	village voice > music > Vast Music for People by Michael Freedberg
		Given that Crosby masks his publicity photo behind a gorgeous London-boy coif, it's not surprising that he likes early-1980s glam: some Tears for Fears, a lot of Billy Idol, the difficulty of Bono.
		Crosby's persona may be a head like a hole, but he's resigned to it.
		Unlike Meeks, Crosby has no room in his gloomy glam for love, or its rhythms, which is why he is right not to borrow from such danceable dandies as the Pet Shop Boys, who, though lonely, never give up reaching out.

		Tall, big-eyed and rumpled, with hair that's dark at the roots and scarlet-and-purple at the tips, Crosby might be the Goth geek that always hung out in the high school parking lot, listening to Nine Inch Nails and attracting girls with his poetically tortured 'tude.
		Despite the fact that Crosby came from a town of around 7,000, with no music scene to speak of, he was still provided with an incubator.

		In the case of Jon Crosby and his one man project, VAST, I've been fortunate not only to follow Jon's career thought three amazing, groundbreaking albums, but I've also, literally, watched Jon grow up.
		In March of 2002, Crosby voluntarily walked away from his deal at Elektra in order to create something of a new paradigm in the way music can be marketed and sold.

	VAST : Nude - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Crosby is a talented producer and arranger, so his faraway vocal choirs and manipulated sound effects have the ability to evoke the unsettling tension that once tinged Coil's dark electronic experiments.
		This means songs like "Turquoise" and "Thrown Away" are some of Nude's stronger moments since both rumble with throaty rock pacing but are still tinged with enough bizarre electronic squiggles or processed vocal exotica to be unique.
		Crosby has never sounded more like Bono than in the lush landscape of "Lost" or over the plaintive piano and treated guitars of "Candle," and the late-album standout "I Can't Say No (To You)" is a respectable run at sensual downtempo electronica.
