Thank you for uploading!
Pad, you've gotta check out eefullanizess.
The actual room from the album cover is in an art museum named Neue Staatsgalerie in Stuttgart Germany. The image from the album cover is taken from the VHS recording of the documentary "Een open monument - Neue Staatsgalerie, Stuttgart"

wow, thank you for this!
@@PadChennington
Love it! Thanks for this man.
Dang thanks for the info
No. Nothing exists. Trust me.
HI DAD
@@PadChennington 👋
Ok dad
that is true
I wish...
I actually wrote an essay in school about one of their tracks and the artwork, I played on the backrooms and what it’s senses were like; how it smelled, how it tasted, how it’s seen, and how it’s heard. it ended up being 3 pages and ended up giving me an A+. My teacher ended up loving it so much she wanted a novel of it, and my classmates found it so interesting. But that was my old school, and the files have been completely lost. I’m still thinking about it and how sad I am that I don’t have the “novel” that I wrote anymore.
Damn dude.
Maybe your teacher still has a copy?
do try to remember some things you've written!! and write them down, they dont want to be forgotten
Try getting in contact with your teacher again? She might still have it.
Infinity Frequencies was always one of my favorite projects. This album is insane. Shrines hit me into a different dimension when i heard it first too
shrines is so underrated. the first song lost dreams always gives me tons of nostalgia of my early childhood.
Liminal spaces are so fundamentally united with the vaporwave aesthetic and everyone knows it but nobody knows why
Same sort of feeling. That strange, non-existence; something WAS here, but now it’s gone. It’s something that seems (or sounds in the case of vaporwave) familiar but it’s just off, and drousy-feeling. For example; seeing a once-populated mall now dead and abandoned in weird lighting that makes the rooms look unfamiliar.
I've a theory behind it... But is a bit complicated
This may have already been said but they both seem to be related to hauntology and being outside of time. There’s an aspect of that to it and a lot more but I’m not articulate enough to go into detail. Samuel Beckett play locations create the same feeling e.g. the skull room in End Game and the surrounding waste land.
its related to one of the fundamental concepts of the genre being to represent a time/place that doesn't exist or promising a future we never got
because both trap us in the futility of comfort creeping towards a dark underbelly of angst
We gotta get Geometric Lullaby to press the computer trilogy
that would be dope, imagine a box set!
@@PadChennington maybe, they didn’t do one for the groceries trilogy so I think they could do either or but who knows
AGREED 😭😭😭😭
@@PadChennington there was a computer trilogy boxset made before, they fit inside of a 3ds printed computer if my memory serves me right.
Yes yes yes yes yes yes
One of my curiosities about Vaporwave is that where and how did they get the pictures on their album covers and the samples (ie Virtual Dream Plaza)
ikr the virtual dream plaza covers are some pretty obscure shit
The one VDP cover is the entrance of the Miyazaki Ocean Dome, the actual image used comes from this video: czcams.com/video/mzXoK15Ky2Q/video.html
Inbetween 2 worlds has gotten me through a lot of tough times this year, that plus a night drive in an area I’m not familiar with is something to behold
And the statues are works of Giulio Paolini, an artist first associated with arte povera. He uses reproductions and casts of actual antique statues that can be found in classical museums. He often puts a real statue face to face with a plaster one (like the one on the cover) to question the perception of sculpture by itself through the history of art, from Antiquity to contemporary times. I think we can find similarities with vaporwave: music questions itself through the prism of its own material + how we, the humans of the 21st century, receive and perceive the music of times gone by.
This was a very special video for me to watch. I was a childhood friend of Infinity Frequencies, and although we grew apart over the years, we have still remained in contact. He showed me some of the music he was making and I was instantly enchanted with it. And to see his work get the recognition it deserves makes me feel so proud of him and the calming, slightly eerie, but nonetheless reflective and thought-provoking music he produces. I wish nothing more than continues success in his endeavors asnd yours as well!
The videos keep getting better and better so excited to see where your channel will be in 3 years
thank you so much dude, means a lot! :) cheers to the future!
Four 😉
Liminal Spaces are probably my favorite form of photography. And this album is right up my alley.
the cover and the name of the album itself reminds me so much of twin peaks red room and the concept of no place
Between Two Worlds remains an important album in my life. I cant remember exactly how I stumbled across the album, but I remember the feelings that I felt when listening to the album were... so different from what I felt on a daily basis. If I could describe these feelings up in one word, it would be nostalgia. Each song takes me to a different place, a place that feels oddly familiar and yet, I have no recollection of whatsoever. This album to me is almost like what sleep paralysis would be like, its frightening and eerie but yet, you feel relaxed and calm. Each song is haunting and eerie but yet oddly ever so calming and relaxing, almost like a lullaby of an empty room, an empty art museum. It was an album that left a great impact on me and my life and had brought me comfort in a time in my life where hopelessness, despair, fear, guilt, worry, and suffering was all that I felt.
This album was always a comfort to me and to this day, it always will. A soft and gentle yet eerie and slightly dark album like a massage to my ears as I close my eyes and let my mind wander into the realms that it ever desires to seek within the labyrinth of Infinity Frequencies world. A world of mystery, emptiness, dimly lit rooms, halls, places that evoke images of memories and nostalgia long gone, and places where we fear to dread but have no choice but to keep going. It remains one of my favorite albums of all time and I am grateful to have stumbled across this eerie timeless masterpiece of a vaporwave project. No other album could ever EVER evoke the feelings that I felt within this album. Feelings of fear and of solitude but at the same time gives me feelings of comfort and security in a way and makes me feel all warm and cozy inside. For me, it's a balance of ying and yang, light and darkness, comfort and fear. Fear of what lies into the unknown in the dark, but also the curiosity that we have that we cant resist. So we dwell a little deeper into our decent. A decent that leads down the room, between two worlds....
Perfectly said. I have had a very similar experience with the album and can confirm -- it's enigmatic ballroom dance of eerie and comforting feelings is incredible.
This is such a surprise. I found Infinity Frequencies like half a year ago and been listening to this album since then. Perfect for studying or sleeping.
I'm honestly so glad you covered this. It's on my list of top albums, and I find myself listening to it whenever I'm going through self reflection. Good job, and thank you!
When you droppin’ that Everything at the End of Time by the Caretaker video Pad?
I love everything about this album and how it works with the artwork.
He’s already made a vid on it I would recommend checking it oht
coming very very soon, I promise! :)
Oh why did you mention that title? Instant paranoia and flashbacks coming back.
@@fluidified5354 why’s that?
Infinity Frequencies literally makes soundtracks for liminal spaces
damn infinity frequencies finally getting some recognition, deleted space has been my ringtone for years
I fucking love this album so much
certified classic!
Infinity frequencies is my second most listened to artist of all time, such beautiful music
Infinity frequencies just gives that feel of liminal space, that mystery and hidden darkness, it's oddly comforting
The place between is where we would find a moment of clarity. Under the light we see ourselves clearly, and the worlds on both sides being chaotic and confusing expressed by the darkness.
an amazing album i could say it's one of my favorite
definitely been on non-stop for me as of recent., such an intriguing listen!
Infinity Frequencies is the first ever vaporwave artisit that I discovered, his style is really distinctive than others and that's why I still listen to them.
"Antiques" and "Pulses" are my favorite of them all. It brings such nostalgia
Production quality on this video is insane, keep it up man
Infinity Frequencies is an absolute legend in the scene. Every release is a banger.
I was so excited to wake up to a new Pad video!! Thank you for everything you do You've pointed me towards so much music that I absolutely love now ❤
coming very very soon, I promise! :)
god i love infinity frequencies so much, you're so lucky to get an autographed copy! i should ask for one once the computer trilogy gets released
Ok I know this might be off the hook but you should do a video on the genre of Power Electronics. Feel like it be a perfect fit for this channel.
Ive been wondering where does that pic came from...
Infinity Frequencies was one of the very first people in this genre that I discovered, and right from the first time I knew there was something special about it. Yeah all their albums might just be looping sound tracks but despite this they manage to fill me with so many different emotions ranging from happy, sad, confused, frightened, curious, you name it. The albums covers they choose always fit the theme of that particular album super well, and Between two worlds has always been a particular favorite. Computer decay is also really good!
But I would highly suggest giving them all a listen 😉
I posit that for as much attention to Liminal Spaces, there should be something related to Liminal Time(s) as well - I'd also recommend listening to "Seraphim" by How To Disappear Completely, it was recommended after fulling listening to EATEOT by The Caretaker in its entirety. It found its way to a lot of people who listened to the full 6 hours of Everywhere at the End of Time, and you can find many listeners of it in the comnents of Seraphim and the rest of How to Disappear Completely's work
I agree, there’s a great album by Coil called ANS which captures this. It manipulated time in a way similar to a Tarkovsky film. The synth used on the album is the same type as used on some of the Tarkovsky soundtracks so it must be intentional.
Years later, it is still an emotionally gripping journey. Undoubtedly the best Infinity Frequencies album to date.
yay thanks so much for covering this album, i'm always so down to hear people talk about IF. one of my favorite artists of all time.
I discovered your channel in early June this year. And although I had of course heard of it, I had never paid much attention to vaporwave before this. Now, it is one of my favorite music genres.
Thank you Pad
@@PadChennington :)
I've been obsessed with Infinity Frequencies since I discovered Computer Death last year, and I managed to snag a vinyl copy of this album and Into The Light, then sure enough here comes Pad with a fantastic video on this amazing album!
Thanks for giving this the shoutout it deserves, it's super fun to be part of stuff like this.
Fascinating presentation, kids. I will definitely have a listen to infinity frequencies.
E n j o y !
You're script writing is on point! :)
This is one of those times I wish my memory wasn’t as good as it is. I can remember back to when I was 18 months old- possibly even farther. I’ve been in liminal spaces before sure, but I remember what they look like and very often they’re just furniture stores or hotel hallways. I guess that’s part of the reason I love them. I can guess where I’ve been in the images. Pad, I know that museum very well and you were in one of the dinosaur rooms, World of Birds, the stairwells, or even the Hayden Planetarium.
I love your videos so much. You have such an evocative way of describing these albums that is a journey in itself. Thank you for your amazing work.
Vaporwave is more alive than ever with pad chenningtons vids! Love u pad thanks for the endless discovery and entertainment you have given me!
Recently listened to this album in its entirety and really liked it! The vinyl looks so amazing. 😍
I also really like the theme you hit, as this summer I was hit with the crossroads to either continue taking advantage of my university's flexibility to complete a new BBA in Accounting, or if I should try to find a better paying job with the credentials I already have. Wound up pressing forward with an additional class, but am now wishing I had just continued the job search. 😅 At least a decision was made either way. As the statues of this album can attest, more is lost by indecision than wrong decision.
I honestly love this album on how beautiful it is… after listening to “Between Two Worlds” I started getting more into photographing liminality discovering new closed and open air spaces around my city… Imho it’s best to be played around a building with hallways or if you run a room closing your eyes n letting them drift outwards or if your walking alone at night…
Then I grabbed then entire discography of Infinity Frequencies except for the earliest two… have played them only when it’s the right timing for it…
I’ve never had my mind more open to the thought of playing music n photographing everything
❤
I recently discovered this album as well. The album was a symbolically divine experience.
Watch your vid since 2019 and I just can't stop relaxing listening to your voice
Ay it’s Big Daddy Paddy! Awesome work my guy. I always love waking up to a new vid. Keep up the kickass work broski
This album always makes me remind to everything about a Council of art in my country called "CONACULTA".
great video, IF is one of my favorite ambient and vaporwave artists out there 💿
All your videos are always such premier quality. Thanks!
Thank you dude ! Much appreciated, thanks for stopping by !
Amazing vid man, i enjoyed every moment of it
I had a feeling this album would become important when I first saw it listed on VaporMemory
Thanks for taking our thumbnail suggestions!
When I first heard it, I thought it was weak but with this new lens I might like it more. Thanks for the video, PAd.
glad you covered this release! easily one of my favorite IF albums ever next to the Computer Trilogy
You know what this album reminds me of? The old PS1 Tomb Raider games; that was stuck in my mind the entire ride through. A lot of the areas in that game have this aura of strange, eerie mystery between the silence and small musical stings as you explore. Even today, I still get this mild chilling unease when I watch footage of the games, and childhood me was legitimately scared.
Between Two Worlds threw me right back into that mindset. Very beautiful, yet very uncanny.
Amazing content as always. Thanks for helping keep vaporwave alive
:) my pleasure making these videos, thank you for stopping by and spending some time watching! Much love!
I need to finally listen to infinite frequencies! I keep seeing their albums on the yt recommendations and the album art looks really intriguing to me
Lovely album around many IF has released.
Also ordered a copy that should arrive soon - true vapor musthave ^^
Thanks for making all of these!
Sick! Glad you discussed Liminal Spaces. Between Two Worlds is a great album
Great video man, keep it up! Also where’s our everywhere at the end of time video?
You use such descriptive language it’s amazing
Yessssssssssss a Pad Chennington video about this 😁
This about to show up in everybody's recommended
That would be nice! Lol
This reminds me that I think Leyland Kirby is another godfather figure of the vapour+ scene along with Daniel Lopatin, James Ferraro and, to a certain extent, William Basinski.
I was obsessed with liminal when i started to think about them with nostalgia around the age of 17/18.
It reminded me of my childhood, when i went shopping with my parents or when i visited my grandparents in Canada as a kid. All these weird places. And all these liminal spaces i see from the US and Canada remind me of those times.
This is why i got obsessed with vaporwave and the aesthetics of it. So much so that i also started my own series of partings inspired by the liminal spaces i have around my town here in Italy after that some people noticed the resemblance of certain landscapes i painted.
one of the coolest phenomena around the internet and irl probably.
Its so weird, after your intro the first thing that came to mind in "Leyland Kirby - We, so tired of all the darkness in our lives". I do not know what it is but the album art seems sooo familiar and the music is the same. it freaks me out but at the same time is comforting...its so conflicting lol. I wish Pad released more content :( its a channel I love so much
0:40 That photo looks exactly like the building I took major exams in last year during college. So much so that I'm curious if it actually is.
"Liminal space-"
*alright that's enough for today*
Bell squaddddddddddd 💪😤
aaayyy how we doooinnn!!!!!
babe wake up new pad video with my niche music taste dropped
Those same few bars of La Campanella over and over again are gonna drive me fucking insane
I love dreaming up the profound from something seemingly vapid
You fulfilled my request to make an Infinity Frequencies video! My favorite song is "Move"
What a yummy treat, thanks Pad!
ayy you got it! happy friday!
i always find weird everytime i stand before the definition of "place between one destination and the next" but this is so subtle that i have to agree. i've always saw a sense of picturing something static out of a transition in this definition, which is not what i feel with liminal spaces. But... between a DESTINATION to the NEXT is a whole damn thing. my feeling of liminal spaces comes from my childhood, when i simply got much energy enough to pay attention to everything if the time was given. The liminal space is that weird sense that emerges from boredom when you keep yourself in a place for way longer than expected. You see everything in that same ambient for so much time, and you feel almost trapped because you know you have anything else to do. You have to keep waiting for your mom finish the shopping in that mall. You have to wait for your parents to pick you up at that kids party that got bored for a while just now. You just see everything. You can measure how old is that place. The place almost get a personality. You see it landscaping all that people interacting within this place that you almost can see the place interacting back. It suddenly becomes a destination, after all, you are there to see all of this... you are just waiting for the chance to find the next destination.
yooo i remember listening to this in college, like RIGHT before covid, great vaporwave release. the caretaker comparisons are accurate
I feel that between two worlds is a better capture of liminal space than eateot, between two worlds have a more late 20th century feeling that is more relatable to us than the decaying 1920s-1940s music of eateot. Eateot and the rest of The Caretaker's makes me imagine an old ballroom/mansion/hotel that has been abandoned but comes "alive" at night with the ghosts that refuse to leave the memories of their youth behind. Between Two Worlds on the other end makes me feel like being trapped in an empty office/kindergarten/mall that has hasn't been in use for a while but seems to still be operational with their fluorescent lights and air conditioning still on.
woah what? i literally just heard this album yesterday and now you make a vid about it :D
I’ve had this sci for story in my head for a while, which I don’t really plan to write, about a world where mars had been transformed into this grid structure after humans got there, and after the earth was deserted, the chambers were the last remnants of human civilization. I don’t know how, but I remember the album cover being an inspiration.
Wassup Pad
There was something about 8809... the architecture had only been comparable to the early spread period, but it felt very modern in comparison. Trade was common, yet the inhabitants did not consume much. Teaching and bureaucracy seemed natural for this setting. Pictures of art exhibits from this moon are shown below...
morphic change between focus rendering. When when the light ticks at a destination.
Over all
This album was perfect! I fell asleep I don’t know how many times to thins
For the megelophobic folks out there, what if that dark room in the back ground was actually large enough to contain the planet Jupiter?
come one man :(
i hope that the album title is a reference to "the space between two worlds" from the Samurai Champloo soundtrack. i do not know, but i hope so (ok whoops apparently not)
rock on, Pad
Missed these old album reviews!
The title of this video reminds me of Night Mind talking about the unfiction, This Room Does Not Exist.
Absolutely love that video... one of my favorite breakdowns on all of CZcams!
A bit of a misleading title, but great video! I'll check it out!
I wish there was a cassette release of this album
Infinity Frequency's work sounds like you're living in the 90s, just won an all-expenses-paid trip to Tokyo, and you're drunk on Suntory riding a taxi back to your 5-star hotel, where you collapse on the bed, turn on the TV and let all the commercials lullaby you from your stupor into a peaceful sleep.
i see a ton of liminal spaces, none of them makes me feel like i have been there
When the video started i thought it was going to play the half-life trumpets
chud pudding if youre reading this
youre a big inspiration to me and i prob woudlnt have entered the vaporwave scene and started a deathdream production side-project. :)
Infinity Frequencies, also known as Farnsworth Templeton III
Thank you for your great work here. I also enjoy EATEOT, specially the last part.
if you like infinity infrequencies then you should check out visions by sunset virtual! Very Similar
@Pad Chennington The video title makes me ask if you’ve ever watched the ARG “This Room Does Not Exist?”
yes! I have... love that thing lol... have you ever seen Night Mind's breakdown on it? really great stuff!
@@PadChennington I definitely have seen Nick’s review of TRDNE. One of the best Night Minds ever!
