It was released as a digital album on February 18, 2014 through #FEELINGS.[1] BackgroundVirtual Anticipation was in production for over three years,[1] and included the title track from Aqua's debut EP, Reset Yourself. He described the album concept as "loosely about a sense of anxiety, happiness, fear, alienation and excitement I've felt as a result of years of endlessly analyzing how the Internet and technology are influencing ideas of self-identity, sexuality, privacy, 'immortality,' and fantasy". The album was composed of audio samples from field recordings, Nintendo DS, YouTube videos, and iPad synthesizer apps.[2]Virtual Anticipation was musically influenced by Frédéric Chopin, Wendy Carlos, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Sega Genesis, Timbaland, and RP Boo.[1]ReceptionIn a 2014 interview with Ben Aqua, VICE Thump called Virtual Anticipation "an opus that taps everything from footwork and club to seapunk and skweee, and pulls it all together with a post-human outlook". They described the album as having a "combination of classical elements and up-to-the-minute synth sounds".[2] Track listing{{Track listing| all_music = Ben Aqua, except where noted | total_length = 42:42 | title1 = We're All Baroque | length1 = 1:14 | title2 = Virtual Anticipation | length2 = 4:42 | title3 = Eternal Hard Drive | length3 = 2:41 | title4 = Ultimate Reality | length4 = 4:23 | title5 = Melted Memories | length5 = 3:44 | title6 = 4C1D | length6 = 4:32 | title7 = Drip Hop | length7 = 3:09 | title8 = Reset Yourself | length8 = 3:28 | title9 = Organic Blueprint | length9 = 1:33 | title10 = Dark, Dark Day | length10 = 6:00 | title11 = Just B U | length11 = 3:16 | title12 = Neverending Beginning | length12 = 4:08 }} Personnel
