Auteur of a range of ambient vapor-adjacent styles, Second∞Sight gives us their AUX picks

What's the first album you remember owning?

On vinyl I think my first grab was Palm Mall Mars by 猫シ Corp or 200% Electronica by George Clanton. In all honesty I don't quite remember. Might have been a cassette of one of my own releases but I don't count that.

What is your go-to party song?

When it comes to parties I lean heavy into synthwave, most of the time going with Timecop1983. Usually something from Reflections.

What's the last album you listened to?

Actually the last album I listened to fully was Taylor Swift's Midnight. It's a vibe, and it feels weird to say that because I generally don't care for pop but seeing as people like The Weeknd are going for that 80s aesthetic, I'm all here for it baby!

What is an album/song that always makes you feel happy?

Aw geez, that's kind of a hard one. There's a lot of songs that make me happy, ranging from prog metal to dream pop, rap to vaporwave or synthwave. Octavarium by Dream Theater always gets me going, as well as The Midnight's Endless Summer. Forever Free by Alphaville does something to me though not gonna lie. Makes me nostalgic for a time I didn't exist in.

If you could produce an already popular album in your style, what album would it be?

Now that's a question I struggle to answer. There are so many great albums out there. And the thing about Second∞Sight is that I don't really have a definitive style. I jump from classic vapor to mallsoft, slushwave to broken transmission. Recently I've been experimenting with genres outside of vaporwave like folk, shoegaze, dreampop and even a little prog rock/metal. But to answer the question I'd probably go with Dan Mason's Void in a Second∞Sight slushwave style.

What is an album that you will listen to for the rest of your life?

An album I'll listen to forever and ever till the day I die? Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence by Dream Theater. Both the album as well as the 8-part, 42-minute track that takes up the 2nd disc. I grew up playing drums and that was one of the songs I wanted to learn most.

What is an album you love that people might not expect you to love?

I don't know if it is a shock but I like most genres of music, except country mainly... but maybe an album I enjoy that some might not expect is Drake's Nothing Was The Same.
