support the hardcore scene so more of this kind of music can spread across the globe.

[@jharbors]

thanks for being a badass my friend

[@blastanoizz2]

Man I only found Virtual Self yesterday, but for me this was a trip back to when I spent my time watching Clannad and Onegai Sensei, Hardcore Techno Randomness AMVs by animedreamer, and trying to find the Bonkers UK hardcore albums on LimeWire. It's insane.

[@pwdersluj]

Pretty much agreed. I'm hoping for a S3RL remix of any of these songs actually. Also, considering Noisia's last collab with Former, I was thinking it would be awesome to see them work with Porter :-)

[@OfficialAbass]

you got it all wrong... It's not uk hardcore at all. It's y2k trance.

[@TheDigi321]

@@OfficialAbass 5 months late here: its not technically all wrong, while most of it might be wrong he did say it is great, and at the end of the day does it really matter what genre it is as long as it is good?
