"Originally self-released midway in 2010, VHS Vision was the one and only release from Texas producer Stephen Farris under his Cosmic Sound moniker, which he used briefly between solo releases. It hung around long enough to raise a few eyebrows, get some good "I never saw this coming" press, and even a nod from Com Truise before Farris began focusing on his work under his own name. At the time, reviewers loved his circuit bent keyboards and the treasure trove of samples from VHS that he scattered throughout the album, but those characteristics have since become clearly typical of his larger output, so perhaps the name stopped making sense or the short tracks felt too tentative for Farris to want to justify the conceptual ground he would cover later. Nevertheless, it is an early and certainly one of the best statements of Farris' experimental audio aesthetic and incomparably clever, always catchy synth-play." -Dwight Pavlovic "...super ill synth work, melted vibes and like the EP says, it's a VHS Vision." -Com Truise "For the work of a career circuit-bender, VHS Vision opens surprisingly, ushered in by birds and acoustic guitar, before swan-diving into a nice mix of driving electronics and touching lyricism, with the two sides blended most affectingly on 'Little Flower.' My favorite sound is on 'Bear Auras', though, where bright synths fall like shooting stars and glitter bombs around a wild monologue about Jesus and electricity." -Duncan Cooper, The FADER "Crash Symbols
