VAST makes very simple, beautiful, meaningful, touching music. I just realized that tonight.
It's a shame he isn't more well known.

Jon Crosby (who is VAST all by himself) is a genius, and I don't really think he wants to be more well known. He seemed to be on a bit of a fast track after his first album, but then went and made the "more accessible" Music For People (the title even said what he was trying to do), and quite a few people were disappointed. Personally, I loved Music For People, it's probably one of my favorite albums ever.
I don't think he took the backlash too well, as Nude (and by extension, Turquoise and Crimson) and April, were quite stripped down compared to the first two albums, and he's been even more withdrawn than he was before.
His new disc, "Me and You" comes out next week.

It's really something special. I had heard "Touched" before years ago, but didn't realize how much better everything else of his was.
