FutureSounds FM

FutureSounds returns for a Fourth Season!In this episode we finally deliver on our promise to rank the greatest Vaporwave albums of all time... We reveal our all-time classic albums in three categories: OG classics, Modern Classics, and leftfield/cult picks. On the panel this week are Enzo, Thom, Fakeman and Roby Dyson - with contributions from Jornt (Catsystemcorp), Jay, Aldo (Groove Remote) and new FutureSounds member - Eric Hughes (Sly Vinyl).We've also got a guest appearance from none other than Saint Pepsi, plus selections from FutureSounds listeners. We were inspired by a debate sparked on the r/Vaporwave subreddit, where it was argued that there hasn't been a true classic in years... listen in to find it why they're wrong.Oh and don't be mad if your favourite didn't make the cut. We picked one album each and we couldn't go on forever. Useful Links:NONE - no spoilers! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

FutureSounds returns for a Fourth Season!We're back for a fourth series, with a rotated line-up of regular hosts that now includes Jornt (猫 シ Corp.) among its number.In this episode we ask if Vaporwave has already produced its last true classic album; reflect on a Summer of IRL shows; give the latest news on the Nobody Here documentary; and tackle the tricky (/toxic) subject of Vapor-bootlegs... Your hosts for the episode are Enzo, Thom, Groove Remote and Jornt - aka 猫 シ Corp.Useful Links:High Eden Slushwave 2025 video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCYW9vxJJdM Donor Lens - As Cold As Winter: https://mypetflamingo.bandcamp.com/album/as-cold-as-winter猫 シ Corp. - Hiraeth: The Ambient Works: https://hiraethrecords.eu/product/hiraeth-the-ambient-works-vinyl/Saint Pepsi x Timeshare'94 Mixtape: https://mypetflamingo.bandcamp.com/merch/saint-pepsi-x-timeshare94-clwb-classics-cassette-editionSly Vinyl Records: https://www.hellomerch.com/collections/slyvinyl?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnmt_BaLkII1WFs7pPFb-JmP17HNsCDo0T9-K41j5xWrLVMVuuupcIM5GH-ZM_aem_rVZwoZ8mRR2a8OUEGmGriQJana Tyrrell - Skeletal video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvTeViEn3ZA Hosted on Acast.

FutureSounds FM is back for a third season...In this episode Enzo talks to author and curator, Michael Brown - author of 'Buy Now', a deep-dive into Eyeliner's classic album; part of Bloomsbury's prestigious '33 1/13' collection.Drawing on original interviews and the album's production archive, the book uses BUY NOW's story to investigate what it means to create, distribute, and consume independent music in an era of global networks and digital technology. It places the album in both the real-world and online contexts of Rowell's life and career, from early websites to the Spotify era, from Lower Hutt to the world.We also talk to Michael about Vaporwave more broadly, and the wider internet culture that gave birth to the genre we love!Useful Links:Buy the book (now): https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/eyeliners-buy-now-9781501397820/Michael Brown: https://phanza.org.nz/historian/michael-brown/Eyeliner/Disasteradio Bandcamp: https://disasteradio.bandcamp.com/musicbrb album physicals/downloads: https://mypetflamingo.bandcamp.com/album/brbTV2 Bandcamp: https://television2.bandcamp.com/ Hosted on Acast.
