Strolling through the empty malls of a non-existing past. Diving in the waters of an alternate future. "Good Morning America" will soothe all our worries and leave us wandering forever, in a high-like state, in the Virtual Plaza.
This is the latest effort by the great 猫 シ Corp. in the Mallsoft realm. Clocking shy of half an hour, this album has everything that makes Mallsoft what it is.
The overall sound quality of this album could be described as "hazy". The treatment applied by Mr. Corp. gives the tracks in GMA a feeling of listening to them from far away, like in a distant dream. The choice of source material is focused mostly on mellow muzak samples, although on some tracks, the choice leans towards more poppy material.
The whole album was recorded on a VHS tape and then recorded back into a PC, as we can see here. It all contributes to creating this distant, far removed atmosphere. At the time of writing there is no available physical medium of obtaining this album, although there may be a cassette reissue in the near future.
All in all, this is a great piece for all of you Mallsoft enthusiasts. Dive into it and let yourselves be transported into the vastness of the Virtual Plaza.
Score 10/10
