Tom VR's music truly helps me ache, less. On the VIP especially, which demonstrates the patiently rising, warm, special tension characteristic of Tom's creativity, you get to hear how organically the elements in his compositions interweave between and enhance one another. There is no wasted moment, no lost sound, nothing absent with this record, only fullness, revitalized emotion, an enjoyably relentless progression, and a purity of presence. <3
