One of my fav albums of all time. They also have a beautiful dream pop album named You Will Never Know Why Also they recently reform and will apparently release a new album next year
@Todesbewusstsein instagram.com/p/B38leXxBXD9/ he's also tweeted about it some but his twitter is private (but I haven't specifically seen anything indicating it will be released next year?)
꧁DoritoDust꧂ There’s actually an interview with the band itself on TH-cam that was done pretty recently, and Roberto and Valerie confirmed that they were planning on releasing new music in the “very near future.” Peep the link th-cam.com/video/ZURI9VIoUlk/w-d-xo.html
I think what makes this album so damn good is that despite it being very glitchy and experimental, it manages to be very hooky and accessible at the same time. Like Dsco and Chocolate Matter are straight up pop songs. You need to check out their follow up-album You Will Never Know Why at some point. It's much more indie pop and less glitchy but still a very strong album regardless.
In response to your comment about the music “having heart” at 18:23, I think the word which best describes this album for me is sincerity. I don’t know how or why, but there’s a sort of honesty and earnestness and genuineness to this group, and especially this album in particular. It’s one of the reasons I love this group as much as I do, because this album, along with You Will Never Know Why, is full of that same feeling. Despite their uniqueness and creativity, there's a sense of honest humility to their sound and lyrics. VDC just doesn’t sound like anything else I’ve ever heard, and it still blows my mind that anything from 2003 could possibly sound like this. Thanks for giving it a fair and balanced review!
"now it's just turning into a minecraft song" lol I never thought about it that way, but it totally fits for that part of the song great reacton by the way. it's my favorite album so I'm glad you liked it
when i first heard of this band, I heard “To All the Dancers of the World”, I bawled. fucking, BAWLED. lmao. but also yeah last track does give a whole “thank you” feel
The uniqueness of this album is why I would consider one of my favorites of all time. Really nice reaction to it too. Also you should check out Yellow Magic Orchestra's self titled album
10:35 the word your looking for is ambitious. That's why I like this album. It works on a chill out level as well as having faster moments (the "breakdown baby" then blasting you with blissful shoegaze noise is awesome). Has emotion too amongst the insane trippy IDM bits
Every perspective you gave on this video is pretty spot on, especially the mention of it being a starting point for getting into IDM. I had my youngest sibling get into IDM after I recommended VDC to him. Excellent video man.
I really fell in love with Björk during my post rock/progressive phase. I kinda shrugged her off as a pop singer. But that's a grave mistake. She's so progressive, she makes Dream Theater sound like AC/DC (cuz they always play the same music all the time).
pink floyd's the wall sounded like garbage to me until about 2014. it suddenly sounded completely contemporary and i was taken aback by how forward thinking some of the stuff they were doing was. i alway's saw it as kinda silly too, like 80s dad rock. but it's actually a really venerable and personal album about childhood trauma, fear of intimacy, and closing yourself off from feeling.
I like how you said there's a lot going on because it is more than true. I think that's what makes this album so appealing, it has so many different feelings that you can pull from it. One of my favorite bands and albums. Can't wait for their new album!
This was one of those albums that felt like it was perfect for its time but also ahead of its time and innovative for the genre and the aesthetics associated with this type of music
Loving the channel, great commentary and insights, I would love to see your reaction to some Brazillian classics like Clube da Esquina or Tim Maia - Racional vol.1
Great Video dude! Did you end up checking out the Violent Femmes. There first few albums are amazing and diverse. Also I can't wait until you eventually listen to all of Pavements albums.
Great video man! I really enjoyed your opinions of this album. I'm rediscovering this album right now. For me personally, I really love it and I'm not exactly sure why. It's not exactly my cup of tea per se but something intrinsically attracts me to it and intrigues me. I just subbed, looking forward to more of your album insights!
18:20 - 20:00 Loved the talk here! It made me realize some interesting things about this unique album, it breaks the rules, there's some heart and sweetness in there that you couldn't belive judging by their musical genre and even maybe the cover, idk. I think that Shoegaze/Dream pop has a considerable influence here btw :)
Can totally understand the pretentious comment, I certainly get the feeling when I listen to this that the artists were aware of how 'artsy' it was. An album I'd say I respect more than I enjoy, nice reaction!
Just found your channel, nice review! but... i just find unnecesary saying that an album from the early 2000's sounds like something from the early 2000's. No sh*t sherlock
Not everything sounds like a product of its time. And I was not expecting this album to sound like its indie contemporaries given the genres attributed to the band/album.
Not a big fan of the album, they all sound really half-baked examples of either Shoegaze or IDM, doing neither style particularly well or mixing them in any meaningful way, which makes it sound disjointed. Yeah and it's bloated as all hell. While this was, as far as I remember, the first time I listened to an album like this, it really didn't stick with me positively over the years.
I can understand. I don’t get a wholly cohesive sense of concept or personality, at least not enough to push it over the edge and make it a favorite for me. The shoegaze and IDM just clash a bit too much for it to feel seamless (although who knows, that may change for me on future listens). Still enjoy it quite a bit though, and it’ll certainly make appearances in my background listening rotation.

Dsco is like the only song you can play in a social setting lol
That & chocolate matter lol
@@ashleighjones7696 lol i guess, maybe only the first half
I play chocolate matter around my friends often
Could easily get Pro : Lov : Ad in there too. But then again my friends like Stereolab

He said that he wanted to record new material now that V:D:C is gonna get a vinyl reissue.

New album out now. _A Tiny House, In Secret Speeches, Polar Equals_

You are my favorite comment :)
Great Reaction!!! You should react to Duster-Stratosphere, amazing album.
Yessssss
"now it's just turning into a minecraft song" lol I never thought about it that way, but it totally fits for that part of the song
great reacton by the way. it's my favorite album so I'm glad you liked it
I just found this album and this was just uploaded like a week ago why does life work like this
when i first heard of this band, I heard “To All the Dancers of the World”, I bawled. fucking, BAWLED. lmao. but also yeah last track does give a whole “thank you” feel
to all the dancers is one of the best songs ever made in my opinion
my favorite song ever made. not even close
dsco is phenomenal, perfect garage band song.
The uniqueness of this album is why I would consider one of my favorites of all time. Really nice reaction to it too.
Also you should check out Yellow Magic Orchestra's self titled album

Easily one of my favorite albums ever! such a unique and sprawling and sweet... well, trip
International is fucking insane. best song ever

Dsco's reaction was great
This album puts me in a place like no other. What a brilliant piece of music.
the only reaction on YT for this album, and a nice analytical chill one at that, nice

Thanks TH-cam for this recommended video
I’ve broken into the algorithms!
You should react to pale machine by bo en & crumbling by mid-air-thief
choccy milk
listened to this all the way thru for the first time while playing portal 2 co-op, it turned out to be the perfect combo
Very nice video. Great album. One of the contemporaries to the artists you mentioned, that can be heard through this album, is also Stereolab imo
Dude nice reaction. Glad you like them... My favorite band!
"windows 98 vibes" so true
sept outro dude xx
Sept 1:37 background synth

so sad that they disbanded in 2022. this album was repressed on vinyl and CD, i was happy to own a CD repress.
The reason they disbanded is horrible....
greatest album ever made by a lot
Great Video dude! Did you end up checking out the Violent Femmes. There first few albums are amazing and diverse. Also I can't wait until you eventually listen to all of Pavements albums.
24:41 wow i really never thought of it that way damn
I’m here to give exclusive music insight. Glad to help.
Great video man! I really enjoyed your opinions of this album. I'm rediscovering this album right now. For me personally, I really love it and I'm not exactly sure why. It's not exactly my cup of tea per se but something intrinsically attracts me to it and intrigues me. I just subbed, looking forward to more of your album insights!
dude!!!! i feel the same way about this album. im so attracted to it but for a while i didnt even know why because it's not my usual taste
Have you listened to any Spoon albums? Seems like they might be in your wheelhouse. Good stuff.
THIS DUDE IS RIGHT ☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️ MY MAN LISTEN TO SPOON
Dsco, International, and Chocolate Matter are all 10/10 songs
It's 10am, I have the house to myself, I'm doing stuff around the house, and I'm playing this album. Very fitting description lol!!!
Bro respectfully don't you think you're being too harsh with 2000s music for sounding like 2000s music?
"Here we go! First track: Tekka."
*song starts*
"Uh-oh."
LMFAO

Awesome to see a reaction to my favorite album of all time!
Hey dude this is a gold!!! This álbum is a master piece.
Wonderful beautiful album
This is one of my fav albums of all time thanks for reacting to it 👍👌🙏
International Makes me cry
This is proto vaporwave
shiiit i wonder what you would think of a spirit of the beehive record
ok u r perfect
sweet trip confirmed for proto vaporwave
Not really haha, maybe proto Death's Dynamic Shroud but the rest of the genre is pretty different.
Yeah you really try the Wall. Quite different from the trilogy. Echoes/Dark Side of the Moon, Wish you were Here, & Animal
Can totally understand the pretentious comment, I certainly get the feeling when I listen to this that the artists were aware of how 'artsy' it was. An album I'd say I respect more than I enjoy, nice reaction!
Hey Alex, what about try Eartheater discography’s?
great video, you should react to Dots And Loops by Stereolab (remastered) 😀
Listen to animals by pink floyd I would say if you want weight
Fark me, you've got no idea on how to accurately describe music
Just found your channel, nice review!

True, it's certainly not a _bad_ album per se, and I do enjoy it once in a while.
