Album discussion on indieheads
Wow this album is incredible. It's funky as hell, super danceable, and just a massive step up from his previous work imo. 'Slumlord' is an absolute banger. The whole thing feels like a sleazy, neon-lit night out. Anyone else getting major Prince vibes?

Album of the Year 2015 ranking
Deserved top 25 placement. Such a cohesive and fun record. 'Annie' is pure pop perfection, and 'The Glitzy Hive' is an underrated gem. Perfect synthesis of synthpop and dance music. The production is lush and detailed.

Vinyl pressing discussion: 45 not 33
Heads up: the 2xLP is cut at 45 RPM, but the center labels all say 33. First time I played it at 33 and thought something was wrong. Sounds way better at 45! But the slipmat quality is hit or miss; mine's slightly off-center.

In-depth discussion on LetsTalkMusic
Vega Intl. Night School is a nocturnal concept album that perfectly captures the feeling of a debaucherous night out. From the opening 'Hit Parade' to the anthemic 'News From The Sun,' it's a journey. The influence of 80s new wave and post-disco is strong, but it never feels derivative. It's his most mature and entertaining work.

Comparison to Jai Paul on r/jaipaul
I definitely hear the Jai Paul influence on this album, especially in the funky, off-kilter production on tracks like 'Street Level' and 'Dear Skorpio Magazine.' Both have that lo-fi, yet polished and groovy vibe. It's a spiritual successor in some ways.
