Hey guys, let's slow down some 80s hits. Honestly, one of the best and most dynamic use of samples in a vaporwave album. As my boiz already said, some transitions are a bit sketchy, but the samples are so damn funky they allow the record to sail between pure vaporwave and future funk, adding some glitchy parts a la death's dynamic shroud.wmv. A good representation of vaporwave's potential, as it's a fresh take on an already old concept, and it brews everything that's even remotely vaporwave into one hour: it's chill, funky, dreamy, glitchy, hypnagogic and most of all damn experimental. The kind of album I wish Eccojams would have been.

Picture death's dynamic shroud.vmw. Now picture an artist who takes his experiments rrfurther, with an actual "narrative" to boot. That's when you get Dante Mars Ajeto's rr'Celebrating Digital Artefacts'. Now yes, it has a few flaws of transition and redundant rr"glitching", but goddamn, this is fucking fantastic. In a nutshell, it's "take one catchy rrbit from a corporate pop song and magnify it to a higher level all the while adding rrexperimentation", and it works flawlessly. The textural work is NOT lacking, it's rrmemorable and catchy, production is clearly in the hands of a skilled rindividual, highly renjoyable, quirky and unique, has tons of replay value, great tracklist, groovy, really, rthere is almost no negative I can observe in rthis. Even the classic cheesy vaporwave rconcept is followed to the point of parody(which rwas most probably intended). You're very rwelcome Bedex.rFav tracks: 1, 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 13, 15, 19.r

Really really fun vaporwave album that flows naturally almost the entire time bar the intro on 3 and doesn't feel long at all. Will stay in my library. The tracks that worked best for me were the bouncier, groovier ones - and hell, some really do got some good bounce in em. 7 is a really bouncy jam, 15 is a jam that would fit right in a house set, and 18 offers sort of an ambient bounce. There are few weak tracks and excessively quirky bits. I mean sure, the opener sounds like it is from the OST of some documentary on African fauna, 3 is a bit abrupt in its transition, and 12 is the kind of bizarre I was worried about (but quite short). A few tracks are also half cool and bouncy but just have a little too much weirdness or a sample that doesn't quite work, eg 6, 13, or 19. Other cool tracks 4, 9, 14 (chill and groovy, kinda jammy), and the closer which is a nice ambient-ish piece. Surprised I liked this so much tbh. Thanks rellik! 4.05
