| VAST , a one-man project, is an ambitious effort akin to the Aphex Twin's ground-breaking experiments in ambient sound. Twenty-one year old John Crosby is an artist attempting to build something new from cast-off remnants of the past. VAST captures subtle moods of aggression and tenderness, contrasted with anger and repentance, swirling about in a rich cauldron of boiling passions. Here you find the rage and sorrow of Nine Inch Nails, the sweeping pathos of Raymond Watts and a generous pinch of the forgotten, epic majesty of The Moody Blues and E.L.P. Industrial purists will latch onto the man-as machine feel of "Here," the sadistic "Pretty When You Cry" takes a stab at becoming this year's "Closer" with the lyrics "I didn't want to fuck you baby/But you're pretty when you're mine/I didn't really love you/But I'm pretty when I lie." With numerous overtones to Catholicism, VAST is dark, disturbing, intense, lush, provocative, haunting and beautiful. | |||||||||||||||||
