Virtual Sound Images is a bit of a departure from the more traditional 'rock' aspects of Out Out. Principally instrumental, quite dancable, yet very detailed and layered, this first new album in years shows Mark Alan Miller's willingness to stretch out and try new things. The first of two instrumental records slated for release in 2006, V.S.I. is the more upbeat, lighter-spirited of the two, showing a sense of humor and levity often missing in the techno/industrial music scene. The sound of V.S.I. is not easily categorised, due in part to a wide range of styles, yet the album is still quite cohesive, and should appeal to a large cross-section of industrial/electronic music lovers. The CD also features two videos as bonus CD-ROM material. Out Out is a pioneering Industrial/Electronic/Rock band, mentored by Tackhead and often compared to earlier NIN, mid-period Ministry and sometimes Skinny Puppy. Originally signed to Tackhead member Skip McDonald's label Axis, then later to Metropolis Records. Now running their own label, Radio Valkyrie Records, Out Out is celebrating a new era for independent music. We strongly encourage people to legally download and purchase independent releases, and to spread the word about their favorite artists. This makes it possible for independent labels and artists to continue bringing original and innovative music to the world. *This CD is also part of the CD Baby $5 sale!
