Two months after the release, the band began the new tour with a new lineup. Some of the feedback from the fans regarding the demo tracks was taken into account when choosing the tracks for Nude, which was released on February 24, 2004. VAST's next album, Nude, was preceded by the online release of the unmastered demo tracks, which were grouped into separate downloads known as Turquoise and Crimson. In 2001, Cotta and Clark decided to leave the band to form their own. After auditioning, Justin Cotta was chosen to replace him. Before it was finished, Robertson left in pursuit of a solo career. After touring America and releasing their first album named simply Visual Audio Sensory Theater (1998), they began work on a second album, entitled Music for People (2000).

Thomas Froggatt, Steve Clark, and Rowan Robertson made up the hastily-assembled band along with Crosby. Their real rise to fame began when a local radio station granted consistent air-time to their demo tape, after which Crosby sent demo tapes to New York City recording companies, eventually signing with Elektra Records. The musical outfit began in rather minimalist fashion when Jon was only sixteen, with the other members of the outfit being a drum machine and a bass player. In recent years, however, VAST's sound has been more identifiable with acoustic rock in releases such as April and Me and You.

VAST's sound is identifiable as ambient electro-rock with considerable industrial and acoustic influences, usually made with Crosby's traditional acoustic guitar, electronic instruments and processing, drum-driven tracks, and heavy bass.
