BBJ's Dinner At Eight

 

One of the best records I have listened to this week comes from our very own Buzz Baby Jesus. I will let him explain.

 

"Vaporwave continues to interest me. 
 
There was a call for music for a live stream show on Twitch, another platform I'd never heard of, so I submitted an ambient album I'd just finished. It went over with the 30 people tuned in and one was purchased on Bandcamp. A first.
 
My music isn't vaporwave, but I thought it could go over because it was different, and close enough.
 
I was inspired to put together another album with this audience in mind. It has all my newest material mixed with some older orphans I thought would fit. I finished a couple tracks I'd started in 2012. Anyway, it received a lot of love.

"Dinner At Eight" has received over 6500 views so far."
 
Me again. I know ambient music is not for everyone, but I got completely lost in this record. There are stretches of absolute beauty, as well as enough subtle twists and turns that kept me focused on the journey. I hope you give some time to "Dinner At Eight" and allow it to unfold. It's a great piece of work and it, along with BBJ's other records, are available here.

But why does the Japanese title say "Dinner at 8:30"?
