Who can explain Mallsoft vibes? It has something to do with nostalgic feelings of the mall as a kid. For me, in the late 80s and early 90s. Going shopping with your mother and being bored and sitting on the floor of some women's clothing store. Opening your Transformers toy and playing with it to occupy your time. Maybe years later the same mall, going to Babbage's with your friend and looking at some games. Doom II for PC. It feels like these times existed in a holy space and now the modern age has corrupted it. These vaporwave sounds are the only way to remind yourself that this wasn't some half remembered dream but an actual point in time that existed, even if we can now only experience a poor facsimile.

I know that feeling. Going from being bored at some women's clothing store to experiencing absolute bliss after buying a new toy. Those 2 hours seemed to last a whole lifetime. I remember returning from those long summer holidays and feeling back home as soon as I saw the mall. Now, reaching 30, the mall is still a safe place for me. Sometimes I just go there and wander around with no purpose. In many ways, I'm still that same scared child being guided by his mom's hand.

Thanks, because it looks small in the photo

I was still young in the late 2000s. We lived in a big city that often got cold during the winter, so without a park to take me to, my parents would hop in our old 4Runner and take me to the mall and I remember walking around sears and other now defunct stores. It was a time when people weren’t buried in their phones, and in many ways, everything still had a classic feel to it. I want it back, and I want to experience it properly, entirely on my own without my parents, but it’ll never happen and all I have are the sweet sweet memories.

I`ll copy/paste my review on BC: Maaaan! I can eeeeasily say this ＭＡＬＬＳＯＦＴ release can be next to the legendary albums like "Palm Mall" or "슈퍼마켓Yes! We’re Open". However this one is the tru real deal in all senses, 'cause it doesn't even need the people walking/talkin in the background to show its identity, since the tunes are so powerfully bonded with the soul of the mid 80's/early 90's shopping malls, and that is simply superb, narcotic and immersive. Simply over 9k. Go and get a copy. Support 385North. (:

Sorry, but I just have to say....those escalators look especially menacing. If they had a voice, they would say "Come in and stay a while, peruse at your leisure", then after a few minutes you come to the realization you are being pulled under with no chance of escape. Forever stuck in M A L L S O F T madness.

I wonder how those escalators work. I never seen curved escalators.

Its a weird vibe to be in a jazzy shopping mall alone. Such a specific genre

I can almost feel the smell of recently washed mall bathroom stalls. MOAR MALLSOFT PLZ

I really love Mallsoft and Vaporwave (especially originals like Vaperror's) and I understand sampling but this is 100% a vaporwave'd rendition of the and it's kinda appalling to see people profiting from this creditless sampling I mean, the ENTIRE album here is based off that actual album. All the person did here was just to add some slow effects to the music, deepen the bass slightly and add reverb for that mallfeel. God I feel bad for those jazz artists

Totally agree . The original artists / muscians should be credited since without those compositions this upload here wouldnt exist. I love the Mallsoft vibe and all the uploads per that BUT lets be honest Track manipulation is not like creating the original from nothing !

I LOVE "Escalator システム"!! Brings back the good times of skipping school with friends to go to the mall and just spending the whole time there worrying. :D

It’s sad when I look back at old vaporwave uploads on KZread and then look at the artists current Bandcamp to see they have fallen into obscurity and no one cares anymore but I suppose that’s the way music works. Everything must fall into obscurity and be forgotten.

there definitely needs to be more mallsoft uploads on this channel

Man. This is just the type of music i would hear in my dreams. Love this music.

I have been to a mall in Yokohama city, it had such unique vibes. Shiny escaltators and reflective pearl white floors, feels like your gliding along whilst shopping.

Track 2 (Fiji Water Fountain) sounds like a mall getting cleaned by some advanced washing system after a day's end, I like this futuristic mall, it's so S H I N Y

For the curious, this is the New World Daimaru in Shanghai, China.

The best music to hear even when your falling asleep.. thank you for sharing 💜

Pretty amazing.

definitely one of the best mallsoft albums there is. extremely hard to find an album that is similar to this, very unique sound and atmosphere.

It’s like in Percy Jackson when they almost get trapped in the casino but it’s an 80s mall and instead of shots it’s food samples

this one is to me the best Mallsoft album, next to Hologram Plaza

thanks vapormemory!

Damn this has some sexy smooth-jazz vibes inside.

What a find, this is really good.

I can't tell if I don't want this mall to be real, because of how surreal it is, or if I really want it to be real, just to ride on those spiral escalators. This place is so beautiful and I think I do want to visit it!

Reverberation is too sharp and flat

You're not Japanese, you've never been to Japan, you've never lived in Japan, even a dumb mall is an attraction to you just because it's in Japan, and if you ever visit/visited it, it's still a memory of an exotic place rather than a piece of daily capitalist routine. From the philosophical standpoint, the mall in your district is more Vaporwave than this one, and that's a FACT.
