DREAM SWEET: Je vois que tu es revenu au « juste milieu »... tu as besoin d'apaiser tes soucis, jardinier.
BASIL: You're a lot nicer than any sea creatures I know... could you show me how to dance on the waves of the ocean?

So, get a load of THIS right? We’re minding our own watching questions pour in, and I, the most gracious of hosts, find an INTERLOPER! They were right there, on the beach! Some weird kid with a guitar sat there, paralyzed with indecision, before our resident sleeping siren decided to grace him with her presence. They were both babbling in some weird nonsense tones I couldn’t make sense of, and then the cowering fool dropped a mixtape as he stumbled off in search of a home. I tried to go after him, because what host DOESN’T invite a crybaby to an open “house,” but he rounded a corner and seemed to fall into the ground right after! Tough. D.S. took the tape so it could be saved for his grand return, but I don’t think he’s coming back - so I swiped off her, uh. Fins. And now we’re here! Hope it’s good, it’s hard to listen to waterlogged tape in my… condition.

Buuut... I don't think this was the only one, either. Maybe YOUR ragtag associates can piece that one together for yourselves, instead of making your handsome narrator do all the work! Heh heh heh...

[TKSBR x THE GAME] The Photographer's Love Song

Alola! This is going to be new news for the soundcloud audience/people who don't follow Aether Paradise that closely. During June 2023, it was decided that Aether Paradise would go under a rework to make the whole tourney better, including cutting down its roster from 24 to 16 characters and making the narrative more ensemble centric, focusing on the themes Pokemon Sun & Moon was trying to tell, along with other futureproofing things. This bracket track by BlueThunder was going to be used as the First Round of Aether Paradise. Support Blue wherever you can!! He is a really good artist!!!

While we do apologize for not updating the soundcloud side on this issue, we do feel like its for the best if Aether Paradise takes its time with the rework to make it best it can be. The goal is for AP to return in late 2024 but most likely 2025 will be when Aether Paradise returns. (Sadly not on soundcloud, this page will be retired after all the unused tracks are uploaded here along with a track to redirect people to the Youtube Page.) Not every track from Pre-Boot AP will be uploaded to Youtube. Though, there might be a few remasters here or there. Thank you so much for supporting Aether Paradise throughout the years. Alola!

(P.S.- Join the discord server to get updates on how the reboot is coming along.)

And so I’m calling you

Luminor dives into the darkness with Shadow Rising — a cinematic, dystopian trance anthem about embracing the power within. Heavy drops, haunting vocals, and a sound built for the midnight crowd.
