Chuck Person - Chuck Person's Eccojams Vol. 1 (Cassette, 2010)

 

If any of you by chance stumbled upon the wonderful videos/music by the youtube user sunsetcorp(http://www.youtube.com/user/sunsetcorp) and you love what you've heard(Nobody Here, Angel, Demoral ect.) then you must check out this release. I purchased it a week ago, and it just arrived, and I am so happy I have the songs I heard on youtube on cassette. I can tell right now I am going to wear this cassette down.

I really really like "Nobody Here" but none of the other songs at all.

bump - surreal seeing this post having one reply while the genre it spawned is like at 80+ pages

 Good find

spore was waaaaay ahead of us all!

Makes you wonder how much more undiscovered or ignored threads with great music there are :)

happy accident while searching for something else, it doesn't matter anyway (You know it's just too little too late)

haha this is funny, said tape in the OP goes for ridiculous amounts on discogs.

*buys copies of every single album Spore has ever reccomended*

Yeah $400 is typical. tape distro Tomentosa found a copy and sold it for that much in less than a day. I know a guy who spent 3 figures on it partly because he didn't want to to be flipped anymore.

Lazy question: is there currently a way to legally download this, preferably in lossless?

no, try slsk

Legally no but there's such a fanbase that multiple tape rips have emerged, in fact IIRC the more common rip floating around is a little slower than the intended speed and in the wrong pitch. Tape decks do that if the motors are a bit off. 

 

This is the best one, Asterite Edition: the uploader ripped using a Nakamichi and then time-stretched adjusted to match the sunset corp tracks uploaded on youtube by 0PN. There's a dead link there but a .flac copy should be around the interwebs.

Link removed - Soz .... I know it's rare and that but is still copyrighted material so we can't link it here ...

The long-released 256k rip is all I've ever seen or heard

 

you'd think one of the geeks who own a copy would've made a decently set-up lossless rip of it by now, but hey, maybe doing it like that ^ is the true vaporwave way.

The rip I posted about did that. Remastered, pitch-corrected, and released in both 320 and flac from .wav tape rip off a high-quality Nakamichi.

Thanks a lot for the details guys, I’m on it…

Digital copy coming out!

 

Apparently some asshat was selling a rip of it on bandcamp so 0PN is going to sell an official digital rip of it. I suppose that means there wasn't a digital master of the album around?

...and here it is !

Seems just a touch too 'spensive to me (especially in the current terrible USD to GBP conversion rate) - Would expect those prices for a physical copy

Careful there m8, that website emits mad 'seems-legit' vibes, like no link-back to an official channel (yet pilfering one for it's url - pointnever.com) and a carefully worded "copyright" of  "© 2016 ONEOHTRIX POINT NEVER - MERCH."

 

Sorry Miss Nicks, yr royalty check's gonna have to wait 

The link got tweeted (well retweeted the below) by the man himself so probably legit (either that or he retweeted the link in shock at the gall of someone ripping him off in such an extravagant way)

 

I want to believe, but I'll wager this is an interloper trying to make a quick buck off the OPN fanbouillabaisse by propping up a just-convincing-enough storefront.  And then some (probably unpaid) neu-media intern picks it up as being on "OPN’s site."  Check out the root domain "bigcartel.com".  It's exactly the kind of place to set up an operation like this.

 

Sorry, I misread the part about who retwit whom, and yeah I'd also guess it was re-tweeted cynically. How can Daniel get ripped off if he can't make money off it himself?  I'm no IP law buff but I can think of no possible way for an official release of this (without investing absurd amounts of cash and time that could never be recouped in sales).

Was there really an "original" tweet? Dainel pls

 

go here http://pointnever.com/ and click on 'merch'

 

it's good to be wary of scams but this is legit

I stand corrected.  Guess I remain wary from the fake bandcamp that had it up for about a day a few years back.
 

Good luck selling this Danny boy, and hold on Stevie, that royaltee check coming girl

Aye I remember that - Made me discover lots of cracking Vektroid stuff that claimed to be the same person: https://vektroid.bandcamp.com/ (including my favourite of any eccojam-esque loop, very Caretaker esque actually: https://vektroid.bandcamp.com/track/forever )
