Update 1st August 2025 - Looks as if BOTR has evaporated a second time. For seemingly no reason. Again. Which,honestly ticks me off so fucking much that the guy running it seemingly just doesn't care that it makes entire albums lost media. I'm too tired for this shit. If by sheer chance people are still looking at this page, you'll have noted that the link to my twitter doesn't work anymore; I killed that thing off a while ago and don't really have any easy access contact method anymore which...doesn't exactly help matters. If you have a Reddit account, bother me (u/sewermist) and I'll see it eventually. Alternatively comment on my Youtube channel (@whoisavie) or...message me on soulseek? I guess?? currently norfolkbranches on there.
To condense the previous two updates into one: Some links will now be dead namely the BOTR Revival links and theres also a probability that some of the MEGA links are also out of the picture too. I don't have the time to check them all and reupload them, please message me through one of the above methods for a reupload. Also still looking for FLAC versions of any of these albums; in particularly I'm personally after FLACs for Angel Activate.
If the guy who runs BOTR is reading this: You fucking suck, my guy. Stop deleting other peoples creative works just because you get bored of managing a bandcamp page that doesn't even need constant attention. Put everything back and fucking leave it there.

Back in September 2019, the popular niche electronic netlabel Beer On The Rug known for having a pretty diverse and interesting discography (even housing some early releases of the vaporwave genre) completely deleted their entire back-catalogue of albums on Bandcamp and all tracks on their Soundcloud page. In response, we set up this Archive page in an attempt to ensure everything was still available to people. Later on, on the 29th of October, it came back...except they only bothered to re-instate their last three releases and nothing else. We still aren't sure why this entire debacle happened to begin with, but we're going to try to keep this page going and updated, even if we forget about it occasionally. Everything linked below is in MP3 at 320k unless otherwise stated. These MEGA links are managed by us, so if any of them go down, please feel free to bother us on Twitter using the links below. If an artist has personally re-uploaded a release to their own Bandcamp page, we will link to that instead.
If you're wondering why Vektroid's albums don't have links outside of to her official Bandcamp pages, it's because her stuff is well and truly sorted with regards to mirrors and archived copies. All of her vaporwave work was immensely popular that we don't quite see much point in providing yet more mirrors to them. It isn't hard to find existing ones and meanwhile more than half of the BOTR back catalogue is still in limbo. Speaking of which...
We're still missing some stuff! If you have any of the albums not linked and wanna contribute, bother Avery on Twitter @coryoon. Whilst I am the main person updating the site, it must go without saying that this site would not be up without the work of my good friend Hwizzy. Not sure where they are on twitter these days, but half the credit of this place goes to 'em. Hit us up wth any missing release in v0/320k MP3 or .FLAC! Big thanks if you help out!!
