Windows96 - Dated New Aesthetic

[@Dacoolblabbyboi]

whenever Windows 96 drops a new album, the world is at it's peak.

[@DrizzyB]

💯‼️

* The world is at it's peak when Windows96 drops a new album.

[@adamwise3113]

gotta agree

[@devanmauch7843]

literally though 2024 is done can we get new years already

[@NN-sp9tu]

its*

[@evanleavesart9495]

Your music reminded me of a song I heard years ago. The video clip was about dolls that came to life (something like Toy Story) and played the sounds of the song. It was called something like "club..." or "going to the club..." I would like to hear it again. But I never found it. I love your album.

[@arseniygaripov5514]

any updates on this song? I'm hella curious as well

[@benjaminwoodham6682]

There's a vaporwave song called "Join the Club" that sounds like this. And I vaguely remember a vaporwave amv that used clips from small soldiers... is that close?

[@some-fan]

what's the timeframe? i'm intrigued

[@evanleavesart9495]

Not is a vaporwave song, i think, is a electro classic song. "Electronica" "Disco" or something like that.

[@evanleavesart9495]

@@benjaminwoodham6682 Yes! Small soldiers, is that! You know the name?

[@RichKnight36]

The coolest thing about Windows96 is that every album grows on me. Like, I'll listen to an album the first time and think, well, it's good, but it isn't as good as his last one. And then, I'll listen to it again. And again. And again. Until the next album comes out, and I’ll say, well, this isn't as good as his last one. Every single time! It's like, it's not you, it's me. And it truly is me. I'M the one who has to change. I don't know how he does it, but he does.

[@jessestrobel2]

Happens to me too. How To See Through Walls was great

[@metaDeWeta]

I relate to this so much!!

[@TheWeebinar]

You are precisely correct. What you describe here happens with every single one of his albums for me as well. Windows96 and the show Trailer Park Boys have that factor in common, where you don't like it the first time you watch it but then afterward you can't stop watching the first 10 seasons or so over and over and over again, each time finding something new and interesting to enjoy.

[@oslamphoenix9871]

That's what an acquired taste is!

[@di4352]

I agree, they took a while to grow on me after Gradient Horizon, but eventually I just fell in love with its weirdly beautiful aesthetic.

[@TheShiningYoshi]

I love Windows96 for the SNES-style sounds he uses. That's the kind of nostalgia you can't get anywhere else.

[@shaunmorganuk21]

I thought the same thing haha.. love the SNES!

[@makeaton]

You're gonna love the genre called Chiptune. Whole new world for ya'll.

[@machinepuppy]

it seems some samples are taken directly from snes games, like i noticed some from donkey kong country in Lightsleeper

"I should probably start looking" might hit harder than 240p. gavriel is easily in my top 5. Please don't stop.

Speed it to 1.75x 🔥🔥

[@JohnLucPicard98]

Lightsleeper sounds surreal. What an amazing song.

[@tay-ai5397]

Thanks so much for the new album!! Also, the screensaver does a perfect corner hit at 3:26 😁

[@tendo649]

oh thank god I would have gone nuts without knowing if it hits the corner. thank you for your service

[@oslamphoenix9871]

Nice pfp

[@MrBradshawbenjamin]

actually, it turned orange rapidly and then blue, so it wasn't actually perfect, no :(

[@Olootos]

it hits the corner at the very end 33:41

[@Bonge_]

The clown is red for one frame not a perfect corner hit

[@crossmarian773]

Your music genuinely changed my life. They hit me during certain times in my life and listening to your music always gives me such nostalgia. I wonder if, in the future, I'll think back to this album too.

[@jordi.ac8457]

Same here! ❤

[@di4352]

I relate

[@xSephironx]

Same. It makes me feel like I'm making a game with rpg maker 2003 lol

[@hannahrae927]

I LITERALLY said such a similar comment when he posted the single song 3 weeks ago. His albums always drop at really prominent milestones in my life. It's magic. For reals. Can't wait to listen later tonight to the whole thing when I get home.

[@KyleSmitty]

Get on your knees and tell me you love me.

[@a_soulspark]

6:50 (Takeaguess) immediately reminded me of Hazy Trip. I love it

[@the.ricefarmer]

We've been calling it Hazy Trip 2.0 since release 😁

[@housemaster5540]

Oh hell yeah!

[@jajkomaster]

The very best track on this album

[@Lajopingue]

That's why it makes sense this album is called "Dated New Aesthetic" as it sounds like a walkaround across previous works.

comment of the year

[@QUASANOVA]

yes honey

[@SugarW1thC0ffee]

my name is Gabriel and I am also Brazilian. I just wanna say Windows 96, your music is like my personality and feeling of life personified into your music… every single album and you always start it off with a track with a melody that will hook me into it and create an absolute powerful vibe. You are amazing man, a genius! Obrigado!

[@Foltsee]

Lightsleeper is a banger, didn't expect jungle here

[@DJCerc]

As somebody who has recemtly been getting into Windows96 a ton, this was a blessing

[@dorenjackson1166]

Idk what this is, I just happened to be scrolling & I scene this thumbnail. That plus the title got me, I didn’t know if it was a gaming/computer or clickbait. But a fun fact about me is I love music like this, no one who knows me would believe it😂. I love whatever this genre is, elevator/lobby music, & jazz along with my hiphop & r&b 🤷🏾‍♂️ 😂 Tekken 4 “touch & go” theme song is a top 5 from tekken for me. Tekken always had a great soundtrack

[@justmnx]

Gab, this album really feels like a personification of your own career as Windows96... as seen in musics like takeaguess, lightsleeper, has a ton of tunes referring earlier albums like enchanted instrumentals and whispers, magic peaks, plume valley, etc. It's like showing this to a person asking "What is Windows96?" and i love it. Vai em frente irmão! 🤍

[@djjackson-pickett7558]

YES, I hear every project in this album. First half is like if Plume Valley and Enchanted Instrumentals went on a sweet honeymoon

[@marywiza]

Aeeee brasillll

[@Jindictave]

I honestly agree with this comment. Every song feels like a part of his older and newer albums, with the album in general feeling like a project that acknowledges his old works, while showing that it's also something new

[@xSephironx]

Yeah this album really is THE definitive windows 96 album now

[@bretdrummer]

This is so great. What a refresher that we get some brand new windows 96. I am so greatful.

[@gabrielketzer7084]

The greatest artist in the scene produces another absolute banger. Windows96/Gavriel has such a varied, high quality, and unique discography, I always look forward to another Windows96 Album to add to my rotation.

[@Prod_Jxrge]

Every sound in ever song is crystal clear. Almost as if i can see it right in front of my face😱✨

[@TheRoachDoggJR]

I accidentally had "Minecraft's atmosphere is changing" playing in the background of this and thought there was a backing audio of some guy talking about the "software is always changing, killing off that lonely feeling we all had" Peak.

[@matgrill9085]

Peak.

[@Raul-369]

I've been listening to Windows96 since 2018, and from the day I came across "One Hundred Mornings" in its full version my musical taste began to shape itself around Vaporwave, an artist like Gavriel having such expression and relevance producing a "dead" genre " and niched in the middle of Latin America is a source of pride for me, his songs are part of my youth and will forever be in my most nostalgic memories. Thank You

[@-._Radixerus_.-]

[@rdrgogomes]

ANOTHER BANGER FROM GAVRIEL! it's a very good album, it brings together everything good that Gavriel has done so far. It's an amalgamation of several previous albums, I noticed a big influence from Plume Valley and In The Worlde. Overall it met my expectations, but I felt a bit of that special touch of unique authenticity that each album has. Nine six communication interface.

[@Lajopingue]

I don't know but it's a great coincidence each new Windows96's album gets released just on a key time into my personal life, like it'd turning into the soundtrack of my most introspective thoughts and feelings.

[@Kepora1]

Oh shit, new Windows 96 - sweet! I remember when "One Hundred Mornings" was new; I miss those days...

[@cheezitz6730]

i've only heard parts of the first two songs and i'm in love already

[@HoodoHoodlumsRevenge]

It’s a good day when Windows96 drops 🙌🏻🎶

[@malphini]

Takeaguess on this album definitely takes portions from Hazy Trip on Enchanted Instrumentals and Whispers, which is probably my favorite Windows96 Album.

[@matgrill9085]

Yess

[@matgrill9085]

Also somewhere at 11:00 there's a familiar melody from one of his songs, can't remember rn

[@Ruff40]

It's my belief that the title of this album, 'Dated New Aesthetic', describes its vibe. This is something Windows96 does a lot (Think about Enchanted Instrumentals and Whispers for example), the whole album has a recurring voice effect saying ‘96’ which is the first time we’ve seen his songs reference himself, and the title fits the vibe of this album so well because this whole album reuses a ton of effects and sounds from his old/previous albums and make them new again, with a couple of sounds coming from elsewhere entirely. To prove this point, and for my own use, here's a list of all the references he made that I could pick up. Feel free to add any I missed. At the end of the 1st song at 3:23 you can hear faintly the sped up beats to "I think it's over" "Nocturne Button Presses" bizarrely uses that 'ya ready?' sound effect from Justin Timberlake's SexyBack The 3rd song "Takeaguess" just straight up uses the beats from "Hazy Trip" (I think he wanted us to guess where the beats were from) The 4th song has beats very reminiscent of the 'Plume Valley' album, specifically the song "Highwind Prairie" or maybe "Tranquility Path" "Lightsleeper", the 5th song, also has Plume Valley-esque beats, resembling specifically the beats of the EP song "Beast Town" "Not a Puzzle or a Riddle" is a banger, though I haven't found a reference for it. I guess the whistling vaguely sounds like "The Fool" or a Nematophy song? The 6th song has at the very beginning a sort of keyboard sound straight from "Expect", which is both a single and a song from the album "Magic Peaks", and that trumpet-y sound effect seemingly comes from "Cathode Rays" of the EI&W album, and it goes into the Plume Valley beats at the end 7th, "Feal Brids" also uses Plume Valley beats, and uses a "Doo" vocal sound effect from the latter half of "Whitenoisetruthfull" from Nematophy. The 8th, "Konami Beta Female" uses beats similar to those of One Hundred Mornings, though I have trouble putting the other sounds to one song/album 9th, the song "I should probably start looking" starts with the same hum as "240p" from How to See Through Walls, and it plays the 'so disgusting' voice from the reprisal of NDE from the same album. It also uses that 'doo' sound effect again from Nematophy And finally, "Moment of Refelction" seems to have those plume valley beats as well as a keyboard sound like that of the songs of Empty Hiding World, specifically "Edenic Green Plus" It was really fun to hear all these nostalgic bits of songs from all the Windows96 albums I've been listening to for years. A trip down memory lane. If anyone else caught anything from any other song or album, please point it out to me.

[@fusy09]

Unexpected breakcore in Lightsleeper breaks my heart. Positively. Takeaguess is a banger and - How he found the world all strange and the world found him strange likewise - is a more romantic, not obvious kind of banger, anyways thank you for creating so consitently.

[@grandskroblin]

Wow what a wonderful gift to start 2024 with, will be listening for a long while!

[@yepisuredolikecats3979]

kinda love how in "not a puzzle or a riddle" you use the sound of when a phone or something gets too close to a microwave or whatever in the beat

[@NotoriousBIG5271]

I am profoundly stoked to listen to this, thanks

[@goodvibes4891]

Favorite album of yours. I don't think I like it much, turn it on as background music cause I'm *saving* my 'better' stuff for later when I want to pay attention to it, realize I'm fully entranced in the album once not a puzzle or a riddle comes on, and realize I've been doing nothing this whole time and pushed back my 'better' stuff listening session.

[@RoseJetExhaust]

I am looking forward to understanding these tunes for myself more and more, since they are so much more than their surface reveals. Excellent as always and ever moderately-to-greatly different than expected, Gav. "Lightsleeper" in particular starts so innocent like, the title somewhat suggests, a sweet and lithe lullaby. When the track degenerates with the interference noise and abruptly transforms, my jaw literally dropped - in a good way.

very cool album! Takeaguess is an instant classic and the favorite track, feels like straight out of Enchanted instrumentals and is just perfect. The breakcore on Lightsleeper was very cool to hear and birdchirp solo on Feal Birds is just XD Overall a pretty experimental album for Win96 but still feels unmistakeably like home. This is going straight onto a car CD ♥

Another wonder of an album. Gorgeous stuff. Definitely going to await buying this one physically. Musically it felt like a beautiful merging between the lush atmospherics of Plume Valley, the darker synth wave of YVYY etc, and just a really top-notch production. Despite the jazzy tone, it also felt somehow more emotional than some of the others. 28:12 'I should probably start looking' might be my favorite, with its hypnotizing beat.
