The Landscape Channel was patient zero (or one) in the vaporwave epidemic and this YouTube fan channel (started in 2019) has archived some videos and full albums they released. TLC was set up in 1988 by Nick Austin of Beggars Banquet to pair relaxing videos with “ambient music,” not a term that would be used for these tracks now. According to this 2000 article in The Argus, Austin got some of his screensavery images by filming “the flowers in his front garden and the Sussex countryside.”
