Far Side Virtual (stylised as FARSIDEVIRTUAL) is a studio album by the American electronic musician James Ferraro, released on October 25, 2011 by the record label Hippos in Tanks. First conceived as a series of ringtones, the album marked Ferraro's transition from his previous lo-fi recording approach to a sharply produced, electronic aesthetic that deliberately evokes sources such as elevator music, corporate mood music, easy listening, and early computer sound design. The album has been interpreted as engaging with themes such as hyperreality, disposable consumer culture, 1990s retrofuturism, advertising, and musical kitsch.
