Quiet Storms, by Hallmark '87 9 track album

#signalwave
"Your dad switched the TV to the Weather Channel, but you barely mind. You stand at the sliding glass door, looking at the smoke-black sky and branches whipping in the wind. You are suspended in time, between text-to-speech and new-age music, between daylight and the deluge."—Luke

３ａ.ｍ.Ｓｉｇｎａｌｓ, by International Telecom 13 track album

#signalwave
"Why is listening to music at 3 a.m. such a liminal experience that both The KLF(in 1991) and IT(in 2024) wrote about it? Not sure, but while The KLF uses acid house, IT deftly uses forgotten broadcasts and late-night-drive radio. This is so smooth, peacefully funky, and melodic"—Warpfan

川杨河, by MoeprFET 10 track album

#signalwave
Pedestrians, buildings, the morning mist breathes,
Born from the Grand Canal.
Based on that mysterious ecological network,
Hidden veins nourishing the land.
A mirror of water in this nature with the Chuanyang River,
In this modern city.

Video World, by Video Interface 30 track album

#signalwave
What a wonderful world brought by TV. Something crystal, something sentimental, and something feels like in puzzle games. You can travel through the plurality of worlds on TV.

"Thru' my TV, through my TV. All my memories come."

event horizon, by テッセラクト 14 track album

#signalwave
"Through the labyrinth of unused corridors and derelict vehicles, haunting melodies filled the air, bouncing off crumbling concrete and oxidized metal. The virus, a remnant of lost cultures and dreams, infused the circuitry with a poignant reminder of past aspirations."

The mixture of the sound and album cover create such a soothing, nostalgic yet heart-tugging sadness as it creates this feeling of loosing your care-free days of youth and the feeling of one day "placing your toys down for the last time"

bye bye, by tani 1 track album

#signalwave
"bye bye/ make believe" is a gorgeous, yet soothing 1 track piece that transports you intime to a childhood day you may or may not once ever had.

代替仮想世界, by Audio Venture Corp. 15 track album

#signalwave
"As a piece of the ever growing genre of signalwave, 代替仮想世界 (Alternate Virtual World) has a lot to offer in how it approaches the sound in a short burst of time, expressing ideas only for as long as they need to be seen before showing off the next one."

Forum, by Ｋａｎａｌ Ｖｉｅｒ 50 track album

#signalwave
Ｋａｎａｌ Ｖｉｅｒ is one of a German signalwave project by Ｓｐｏｒｔ３０００.
"For me this is modern experimental electronic musick from deutshland creating a great nostalgic atmosphere. after Modern Talking now Kanal Vier. Dieter B. is not amused."—Michaela Kaufmann (Shin Se Kyung)

早安中国, by 卫星广播 18 track album

#signalwave
“Millions of people, millions of mornings, I could never see.”
This words just remind me of Lu Xun, who wrote, "Beyond boundless lands and oceans, countless souls are all connected to me," though this sounds even darker. China is a Asleep Country, a place brimming with hope and despair.

Having selected the offerings, you watch the tedious world still have faith(信仰) in rotation, and so you too, following the record, spin around, around, around...

夜明けが訪れる, by t e l e p a t h テレパシー能力者 9 track album

#slushwave
This world's most despairing distance, is the distance between your reality and the Virtual Dream Plazal(仮想夢プラザ). The scorching sun's pool evaporates time; you from illusion awaken, wanting to re-distill time into water. The dimness and decay you crave never come.

In a telephone booth, a pedestrian hurries to grasp a lucky number before the next chime of the clock. Meanwhile, you sit before an IBM, pondering how to seize that other world from between the elusive, merging lines of time's reality and illusion.

エンドレスエイト, by Blank Episode 8 track album

#ambient
An amazing work by dotnds.

PW:
You are like a forgotten old newspaper, with only the invading branches offering a hand in greeting. The window's grid lines possess no camera's function; they are merely an extension of the floor tiles, melting away with the ice cream of that long-past day.

Beyond The Realms, by Replicating Patterns 40 track album

#signalwave
This is a very classic symbol of Vaporwave sculptural aesthetics, and combined with a nostalgic Poolcore scene.The title seems to be a distant echo of Infinity Frequencies's classics "Between Two Worlds," shaping a very reverent, ethereal, and meditative atmosphere.

· • 夢 ᑢⱤᏋΛT̴ටЯ ට̳F ĐᖇƎΛM̲Ƨ 夢 • ·, by memorykeeper7 10 track album

#signalwave
memorykeeper7 is one of my favorite slushwave artists. With his alias ᧁlöm∂α mᎥɳɳҽn, he explored a new genre – dungeon slush. Is the sound on this album perhaps what's being called 'signal slush'? It sounds like a good idea.

日記, by セルシオ 11 track album

#signalwave
A cherished classic, deeply loved. It feels as though I've journeyed from a village to a quietude within the woods, settling upon the steps of a temple. Slanting sunlight, languid and warm, filters through the bamboo grove, while dewdrops shimmer, delicate jewels upon the maple leaves.

Vendredi, by CANAL+ 16 track album

#signalwave
"One of the best climatewave albums ever. Some head bopping stuff."—CT57
My preferences: 08/11/13/16 (the hidden track: Au dessous de)

TCR 00 04, by 𝙑𝙃𝙎 𝙏𝘾𝙍 8 track album

#signalwave
The artist is mostly known as KENMORE Classic, who has many projects for signalwave, mallsoft, barber beats, even dungeon synth. You can find some albums sounds "more vapor/slushy than signal", but it still have a strong signalwave aesthetics. The fourth album is my favorite one.

Pacific Broadcast, by Meteorological Agency 56 track album

#signalwave
As lovely and beautiful as the first one in Aquablanca.

Original text

Night Coverage, by Meteorological Agency 27 track album

#signalwave
An ambient orchestral odyssey blending nature’s whispers (rustling night) with human traces (mechanical waters). Tensions rise in urban glimmers, dissolve into twilight melancholy, then cycle anew via motifs that erase time—eternal nocturne where midnight mirrors dawn’s déjà vu.

THE SOUND OF HOPE, by World's Last Chance 9 track album

#signalwave
World's Last Chance represents a noise scene of signalwave. The album creates a picture: a small wooden cabin in the post-apocalyptic suburban outskirts, with a raging thunderstorm outside. An old radio in the corner of the living room keeps switching stations due to signal interference.

峰 (Topography), by 巡天 (Sky Survey) 5 track album

#signalwave
巡天 (Sky Survey) is also one of the ICMASA's aliases. The Chinese traditional scene is quite similar to 翠柏's 回憶往昔. ICMASA refers to "电"(ESIAFI 1) and "雾"(CT57), and we can see both of them in a one picture: electric (电) towers and wires across through the mountains of frogs (雾).

channel tuning, by antenna decay 9 track album

#signalwave
i'll hold your cold solar panels with the touch of the void. we can watch the stars surround us with the dim glow of hope. no matter how accurate my camera is, it will never capture how perfect you are. we'll be here for a long time, and until we fall, we will live on together: for life.

画面 interrogation, by victory over death 15 track album

#signalwave
"vod knows how to create a mysterious world similar to the likes of infinity frequencies but victory over death steps it up with a way better atmosphere and more compelling concepts that feel very true to the artist. This record disturbed me and relaxed me. I enjoyed every minute."—CT57
