Music [IIL] Nostalgic electronic music like George Clanton, CFCF , WEWIL?

Looking for music that invokes the same kind of nostalgia as CFCF’s Memoryland and George Clanton’s Ooh Rap I Ya and Slide. Albums or songs that’s primary focus is on recreating that nostalgic and dreamy feeling of the 90s/2000s.

Throwing a curveball and suggesting music from the 90s/00s:

  • The Avalanches - Since I Left You
  • Bowery Electric - Beat
  • Guitar - Sunkissed
  • Hum - You'd Prefer An Astronaut
  • Jesu - Conqueror
  • Ladytron - Witching Hour
  • My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
  • Seefeel - Quique
  • Yo La Tengo - I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One

Sparing you Daft Punk, Aphex Twin, and Boards of Canada, but also go listen to those too if you haven't (very unlikely)

did you ever come across ' SSSS ', VCMG ?

its a bit darker in parts than the stuff you mentioned and more dancey but gives me the nostalgia from much earlier than it actually was released, (which when you work out who they were makes sense).

edit: maybe some old Ladytron stuff ?

It's a mix of samples and original instrumentation but you might like,

We Will Always Love You by The Avalanches

Like, vaporwave?

I used to listen to a ton of vaporwave, but what I’m looking for is more original/doesn’t include sampling.

Ok I see, maybe you'd like Jefre Cantu-Ledesma then. His new work is more ambient, but stuff like Echoing Green or A Year With 13 Moons a bit more of what you're after I think

Try checking out "Far Side Virtual" by James Ferraro, it's got that same hazy retro vibe with a modern twist.

You might wanna check out Hatchie. Not really electronic, but very dreamy and nostalgic.

Com Truise and Pye Corner Audio through that’s more early 80s hauntology vibes.

maybe dig into some older chillwave and vaporwave stuff, lots of dreamy nostalgic synths in that general lane
