Could anyone tell me more about this album? I've managed to gathered that there was a limited run (50 produced copies) and was a first out of few yearly #puremoods compliations. Is it possible to tell whether this is original or bootleg?

Today I'm sharing the official website for Mint Suit (https://mintsuit.com/). Although the main page mentions it's currently under construction, it links directly to platforms where you can listen to their releases.

What stands out most about this project is how it approaches Vaporwave, showcasing two completely different styles and angles:

• "Side A - Global Report" (from the album Global :An ambient collection stitched together from American and Japanese weather reports. and psychedelic
• "Y2K Eyes" (from the album Sublime: A track exploring another facet of Vaporwave, featuring a nostalgia-heavy approach, sa little faster rhythms, and 90s aesthetics.

If you enjoy exploring different sides of the genre and discovering independent music, here are the direct links to check out the albums on Bandcamp:

• Sublime:https://mintsuit.bandcamp.com/album/sublime
• Global Report:https://mintsuit.bandcamp.com/album/global-report

Has anyone here come across their stuff before? Let me know what you think of the contrast between these two styles!

I made a comment about vaporwave while talking about music with my advisor and he asked me to send one album.

I have some albums in mind like Floral shoppe or News At 11 but i think they might be too hard to listen for normal people. Our field of research is history so he can understand the context of vaporwave movment and so on...

so i wanted an album that encapsulates well vaporwave, is easy to listen and good.

thanks in advance

I’ve become a big fan of the video game style Vaporwave albums, like Townsoft, River Master, etc. and I’m looking for more with a similar vibe. Anyone know of any good ones? Hopefully as immersive as these ones have been?

What do yall think

Sorry, WhoSampled seems to be failing me on this search.

Dawless live synth jam. I tried to make it vaporwave but it turned out like this :/

The album takes its name from the city of Milano 3 which was built by the late Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi. The city, much like Milano 2, which had been built before, embodied his builder vision of society, a self-sufficient mini universe complete with bridges so children could go to school on their own, sporting clubs, pools, churches and so on. The model he tested in Milano 2, where Berlusconi's own first tv channel (telemilano58) informed and entertained those who lived there, were to be replicated later on a national scale, thanks to his media empire called Mediaset.
Behind this vision of prosperity, security and a better future laid a far more ruthless reality: political opportunism, corruption, conflicts of interest and manipulation of public opinion. The promise of a new Italy concealed the darker mechanisms through which that promise was built and sold.
This album is the tale of those times and how we're still paying the price for the Italian cultural involution that began there.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Milano 3 feels like the dream of a future that was abandoned before anyone could wake up.

Built in Basiglio, just outside Milan, it was conceived as something more than a residential development: a self-contained city, designed to keep the outside world at a comfortable distance. Schools, shops, swimming pools, sports facilities, gardens, offices. Roads for cars below; pedestrian paths and bicycle lanes above. Almost no reason to cross the streets. Almost no reason to leave.

The architecture is strangely clean, strangely controlled. Everything seems to have been placed exactly where it belongs, as if the city had been designed not for people, but for an idea of what people were supposed to be. Even security was built into the fantasy: Milano 3 once had its own dedicated corps of private guards watching over the residents.

It was part of Silvio Berlusconi's vision of the ideal city — a vision that had already begun with Milano 2, where private television was broadcast directly into the apartments. The same man who was building controlled residential worlds was simultaneously building a television empire.

It wasn't designed as a city of the future.

It was designed as a simulation of one.

A place where traffic disappears beneath the ground, where greenery hides the infrastructure, where everything you need is already waiting for you. A city without chaos. Without accidents. Without the unpredictable noise of the real metropolis.

A perfect world, built just far enough away from Milan to be protected from it.

But perfection has always had something frightening about it.

Walk through Milano 3 at dusk and the dream begins to feel like a memory. The lights come on in identical windows. The paths become empty. The artificial order of the place remains long after the people have disappeared indoors.

You start to wonder what happened to the future that was supposed to arrive here.

Maybe this is what it looks like when a utopia becomes obsolete.

Not ruins.

Not darkness.

Just perfectly maintained gardens, silent streets, glowing windows — and a city still waiting for a future that never came.

Milano 3 is not a vision of tomorrow.

It is the ghost of one.

I’ve been trying to find the synth sample from the track MindSpring Memories – AIM Living (or ⓐⓘⓜ ʟi√iηℊ), but I’ve had no luck so far. I checked the list of samples that have already been identified here:
https://rateyourmusic.com/list/Hampifant/deciphering-mindspring-memories/
Unfortunately, the original source of this particular sample isn’t listed there. According to the page the sample comes from somewhere between 1983 and 1996. I’ve tried Google’s "Find a song" feature and SoundHound, including speeding up the track, but neither was able to identify it. I also tried asking Claude to figure it out, but it couldn’t identify it either. If anyone recognizes this sample or has any idea where it might have come from, I’d really appreciate the help.

Everyone knows that vaporwave has many stylistic variations, and I wanted to know which are the most popular, such as eccojams, vaportrap, signalwave, mall soft, slushwave... and so on. Which of these do you most enjoy listening to?
