For extreme Vaporwave aesthetic, go to a local mall and listen to this music. If the mall is run down and nearly abandoned, that adds an even better effect.

This disk was included in the WFMU Catalogue:

Weird Japanese instrumentals originally composed as soundtracks for Japanese TV commercials. If only there was stuff this interesting on American TV. Shimizu's a killer music pitchman, hit and run with sound collage, twittering computers, brief rushes from one type of music to another, repetition to lull consumers into a buying coma. This cd contains 23 tracks clocking in at two minutes or less, and one piece worked up for a computer animation short. Commercials Shimizu has composed and arranged for read like a Japanese Fortune 500 - Ricoh, Honda, Seiko, Shiseido, and, of course, Bridgestone.

Archivist Vivian [Dr. Airlines]:

Zoolook is a great Jarre album. Read up on Musique Por Supermarche. That's the album that he only made one copy of. It was scored for an art exhibit his mate did and he wanted it to be one of a kind. He burned the master tape. It's incredible stuff, it was broadcast on Radio Luxembourg and you can hear a poor quality copy of the album online.
Avatar 4:21pm
Archivist Vivian [Dr. Airlines]:

Klaus Netzle is his real name, but he has released stuff mostly under the name Claude Larson. Also names like Carlos Futura, VC People, Elmulab, and has made music in groups such as Sax-Bone Connection and Power Pack, the latter of which I enjoy the most.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:22pm

I like that that Seinwave had canned laughter samples !!
Avatar 4:23pm
Archivist Vivian [Dr. Airlines]:

I actually have a nice story that spans several years on one of Klaus Netzle's Power Pack LPs. A guy from Iran posted a collection of electronic songs by unknown people to his youtube, and we became friends. For the next few years, we discovered many of these songs and who they were by. This one we discovered was by a group named Power Pack. I ended up doing a lot of looking and found the LP it was from on some shady German website and bought it.

WoW, prolific bandcamp Vivian! I just randomly clicked on "I don't know how to use my keyboard" .. and like where it's going ! .. I will have a closer/wider listen after the show

That was recorded as part of an unreleased tape that was influenced by the early works of The Residents. Many of the songs from that unreleased tape are on that Archivbox compilation.

I'm still a huge fan of the spaces in v a p o r w a v e -- it's awesome how that kinda worked it's way across the visual aspect of the music.

Yeah, yeah!- Paper Rad, etc...look all that stuff up!
Just 'cause after listening to y'all's show for 2 hours now...I keep going: ooo!- these guys would totally love these other neat multi-media artists! (Which I *think* are in the same vein??)
Jacob (who started Paper Rad) was a local (Chapel Hill) kid here in the 90's, but I didn't meet him until much later when I helped with "Media Archaeology" in Houston. (2006?)

I will walk around in malls and listen to music like this for fun sometimes. But I usually listen to the actual stuff and not the edited vaporwave.

that sound of music playing in malls is very vaporwave to. I consider it part of the aesthetic

In the other part of the house, my wife is listening to Soma.fm station Groove Salad and it doesn't sound too many degrees off from some of this music.

Martinibomb:

My dad had a big cavernous machine shop that I worked in.. sweeping floors. the 80s AM stations would be playing kinda yacht/soft rock and I absolutely adore that sound in a big reverb drenched space. It really transports me

Yeah! Extra reverb! Definitely transformative to music.

So I think the sound of the spaces people heard the source material is important to the genre to. That's my argument.

Max Wright, which is the ALF dad's name, was caught in the early 2000s on home video, smoking crack and copulating with homeless men. It's a running joke.

ALF could have been so good but it really wasn't. But I still love it. I have a weird relationship with that show.
Avatar 5:42pm

If you like some of this stuff here, you should listen to Junko Ohashi, who was a famous singer in Japan during the 80s. Unfortunately, she was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer, but she has an incredible voice.

Martinibomb:

oh yeah I like that stuff too.Junko Ohashi - I love you is a cool track
Avatar 5:44pm
Archivist Vivian [Dr. Airlines]:

www.youtube.com... This is a compilation album Ohashi released in '84. It's exactly what the album's name says. Magical. The cover art is beautiful. Being a New Yorker who had been to the WTC before the incident, it is kind of sad to look at.

@ Martinibomb - I'm gonna say probably... I'm not familiar with that anime...

Eventually, I'll cover some of her songs. I have limited understanding of the Japanese language, even less than I used to, but if I write the lyrics phonetically I can sing them that way.

Cowley was another great talent we lost too soon due to AIDS in the early 80s. Klaus Nomi was another. I spent a long time trying to find hard-to-find Klaus Nomi recordings back in early 2017 but didn't have all that much success.
