This is like maximum 80's cringe... I say that as a child of the 80's... I'm half tempted to cut this up and try and build some sort of vaporwave track. Seems tailor made for vaporwave.
Oh wow. This is exactly why people were trying to require a license to use a synthesizer. Maybe it gets better ?? [1] It could probably be clipped into something good though, yeah.
OTOH, when the piano hits, Ripples feels so much like I'd Do Anything for Love for a bit, but predates it by six years.
[1] 3 minutes in, I'm pretty sure the answer is no.
Wouldn't releasing an album during that time be quite risky because of the ongoing legal issues with Apple Corps[1]? In 1991 Apple legal was so paranoid that they even worried about the names of Mac OS system sounds[2].
This looks like something that was handed out at a WWDC or similar conference around that time, especially with the inclusion of the "Apple ][ Forever!" song. It was never for sale.
That said, I miss the Garamond era of Apple design and marketing. It brings back a lot of memories.

I guess stuff like this is what happens when your marketing department has too little to do.

This leaves me without words, and I only listened to the first track.
Hard to deny culture has gotten less optimistic when you see stuff like this.
They were certainly over optimistic about "Apple II Forever"!
We’re making it out of Cupertino with this one.
