@@enostheforthewin6191 Well it was even more so back in the day. On Pad Chennington's channel there's an interview with George (Esprit) and he talks about how this was one of the first vaporwave releases that didn't rely too heavily on the samples. (edit: typo)
This album recently passed the age of 10 years old and it no longer brings the nostalgia of my early childhood but rather the period when it was released. F*ck you esprit. Its too good. It still holds up.
This is like the ideal of videogame music from that era. It fits the part, and feels like a track you forgot from that game you played as a kid. You can't remember the name of the game but the tune plays in your head all the time. It's too good to be true. How does no one else remember this game's soundtrack?

@@configured4357 , just look around. Overconsumptionist practices are ruining resources, while greater adversities loom on the horizon. The present is beautiful, and horrifying.
This is so fantastic! Seriously why isn't this album regarded as highly as Floral Shoppe!? Man, two thumbs up for Esprit. This album was a journey through a place I could only wish existed. Thanks for the upload! :]
By real fans, it will be regarded as batter, because it just is Love Floral Shoppe, but this is a true work of art, and he took the genre to a new level with this
These tracks are really good. Some are rather short. Though they're all pretty solid. I really liked the second half of the album a lot. Though, the first two tracks are super clean. In all, I think this is a fabulous effort and worthy of a listen.
Weed and vaporwave go together a bit too well haha. I remember when I first smoked to Macintosh Plus...this is officially my favorite genre of music to get stoned too :) but it's enjoyable just as good sober too :D
+Evolutionizer i agree with you 100% especially when making a record and then listening to it when im stoned makes it a completely different experience. you should check out my vapor ive got some pretty good ambient and whatever else this brain of mine formulates: capsicola.bandcamp.com/ soundcloud.com/capsicola/tracks
Iwillbe.wav makes you feel like your in the space version of bikini bottom and everyone is floating high on seaweed... This vaporwave album is probably the best of all time with other legendary ones
I think George, despite very clear 90’s influences and reference points being its foundation, really touched upon a pretty timeless sound. I feel elements of his whole discography under all his aliases have that “freshness” quality. But this one is definitely one I’d rank among his most ageless, it’s a fine, fine wine.
I found this thru a podcast called Night Clerk Radio, i like it. It's minimalist without sounding same-y throughout the album, which is hard to do, I guess that's on account of all the original soundwork.
HKE (formerly known as Hong Kong Express), t e l e p a t h テレパシー能力者, Vincent Remember, Blank Banshee, Vaperror, 猫 シ Corp., Eco Virtual, Darksleep, Cocainejesus, Chungking Mansions, luxury elite, 회사AUTO, death's dynamic shroud.wmv, Golden Living Room, Nmesh, Topaz Gang, 18 Carat Affair, Oneohtrix Point Never, George Clanton (the guy behind the Esprit project), Shima33, Vektroid (and all her many aliases). Not quite sure what you mean by either "legitimate" or "established", I just kind of assumed you meant popular producers who aren't just fucking around and making memes.
+ＩｍｐｅｎｄｉｎｇＲｉｏｔ８３ yeah. i just wanted some producers that werent undermining the genre and just making some random shit that were also well known as serious producers
FreemanzzFilms Yeah, his work does have a pretty strong appeal even to newbies to Vaporwave since he kinda keeps one foot in that and the other one in some other genres sometimes.
Back in the days when my big brother and my cousin would save up their change to rent a Sega Saturn for the weekend, I'd be pretty near jumping up and down when I would see them coming down the hill to my aunties place with that clunky box in their hands. Good times! :)
george himself seems to not like this album too much, but i think its one of the most genre-defining works in vaporwave. after virtua.zip was released, a lot of artists began moving away from a plunderphonic production and began making songs consisting of mostly original samples and tunes. all of the songs still have that iconic "vaporwave" soul and nostalgic feeling for that reason. i think george absolutely nailed what he was going for on this album. what george has continuously done for vaporwave and in his evolution/direction as an artist, id argue, wouldn't have been so profound without this collection of tracks MONUMENTAL!!!
Even though this music is sorta supposed to evoke 80s/90s nostalgia (I personally) am feeling nostalgia for 2014, when this came out. I was in 6th grade, simpler happier more carefree times when i was truely enjoying life. I would trade 2022 in for 2014 anyday
Es como cuando ya escuchaste toda la música posible, ya pasaste todos los niveles, y luego, al final, después de los créditos, desbloqueas el v a p o r w a v e

dude i so feel that
I just want to go back😔

This is the ideal Vaporwave album, you may not like it, but this is what peak Vaporwave sounds like.
where do you rank windows96
I see D.D.S. as being "at the top" idk, theres at least a dozen top notch vaporwave albums I can think of. Apples to oranges.
Absolutely agree. This is good vaporwave, nowadays everyone relies too heavily on samples.

I drove through my hometown and played espirit.wav. Right as I passed my childhood home it said, "Say Goodbye"
I never want vaporwave to die. It literally makes me sad
Vaporwave is dead, long live vaporwave
vaporwave never existed
Vaporwave is undead
@@gustv999 I like this idea man
Vaporwave never dies, because he is dead
I seriously can’t believe this album is almost 7 years old now
Time goes sooo fast
Why did you have to remind me of how long ago 2014 was
that means is getting better
this is me going from teen to kind of a real adult
you aren't going to believe how old it is now
still crazy to think he really ended up 'vaporising' and finishing the album in one day and the shit isnt sloppy in the slightest
Lol yeah I thought I remember George saying that, also the project was made kind of as a joke. So ironic
in love
Creating your own tunes and then sampling them yourself. George Clanton you absolute madman.
lmao i didn't know this was clanton, and i 100% thought "george clanton" was a play on george clinton, like "urethra franklin"
This album recently passed the age of 10 years old and it no longer brings the nostalgia of my early childhood but rather the period when it was released.
F*ck you esprit. Its too good. It still holds up.
This album is what got me into Vaporwave.
Me too :)

is esprit the secret true king of vaporwave?
+brainac0cult secret? not really lol. he was one of the first vwave pioneers that was able produce a really appealing sound; compared to most of the other stuff at the time
its appealing for sure. it feels like a friday evening eating pizza and watching movies on vhs
Or walking around the mall, or driving through the highway in Los Angeles, or simply chilling in the 80s.
Daaamn, you triggered some major nostalgia in me right now lol
essentially
Does anyone else find something weirdly intimate about these songs that are supposed to be artificial and soulless?

we used to love fighting with that drunk monk
now, we just call him dad and ask him to please, stop, I'm trying to do my homework
Definitely my favorite character lol
Track 1 actually contains a virtua fighter sample. Found it in my PC Game
way310 Ah, good find!
***** SEGA's logo in the game plays that sound
***** Correct
+way310 In the beginning, I thought that it sounded a lot like an old console starting up or game going into the main screen.
I use to play that game quite a bit when I had Windows XP
This album feels like one big song
Love this sound. Makes me think of N64 and Dreamcast main menu tunes for old games.
Surely Saturn ones?
This is so fantastic! Seriously why isn't this album regarded as highly as Floral Shoppe!? Man, two thumbs up for Esprit. This album was a journey through a place I could only wish existed. Thanks for the upload! :]

Love Floral Shoppe, but this is a true work of art, and he took the genre to a new level with this
growing up i think this was my top 5 albums of life, 2014 was a crazy year for vaperwave....
2012-2016 was an incredible time for stuff like this. i hold those years very dear.
These tracks are really good. Some are rather short. Though they're all pretty solid. I really liked the second half of the album a lot. Though, the first two tracks are super clean. In all, I think this is a fabulous effort and worthy of a listen.
this really bring me back to my youth, i miss being in my 20s
This album gives me goosebumps.
this is definitely one of the best vaporwaves
18:38 I love how that synth comes in a fraction late. Makes it more human more imperfect...more....ｖa p oｒｗaｖｅ

Must get Fiji Flavoured ejuice so i can vape the A E S T H E T I C whilst listening
yea, quality uploading thnx
holy smokes that ejuice would be hella dope
is that an actual thing? pls respond where can i get it
I love this album so much. Whenever it starts playing the feeling is so intense it kills me.
this is my personal soundtrack for those days when the weather is really fresh and i go for a walk at my college
one time i was trippin on acid and on warmjet the clouds in the back made me feel like i was taking off lol and the song.i was out there
your living up to the last part of your name thats for sure lol
O h man virtua fighter... i'm so out of words
my best jam forever to travel thru space and time and reach the nebulas far away

Virtua Fighter! It´s like you just found a forgotten part of my brain but there was an error cause CHILDHOOD.dll is missing
memory access violation
@@GeometricPidgeon Oh no the vaporwave thought crime cyber police are onto us! Quick, get into the sky blue Buick Regal escape car!!
‘CHILDHOOD.dll is missing’ is a fantastic comment

Close your eyes and let your Imagination R O A M
this was all I listened to when I was in New Zealand
Esprit is maybe the best vaporwave song and the most representative of the genre
My favorite along with Maitro - Snake Way (The Rippingtons - Tourist in Paradise)
This is some high tier vapor you've got here
How many times can I listen to this until I'm sick of it? HOW MANY?
I think iwillbe is my favorite so groovy and inspiring/inspirit
Wonderful album, and thank you for sharing.
Just bought it on vinyl! :)
I need to do the same thing
what are some really established legitimate vaporwave producers
HKE (formerly known as Hong Kong Express), t e l e p a t h テレパシー能力者, Vincent Remember, Blank Banshee, Vaperror, 猫 シ Corp., Eco Virtual, Darksleep, Cocainejesus, Chungking Mansions, luxury elite, 회사AUTO, death's dynamic shroud.wmv, Golden Living Room, Nmesh, Topaz Gang, 18 Carat Affair, Oneohtrix Point Never, George Clanton (the guy behind the Esprit project), Shima33, Vektroid (and all her many aliases).
Not quite sure what you mean by either "legitimate" or "established", I just kind of assumed you meant popular producers who aren't just fucking around and making memes.
+ＩｍｐｅｎｄｉｎｇＲｉｏｔ８３ yeah. i just wanted some producers that werent undermining the genre and just making some random shit that were also well known as serious producers
+ＩｍｐｅｎｄｉｎｇＲｉｏｔ８３ and just looking at those names, i actually activity listen to cocainjesus. no wonder it was so easy for me to pick up this music
FreemanzzFilms Yeah, his work does have a pretty strong appeal even to newbies to Vaporwave since he kinda keeps one foot in that and the other one in some other genres sometimes.
+ＩｍｐｅｎｄｉｎｇＲｉｏｔ８３ yeah. its not super heavy with the vapore wave vibes but the song that turned me onto the artist was "i dont want to awake right now"
Back in the days when my big brother and my cousin would save up their change to rent a Sega Saturn for the weekend, I'd be pretty near jumping up and down when I would see them coming down the hill to my aunties place with that clunky box in their hands. Good times! :)
That opening track though 😍
I literally almost cried it's over..
george himself seems to not like this album too much, but i think its one of the most genre-defining works in vaporwave. after virtua.zip was released, a lot of artists began moving away from a plunderphonic production and began making songs consisting of mostly original samples and tunes.
all of the songs still have that iconic "vaporwave" soul and nostalgic feeling for that reason. i think george absolutely nailed what he was going for on this album. what george has continuously done for vaporwave and in his evolution/direction as an artist, id argue, wouldn't have been so profound without this collection of tracks
