I remember meeting John (the back bone of VAST) when I was around 15 when we all lived in Sonoma County. At that age I knew that this man was absolutly amazingly rich with musical inspiration and talent and I couldnt wait for him to break though. When I was visiting Spain I had his demo with me and even they loved it. I am in the army now in Korea and we have a radio station here called AFKN and his songs are getting more and more play time and is becoming a hit with many soldiers. Its a fantastic mixture of goth, rock, and symphony and well worth it. I have only listened to some of the songs via internet but all I can say is FABULOUS!!!!!! Please listen to this CD and his past CD, its fantastic. Good job John.
