Far Side Virtual is an album by James Ferraro, released digitally and on vinyl in 2011 by the label Hippos in Tanks. The rocker ost rapidshare. The album marked Ferraro's transition from his previous style of lo-fi drone music toward a sharply produced electronic aesthetic. Far Side Virtual deliberately evokes the artificial style of corporate 'elevator music' and obsolete computer sounds.

Ferraro said he first conceived of the album for release as a series of ringtones, and that listeners using songs from the album as ringtones is the completion of the project. The album engages with concepts of hyper-reality, simulacra, disposable consumer culture, 1990s retro-futurism, advertising and branding, pop art, and musical kitsch. Critics have found Ferraro's attitude toward his themes ambiguous, depicting the modern world as both bleak dystopia and uncanny utopia. Far Side Virtual has been cited as one of the original catalysts of vaporwave, an underground electronic music movement that covers much of the same sonic and conceptual territory.James Ferraro: Far Side Virtual- 01.

Note: this isn't listening music, it's an art piece. As such, it utilizes the same themes chillwave relies on (nostalgia, a DIY approach, de- and re-contextualization of old, even dated material) to mock that genre and all its associations.

The message of the album is quite complex: Ferraro is asserting that originality of material is unnecessary in art (which has been a topic in the art world at least since Duchamp), but he also seems to think that our current culture is devoid of originality. Whereas the tape culture Ferraro came from prefers to make its references unrecognizable by way of distortion, elongation, etc. (and this can certainly be applied to any and all music influenced by the proto-sampling of early Tape Music, up to and including Hip Hop, Techno, Pop, etc.); on this album the focus is on using these processes without masking the source material. In effect, the result is a demasking of the past, say, decade of electronica, but more importantly of American culture at large, which certainly seems (to me, at least) to often be a collection of rehashed tropes.
This is why it's fairly useless to comment on particular sounds; the fact that the Skype sound is more recognizable than another corporate sample is only coincidence, and Ferraro intends all of them to be on an equal footing with the shitty preset synth sounds throughout the album. Indeed, even to speak about individual tracks seems futile, because the approach is what's revolutionary here, not the auditory result. By creating such a raw—and at times, ugly—work by essentially inverting modern music, Ferraro shows that American culture often presents nothing other than decoration. This in itself is worth noting (it's also a major theme in Klimt's work), but I would assert that Ferraro goes one step further to show that this culture is not simply ornamentation, but a ruse. Despite the tongue-in-cheek irreverence, this is a truly honest album, and, like Swift's 'A Modest Proposal,' it is a premonition of our society's future based on current trends.
Ferraro's past career was very much hit-or-miss, but he cements his status as both an artist and a social commentator with this forward-thinking album. Essential listening.
