Floral Shoppe (studio album) by Macintosh Plus

Looking back at my comment, I would say it's only derivative in the method of music making, not style in any way. That's what ridiculous about naming plunderphonics in a review: it's a method of making music, not a genre or a particular style. You can't say "oh it sounds like plunderphonics, I've heard all of this", because the term doesn't describe how it sounds, just how it was made. This sounds nothing like DJ Shadow or The Avalanches or Boards of Canada. I think what's great about this album is how it makes something very trippy and sinister out of pop songs. And that's the magic of sampling: making the result into something else entirely (something her countless copycats who just slow down and add reverb to songs). Still think it's an 8/10 though.

So relaxing, love ambient stuff like this

Pretty interesting quite honestly, and cool to experience it either from the perspective of a more ambient sort of thing as well as to see it as a cultural movement through vaporwave.

Plunderphonics? Someone saw M E L O N’s dumbass review. I get that it is kinda derivative with artists like Boards of Canada and DJ Shadow existing, but it’s clear that Vektroid put somewhat of a different spin to it. And the cultural impact is

Well there are some duds,but floral shoppe is a surreal view into the retro recession that never happened.

Meme aside, this album was a lot better than I was expecting
