C A S I N O ☆★☆★☆ M A S T E R – ☆★☆ ボーナススピン幸運 !!!

Recommendation: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Wow, this hurts my head. ☆★☆ ボーナススピン幸運 !!!1 is as if ▣世界から解放され▣ were about digital casinos instead of… well, whatever it’s about.2 The first of two albums under the C A S I N O ☆★☆★☆ M A S T E R moniker is a plunderphonics exploration of half-minute (and sometimes less) samples of nineties club music and A WINNER IS YOU!! jingles that are best experienced with the headphones halfway pulled out. It represents one of the most experimental, out-there releases in the discography of TKX Vault, even though it came relatively early in the Dream Catalogue imprint’s lifetime.

The majority of the composition consists of clips of music interspersed with repetitive sounds of pachinko game-playing. There are a lot of repeated noises, especially a Japanese woman’s call at various points during play.3 The album is produced in ultra-mega lo-fi with a huge amount of bleedthrough, as if the sounds of a casino were interpreted by a 12-kbps landline codec. Very little of this is “music,” and ☆★☆ ボーナススピン幸運 !!! is one of the oddest albums ever put out by a major vaporwave label.

Listen to this in one go: ☆★☆ ボーナススピン幸運 !!! is only thirteen minutes long, and the track titles are more like expository text to read along during listening than they are delineations of any “songs” in the traditional sense.
