What our staff has to say: “As a kid who grew up watching the Windows fish and brick maze screensavers loop infinitely, this record of 90s PC soundscapes is oddly nostalgic. Listening to this compilation is like being on hold with CompUSA or waiting for your Microsoft Encarta software to load. It’s the music you never noticed but you’ll always remember – synthetic and unobtrusive. If you’re into vaporwave, mood music, or anything obsolete tech related, this is the comp for you.” – Hannah

As escapism from corporate banality turned the corner in the ‘90s, a new generation of vibrant, software generated soundscapes emerged. Communal access to the internet propagated the new hive mind of ideas online, giving way to smoother, stress-free textures. The PC revolution opened the gateway to ray-traced playgrounds of color and light, allowing for visions of utopic proportions to manifest themselves on screensavers far and wide. Boot up your machine, load the software on this floppy diskette, and drop out of a reality bounded by the physical laws of the universe.

Numero 95 is the soundtrack to the screen saver fever dream we’re all trying to climb back into. Eight droplets of proto-vaporwave, synthesized in vinyl (or digital) form, fresh from Numero’s archive of forgotten sounds. Are you looking for that half way point between smooth jazz and new age? Mac and PC? Quantum Leap and the X-Files? This software is for you.

Housed in a replica floppy diskette, Numero 95 explores an early computer music unbound by scene or region. Eight solo pioneers vibing out at home in their headphones, traveling as far as the sound card would allow. This is music that barely escaped the hard drive and yet percolates at the edges of the algorithm 30 years later.

Welcome to Numero 95.
