Album Review

Jon Crosby and his one-man project VAST always seemed like a bizarre fit in the major-label world, so it should not seem surprising that his fourth album is an indie release. What's unusual about Turquoise & Crimson is that this two-disc set was originally released as a pair of download-only albums on Crosby's website starting in 2002. Based largely on fan feedback, Crosby transformed the best of these demos into 2004's Nude. Turquoise & Crimson, then, is a belated official release of the 22 original demos in their unvarnished state; as such, these songs tend to be rawer and more immediate than Crosby's three previous albums (including Nude itself), which tend to polish the rough edges off of his Nine Inch Nails-meets-Echo & the Bunnymen version of industrial mope rock. Here, songs like the epic ballad "Winter in My Heart" are stripped of their sometimes suffocating over-production, and are far stronger for it. Though naysayers will find Crosby's essential weaknesses unchanged — foremost among them a stentorian vocal style that combines the worst affectations of both Creed's Scott Stapp and Bauhaus' Peter Murphy — Turquoise & Crimson is essential for VAST fans.

Vast Music

Vast in my opinion is one of the most underrated artists out there . He is in deed one of my favorites out there . As for this album I almost didn't buy it since I had most of his music on other albums . But then I heard it . The one thing with Vast to me is his music never gets overplayed and it always leaves me mezmorized in deep thought . Love this album . Love his music. Highly recommended .

Great album...

VAST has been my favorite band ever sense I discovered thier first album "Visual Auditory Sensory Theater." This album is of equal quality (though I'd still have to say thier first album as well as "April" are thier best). What I'd mainly like to say though is that iTunes is ripping you off. You can get this album from VAST's very own website for download... oh, and its only $5.98, not the $20 that apple provides.

VAST is comprised of one man and one man only: Jon Crosby. The songwriter grew up in Humboldt County, CA, and was profiled as a promising guitarist in Guitar Player Magazine at the age of 13. He was nearly signed to the guitar-based label Shrapnel, but he turned down the offer and focused on honing his songwriting chops instead. Crosby soon left high school to do home study, and he began assembling a band in order to perform some demos he recorded all by himself, under...
