I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t stumbled upon it myself but Murfreesboro is making some great Vaporwave. The latest from Success Factors hits on all the right production aesthetics (visually and aurally) – reverb-y sax solo’s, MIDI galore and the feeling that you need to rewind the VHS tape when you’re done watching. Somehow the saturated nostalgia vibe doesn’t wear on me, it puts me in a relaxed trance.Â
Which brings me to my only real complain about the collection of songs – the run time is entirely too short. Right when you’re being enveloped into the low bit-count VR world they’ve built, the song is over. This needs a remix, stat.
