I am the other VAST fan on the list. Thanks for the heads-up. It's been a
while since Music for People came out.
Toodles.

From All Music Guide:
VAST - "Visual Audio Sensory Theater"
On the debut album by VAST, titled Visual Audio Sensory Theater, the
listener is introduced to the many talents of one Jon Crosby. With it's
roots in Nine Inch Nails-like soundscapes and reminiscent of Type O
Negative's mellower moments, the ingredient that sets VAST apart from it's
contemporaries is Crosby's experimentation with samples not yet touched
upon in rock music. Some of the material sampled on the debut includes the
Bulgarian Female Choir and the Benedictine Monks of the Abbey of
Saint-Mauer, Cleraux, 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-rock will undoubtedly agree upon hearing
Visual Audio Sensory Theater. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide
VAST - "Music for People"
VAST's Jon Crosby is mysteriously alluring -- the dark's scene artistic
poet. And on his sophomore release Music for People, he molds his one man
show of elaborate classical orchestration and shadowy industrial layers
into another enigmatic piece of cathartic wizardry. Music for People is
haunting and vividly edged with heavy metal elements and Crosby's somber
vocals. It's cutting with Crosby's use of the Bulgarian Voices, his
signature chanting backdrops made famous on his debut Visual Auditory
Sensory Theater. "What Else Do I Need" and "Song Without a Name" showcase
the dismal impressionistic view in which Crosby has aimed to create:
harmonies so lushly sculptured into a new metal sound. It's not raging,
yet it's angst-ridden with bittersweet tongues of love and deception. "The
One Alive" is reminiscent of goth-rock's Sisters of Mercy, brooding along
to the band's 1985 cut "Marian." "Lady of Dreams" and Free" illustrate
Crosby's therapeutic nature. He's oddly similar to Nine Inch Nails' Trent
Reznor, for his material appears to be an outlet for his mind's
distractions and frustrations. But his compositions do not solely reflect
him. Music for People is bizarre and beautiful in capturing social apathy.
