Great record but not really new or upcoming as it came out summer of ‘22 if i recall.
Glad to hear from a fellow Pathway appreciator. It truly is the greatest achievement in vaporwave. Pathway surpasses other pillars of the genre and plays on a wider more expansive field somehow as a plain ol *great record* I really rate it.
Diva’s Paradise is a worthy follow up to the perfection of Pathway. My enjoyment of it has grown and expanded over the past year. It’s a darker atmosphere than Pathway. My preschool aged son likes to listen to it with me while he doesn’t respond to Pathway much at all. A year later and I feel even more fondly that upon intial release, a good sign of good work.
One complaint: THE EXTREME SHARP HIGH END. Diva’s Paradise lights up my tinnitus like wildfire. I have to be choosy about where and when and at what volume I listen to it. Heaphones, out of the question. I keep intending to make a custom rolled off personal remaster so I can jam it more and more casually. It lights my ears up like few other things do. Wackies tracks, Mark Fell’s work. The tambourine in Simon and Garfunkel singles.
Still, a great record!!
