At first glance, as I deeply listen to two of VAC's tunes, one being "Vaporized",  I can visualize myself traversing through a diverse forest of razorblades and muddied waters at high speed in a gondola with a Mexican acoustic guitarist serenading me, with after-thoughts of being lost in a dream of the fast and furious. I am definitely hearing influences of Trent Resnor in VAC's tune "Tripped Out", and Although the sweeping arps in many of their tunes are really cool and are morphing smoothly with sight transitions, the music composition seems to lack note changes or breaks, or a chorus like you would find in traditionally composed music, but VAC is far from traditional and are unique in their own style of composition.
