Romance - Once Upon A Time

Out tomorrow.

"Romance pen an extended love note to Celine Dion, re-imagining the Canadian icon's cultural locked grooves as a set of post-vaporwave crybient zoners that are part OPN's timeless "Eccojams", part "Disintegration Loops” Basinski and part Malibu/DJ Lostboi on ice."

Now available on digital this morning too. Read the description and was going to dismiss this as a cheap bit of silly whimsy but something made me listen to the preview anyway and .... well the last track may well be my ambient track of the year already, simply devastating in its beauty.

Almost a bit too similar

Good spot, yeah definite likeness. Romance's version is like a @brisk(3six) remix/cover of that track !

Does this album live anywhere other than Bookmat? I can't find it. Samples sound dope!

Nice one, thank you man!

really digging the samples, concept reminds me of those 1958-2009 tapes though I'm not sure those were MJ samples 

nonetheless, it's nice to see someone take the eccojams method and apply it to more unabashed mainstream pop like Celine Dion and not just easier fodder like city pop or 80s synthpop deep cuts

Boomkat releases a vinyl edition with additional bonus tape.
