Holy shit. Vektroid — the “vaporwave” pioneer known most popularly as Macintosh Plus, but also as Sacred Tapestry, 情報デスクVIRTUAL, Prism Corp, Laserdisc Visions, New Dreams Ltd., dstnt, and more — has just taken to Bandcamp to drop three new releases. Two of them are reworks of older material, New Dreams Ltd.’s Fuji Grid TV: EX (originally released in 2011 as Prism Genesis by Fuji Grid TV) and Sacred Tapestry’s Shader Complete (originally released in 2012 as Shader). But the third is an unreleased New Dreams Ltd. album called Sleepline, which features some truly gorgeous songs (several of which had appeared briefly on SoundCloud back in 2013).
Vektroid is one of TMT’s most influential artists and one of my all-time personal favorites. Drop TLOP and get on this now.
