Chuck Person – Chuck Person’s Ecco Jams Vol. 1 (2010)

July 12, 2021

Eccojams is considered a classic of the vaporwave genre, or least the initial movement. This makes sense as it has a lot of the tropes of the original projects, and can be compared in many ways to Macintosh Plus’s Floral Shoppe with its choppy, repetitive sampling and use of 80s pop songs playing at half speed (thereabouts).

I’m unsure if there ever was a Vol. 2, but Vol. 1 is a fairly lengthy record. There has been a lot more vaporwave out there that I have heard that I prefer, but I appreciate where this sits in the time line.
