This is THE definitive album in the realm of no-samples vaporwave. It’s not even a subjective take, name another vaporwave album period that was so important that a whole country decided to archive it for historical purposes.
The Eyeliner sound has always been consistently great from the beginning, but the tonality and instruments are the most consistent here, really showing off a love for MIDI-type kitsch.
There’s some ambient moments, some jams, but never a low point to speak of. Cardian Matsu
This album is a nostalgia trip though the 90's era of computers. Vaporware, interactive demos and shareware. Along with early CGI videos the hardware at the time could never render in real time. Its like clicking your way though game full of pre-rendered graphics. ArkMel
The soundtrack to indie game “Cottage Quest” is a marvel of pointillist synths and chiptune influence—charming and catchy all at once. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 6, 2023
