Years ago I bought a 2CD pack online at ECI (now called bookspot), a shop with mostly books. They sell also a lot of music, computergames and some game gear, sometimes cheaper than other real games selling shops. The 2CD pack contains a CD called Mystery and the other Relax, I bought it cause I liked synthesizer music and the covers and titles seems interesting enough.
Well after a while I found myself standing at the cashout of a recordshop with more than 10 CD of the Virtual Audio Project (VAPs) in my hands. But most of the CDs I bought from their own webshop, not cheap unless you bought a lot of them together.
And so I did.
Virtual Audio Project is a CD-serie of a music-company in Italy called Cybertracks with maybe 15 composers. Each CD is recorded in Dolby Surround, has its own artwork, sometimes release notes (or inlay book). On each CD there are a lot of different composers with tracks that should fit the theme or title of the CD.
After more than 35 CDs with different themes, VAP started to repeat themes and music.
I lost interest buying more. Occasionly I listen to one of the VAPs, although most of the tracks are not house oriented, not a big problem, I still like some of the tracks.
Sadly, I dont have a stereoset with Dolby Surround, so until now I never heard how a VAP CD should sound. with Dolby Surround.
I played with the idea of uploading some of my favs CDs of VAP on YT, but as so many times, somebody else had the same idea. Not all, but bother the trouble of uploading the ones that are not on YT ?
When writing this post I ask myself do I want to buy the rest of the collection of VAPs ?
Well maybe someday, now I have more fun listening to Retro-Wave/Synth-Wave/Retro-Elektro mixes on YT.
