I'm both intrigued and confused by specific music styles being associated with this nowadays. Besides the Nintendo Wii I just saw this style everywhere for advertisements and products, music couldn't really be attached to it. Regardless I am happy to see so many people take an interest in this look.

[@coders22]

Here's how I envision Rafflesia Channel: Connecting - Startup Screen Rafflesia Channel - Home Page New You - User Page / Store Showcase - Content Uploads Plaza - Community/Forums What's On - News/Trending Cruising - Fun Zone (Games/Gallery/etc.)

[@vespacito3950]

Perfection, sir. I would like to assume you hit them all on the mark from the vibes of the song.

[@mix3k818]

Exactly how I'd envision it.

[@softcloth69]

New You was also the name of the shop song in Splatoon 1 I believe 👀

[@isopodchan87]

Rafflesia online was a genuine comfort of mine. I'd play it to sleep when I was feeling sad or scared. I listened to it for many other sad reasons I won't get into. I'm so happy for this continuation of Rafflesia. The music (so far, as I listen to it while typing) is as beautiful as the first album. Thank you Xploshi for another masterpiece.

[@glumbortango7182]

Oh boy, it's time for the corpsebloom to ripen once more, I do believe that this will be an album for the Digital Age

What feels bizarre about Rafflesia is that it feels like the Wii without being the Wii; It's a similar sense of nostalgia while also being something completely different. It's something that ya nailed right on the head with, and I wouldn't be having it any other way! Very nice job -w-👍

[@nitrogenoxide135]

Emulating the frutiger aero asthetic can feel magical when you grew up with it.

It feels closer to the later Frutiger aero aesthetic than the way more resemblance of wii u

Thank you for bestowing rafflesia online to my Frutiger aero playlist 🙏 (btw bliss boutique and pod lounge are literal masterpieces, I find myself listening to them everyday)

Found this through spotify recommendations and i gotta say it's an absolute treat for frutiger aero enthusiasts. Such a cool concept i hope you keep expanding on it :3

[@aetherialpaff]

i'm so glad you made a sequel. i've been falling asleep to both offline and channel so far, each time thinking about how beautiful these would sound if they ever made it into a game, or where i'd place them if i ever made one.

I've gotta say, as a Frutiger Aero fanatic, you blew it out of the goddam park with this one. I'm gonna add this to my playlist alongside rafflesia online. Good Work!

[@DanJWilcox]

So glad you made another collection of Rafflesia tracks. I absolutely loved the previous 'online' project. I'm really interested how on your music process too - DAW? Are these entirely soundfonts? Best plugins or techniques to emulate that early digital lossy sound? I'd also love to hear more - keep it up!

[@Xploshi]

Hi! I use Logic Pro X and its many included drum and synth plugins, but I also used the Pikmin series soundfonts and the M1 synthesiser on this album. To make it sound lossy and compressed all you have to do is export it in Audacity or a similar software with a very low sample rate!

[@DanJWilcox]

@@Xploshi Simple yet so effective. Really fantastic stuff - thanks for the reply!

[@dreflox]

You don't understand how happy I am that you made this. You just keep nailing the frutiger aero/3DS/Wii vibe and it just floods me with nostalgia it's so good!!!

OMG I've just noticed this video on your channel, and i can't believe how 2000s it feels. I've watched so many of your VHS horrors and unused commercials, but this is just beautiful! 😍 I miss the 2000s so much! It was my childhood 😢

I discovered your music through ArpWire mixes, and this really takes me back to my childhood and teen years and I'm 30 years old now. I love the modern, futuristic sound, and I vibe to this all day, especially while I'm working.

[@skullspirit6472]

How did i miss this one Rafflesia online was my favorite thing i ever listened to, on cold winter bus rights in the dark it was always the most fitting, the vibes of it were immaculate, i'd say rafflesia online was my comfort music, and im shocked i missed this one (Altho i noticed that Rafflessia Online track from rafflessia online album was cut off in the video abruptly) Im so glad you made this one, you are the only person i can trust to make perfect 100% Frutiger Aero music

[@Zipzippieeeyy]

I streamed both your albums on my first trip out of the U.S. and let me tell you, your music has a special place in my heart.

[@rubenstrandberg6797]

This album is fantastic. It reminds me so much of sanodg's Brightness. I think the instrument selection allows the each element to "breath" in the mix.

[@superbro6413]

This is no doubt from that funny little era when PC online multiplayer games got singleplayer console ports for the PS2 and Wii. At least, that's my interpretation Mind you, much like Rafflesia Online, a lot of Rafflesia Channel's cool features were tied to online connectivity that is now defunct. At least the bgm tracks were able to be dumped for us to enjoy, as we reminisce about a bygone era. I hope reflecting on the positive experiences of the past give you solace as you move towards the tomorrow 'Preciate ya Xploshi 🌻

[@mustardkrisame281]

I have finally time to listen this non stop and gotta say I'm really a fan of your Frutiger Aero music, this feels so dreamy and happy, just like shopping in the e-shop as a child even if I'm not going to buy anything. It's like seeing my long forgotten childhood memories again after so long, the happiness, the thought of a really bright future for technology and humanity, so natural yet articficial in a conformable way.

[@Corgipon]

Kind of like how Rafflesia Online represents early Frutiger Aero (probably at the transition between Y2K and Frutiger Aero), this one’s more representative of the later part of Frutiger Aero, especially the Wii era.

If I had to describe this music, honestly it reminds me of playing my PlayStation 3 in 2009 and finding weird Japanese games but the music was always so comfort sounding it’s hard to describe. Reminds me a lot of life with PlayStation as well.
