AMG Review of Visual Audio Sensory Theater
Greg Prato
All Music GuideOn the debut album by VAST, titled Visual Audio Sensory Theater, the listener is introduced to the many talents of one Jon Crosby. With its roots in Nine Inch Nails-like soundscapes and reminiscent of Type O Negative's mellower moments, the ingredient that sets VAST apart from its contemporaries is Crosby's experimentation with samples not yet touched upon in ock music. Some of the material sampled on the debut includes the Bulgarian Female Choir and the Benedictine Monks of the Abbey of Saint-Mauer, plus the use of an actual 18-piece orchestra, to boot. The album is an intimidating listen the first time, but the rich textures created are quite impressive, with standout tracks being "Here," "Touched," and "Temptation." Lars Ulrich of Metallica has praised the album as "one of the best debut albums I've heard in a long, long time," and lovers of ambient electro-ock will undoubtedly agree upon hearing Visual Audio Sensory Theater.

The perfect album to listen to during this time of year for me has always been VAST's first album or any of their albums really. And it was perfect timing that I got to see them just a week ago live. I must say that it was one of the best concerts I've ever been too. I swear I was in euphoria when they played the song "Touch". If you haven't heard it, then go listen to it....really, close y...
