Notes

  • The track VSJRP(DATE).wav had it's name changed to VSJRP(24-6-1991).wav in 2022. Interestingly, this appears to be the only track to not be remastered.
    • This is the only track to have a notable title change, though Excellent Flight. Class was also changed to Excellent. Flight. Class.

Description

"but in strict regard to vaporwave, i think that kind of coverage encourages people to over-intellectualize it, which in turn makes the people behind it appear unjustifiably pretentious (and in turn, completely moronic) given the type of music we specialize in. how much context can you really give to a doctored loop of a jazz instrumental? truly guys, we are sample curators at best.

we put into practice the art of commodifying art...[taking] "music" and returning it to its most primordial state, "sound"."
