I got Far Side Virtual yesterday, and its completely, utterly confusing. For one its a clear Vinyl LP with production values that suggest it would be better suited to a CD, and it has an Iphone on the front cover.
He kinda sounds like a jingle writer who's been asked to produce a series of tracks to soundtrack a corporate video, with the remit that he needs to appeal to as many different people on a very low level as possible (a sitar sound pops up here, a vagguely new age bit there), but has instead ended up getting sick of it and peppering it with his own weird indulgences.
I could probably write about this all day. This album is definitely taking the piss on one, or maybe several levels, and i love it.
