VEGA - Well Known Pleasures (Full EP) [HQ Restored]

The full album/EP of Alan Palomo’s solo project “VEGA” before Neon Indian became a thing with the release of Psychic Chasms. These all 7 songs capture the early days of Alan Palomo, and his sound leading to the project and band we all know today “Neon Indian”. You could call this classic unreleased “Chillwave” or “Synth-Pop” from the good old late 2000s. That was over 12-13 years ago at this point, crazy right? well get ready to take on a nostalgic trip cause, i’ve also provided a few video recordings lip-synced to the songs of a few live performances i’ve been able to dug up from YouTube. So enjoy, this is the best quality ever retrieved from 2009 with a final mix of some songs you probably don’t remember hearing.

Man I’m so sad more people don’t know about this gem! Only this ep makes me feel how it does. I can only let myself listen to it when it randomly comes to mind! Every fan of Alan’s should hear this, great video.

This is unbelievably jamming. Vega Int’l Night School is a festival of goodness that I will never get over but I didn’t know about this! Wow!

[mikizzle]

I went to churchill with Alan, talented guy.

INCREDIBLE THANK YOUUU i randomly decided to look it up and im so happy i found your video. i thought this EP was lost to the past😢😢

[zandermercury]

Sometimes, I forget that Alan made some fire French house at some point.

[tokugawa]

Wow! Thank you for uploading this. No coincidence I decided to look it up after many years and you recently uploaded it.

[prb]

Dude, thanks for the upload! I used to listen to this album back in 2012 when I discovered Neon Indian and Miami Horror. Good fucking times.

I remember hearing some of this on Dinner With the Band and it sticking with me well after and then finding Neon Indian and realizing they were the same thing.

Thanks for compiling it's becoming hard to find so it almost feels like a fever dream. Some tracks are still on soundcloud as reuploads.

[bobbyhogo]

WOW I never heard that cut of "Fondly", THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[Tornadic]

Fondly is so beautiful ❤. Thanks for uploading this!

[bobbyhogo]

Thanks for preserving this stuff! I always wanted this and his Ghosthustler stuff on vinyl. It's also a shame that he didn't ever do a live album during his 2019 tour as I thought his sound and playing around with sounds had reached a level beyond the LP. Just his playing with the Korg MS20 night to night was worth having for posterity-sake.

[ronalcaropecho]

Thanks man, i was looking for these songs in HQ

[as-hamadheisc]

This is awesome man. Thank you so much for posting this.

[risefm]

I still cannot find some old VEGA tracks I used to jam. And know what? Maybe that's OK. Lost to that time in my life and will always hold them special during those years I got to enjoy them.
