heavy.......2007-03-09

Way too technical and a bit assaultive. But I have to give props for the effort and chops. I like many of the compositions and I think this is one of VS' better efforts.
Not something you can listen to all the time. Comes off as a bit of a clinic, and that snotty vibe gets tired. But as always conceptually tight. Killer art and sound design.

pretty amazing, but not quite a 5 star album.......2007-03-03

Venetian Snares is for two kinds of people - 1) Super f'd up rave kids, and 2)People who realize that 4/4 time is a little overdone. (i'm a 2)
You will hear people mistakenly claim that Venetian Snares uses "random beats", or that he is just jumbling rhythms together. This is an oversight. A few tracks change from one time signature to another, but most are in one time and stay that way throughout (though it can be very trying to actually count). 90% of VS' tracks are in some form of 7 with the other 10% in assorted odd times like 5/4, 11/8, and my favorite 23/8 (divided two 4/4's and a 7/8). If you can't feel the groove of a seven beat, you'd better be a 15 year old k-head to fully enjoy this artist, let alone this album.
Let me first state that V-Snares is one of my favorites and I will buy and love everything Aaron Funk ever puts out. This album, in particular, is somewhere between "Winnipeg is a Frozen S***hole" and "Find Candace" on the Hardcore-O-Meter. It's not super gabber hardcore but still some definite head noddin'. The track "Aamelostasis" is brilliant beyond words, and the rest of the album is awesome, but it's not as inventive as the "Rossz Csillag..." album, concept-wise. If you have never listened to Venetian Snares, this is a pretty decent album to get your feet wet. Also check out "Chocolate Wheelchair" or "Higgins Ultra Low Track Glue Funk Hits 1972-2006"
The bottom line is if you like Squarepusher, Autechre, Aphex Twin, etc. and you like odd time signatures, you will like Venetian Snares more than any of those chumps. He puts out like 2 ep's and a full release every year - all of it consistently funktastic.

Please enter a title for your review.......2007-01-15

This Cavalcade album is rilly quite lame. Dude has just lost it. The beats are always rite on, but the ambient stuff is so wack. Pretty much everything since Find Candace has been a waste.

Happy Happy Glee Poms!.......2006-12-31

I was a bit anxious about this one. "Rossz Csillag..." was an absolute masterpiece in my eyes: the glorious mash-up of beats and Bartok that the world had been waiting for (but kinda ignored all the same). But it *was* strangely "accessible". What if Aaron's mellowing out? Getting all musical on us? Maybe he'd want to repeat the trick?

F*** that. This is Aaron Funk we're talking about. He's tossed away the classical styles like they were last year's fashion. Good man.

For me, every Aaron Funk album shows improvement, too: more technically accomplished, more musical, more new. He's on a heck of a run of form.

About the style: back in the 90's techno-gods Autechre released "Anti-ep", including "Flutter". On the cover was a sticker proudly stating that no two bars had the same beats - a pretty stunning track, to boot. However, I'm not sure any two bars of rhythm on this entire fricking *album* have the same beats. Aaron is blessed with the boredom threshold of a mosquito and a rather exquisite way of expressing it.

Take "Swindon" - a roccoco harpsichord over a rhythm section you could almost call danceable, but it's endlessly shifting, reforming: diving off at wild tangents; digressing. It's also totally, utterly thrilling to immerse yourself in it.

There's a few other stand-out tracks: "Plunging Hornets" was my most listened to track this year. It takes the minor harmonics of the kind of music that was in "Rossz" and turns it into something frantic, desparate, unbelievably rapid. Kinda like hornets, plunging. The beats synchopate, align and then break into staccato dashes. Sometimes these kind of tracks get sterile, but there's enough modulation of tempo and mood to give a sense of emotional connection.

There's a lot of variety of tempo and style here, too: For people who like their Funk aural assault, there's Vache - something approximating "Happy Hardcore" like the title says. Aggressive, uncomfortable, invigorating.

The album also winds down elegantly, with some (relatively!) mellow tones (P is beatless and pleasant) and Cancel leaving a quite mournful sense in the air as the CD spins out.

Whew! Well, I like it. On the down side, it is a sum of it's parts as an album - it doesn't have the flow of Rossz, and some of the tracks are a little unremarkable: XIII's Dub, Twirl, for example. I'm stingy with my 5 star reviews, so this is a 4. Certainly one of my albums of the year, tho.

glxxzstyrp.......2006-08-15

snares is fun. but id forgotten just how much fun. thought he'd gone off the deep end after meathole... you know, maybe finally taxed himself just a little too much and released too much material? and when i listened to this off bleep, i was like.... yeah, whatever, time to find someone new.

but i bought this anyway, just to complete my list of snares records (all the way from greg hates car culture, upto meathole... hee hee hee) and this album rocks. should be four and a half stars. not as glitchy as huge chrome... which is good... but far more... dont know... unified than a lot of his old material, in terms of mixing melody and spazz. this record is intricate. its not snares busting out in yet another [!!] direction... more a refinement of terms. and damn its good. sometimes slow, sometimes spastic, always involved. not quite breakcore, not quite uber-processed "idm" but a really sweet balance between the two. and just recommending another planet mu record (cause they're cranking) - phthalocyanine's 25 tracks fer one.

oh. and yes. buy. its worth it. spesh if you like snares.

Aggressive and f*cked up, yet strangly catchy.......2005-01-03

Aaron Funk, the man behind the one-man 'band' Venetian Snares, describes his music as 'f*cked up'. I'd be willing to agree with that. Venetian Snares is hardly the sort of music to put on over a romantic dinner. Its the sort of music I'd probably request to have played at my funeral if I knew I was going to die in a month just to have a last minute laugh imagining the look on parent's faces. And you'd probably need to have that sort sick sense of humour to like Venetian Snares in the first place, so I figure that it all evens out.

However, despite the f*cked-up-ness of it all, Chocolate Wheelchair Album has a bizarre parallel to it. Now bear in mind that I'm yet to hear half of Venetian Snares' back catalogue, but of what I have heard Chocolate Wheelchair album is both one of the most aggressive yet also one of the most accessible in a strange, angry kind of way. Make no mistake, nothing I've heard from him is on the same level of heaviness as Hand Thrown and only a few tracks here are subdued. The album is still incredibly energetic, to put it lightly. But its also catchy in weird way - a way not present on his other work.

There's an extensive use of catchy vocal samples - Aboniation Street has an almost punky female voice over the top, Einstein-Rosen Bridge has samples that sound like a Eurovision song gone VERY wrong and Hand Thrown features stereo-typical drum n bass MC-ing over it (before it turns into a cross between speedcore and a car being repeatedly crushed and scratched). These seem to work as memorable hooks for the music, something not widely used on a lot of his other work.

Another noticable feature is bass lines. Its a much more subtle difference, but considering how random a lot of his music is, having a humable, memorable bass line like those featured in some (note the word 'some') parts of this album makes a huge difference to how instantly likable, memorable or accessible the music is.

Is Chocolate Wheelchair Album my favourite Venetian Snares album I've heard? No. Will it satisfy fans of Doll Doll Doll or Winter In The Belly Of A Snake? Maybe not. Is it a great Venetian Snares album? Oh yes.

ONLY for the technically advanced!.......2004-06-10

Yet another aggressive one from Aaron..

Insanely off the wall and disconnected from your everyday break beat time frames, get it.

7.6/10 rounds up to 4/5.......2004-01-21

This just in: People dance to 3/4 time music without even knowing.

In a related story, Arron Funk attacks dancefloors; dancefloors surrender.

In an attempt to distance himself from his work on hymen, and not get pideon-holed as "teh scarey technos guy," the latest release by infamous one man act, Venetian Snares, took off into the land of the dance-party. That's right kids, you don't have to listen to this album in the dark; now you can use a strobe! People will still look at you funny if they hear you playing it, but they will no longer clutch their children and hurry off looking back over their shoulder. This is a new Venetian Snares, and he's not really here to stay! He's just here to confuse your dog!

Your friends will say, "Wow, I feel like I should be in some European club getting hit on by a guy in leather pants named Franz!" Except they probably won't say it that excitedly! All in all this album is interesting and fun to listen to, but it lacks the cohesiveness that made his earlier works so special! Still it grows on you. My only complaint is that he makes little use of his virtuosity in the art of sonic texturing. :,(

Still though:
It has a Coronation Street remix.
It has a glitched out 80's pop tune.
It's still in the top 99% of all music made in the year of 2003.
How could you not love it.

[edit]oh, and the ultra-accessable feau-euro-dance track, einstein-rosen bridge, comes in at under 2 minutes. not exactly the best thing to base your purchase around.

7.6 out of 10 - mr. snares goes for a walk, and gets lost.......2003-11-19

Anyone who's interested in Aaron Funk's music is aware of his complete disregard for conventional musical structure. Fans are also probably aware of how attractive that disregard can sound- i know i am. My first time listening to "doll doll doll" all the way through, i felt like my life had changed. It was dark, and raining, and i was on my way home from somewhere in the dark and rain with the volume on my stereo cranked all the way up. It was amazing; relentlessly attacking snare sounds placed at jazzily flawed time signatures, and distorted voices from under the bed from god knows what horror film. It was scary, and i wanted ta shake my booty to the fear. Who else can do that?

On his first and second albums "print/f" and "songs about my cats", Funk showed obscurity through fractured drum & bass songs with odd time signatures, and there was an individual theme for both. These themes were vague, and ended up being more like undertones (did you really imagine different kinds of cats when you listened to "songs about my cats"? Probably not). However vaguely the songs represent their theme though is irrelevant; when listening to either album, your brain can fill in the blanks, and you'll get something that could possibly be the sound of cats, or evil (or in the case of this year's dissapointing "nymphomatriarch", sex).

With Chocolate Wheelchair, it seems Mr. Snares has abandoned all theme structure, and created an album full of songs that are all experimental in their own right. The opening track "Abomination Street" begins with some jazzy meddling; horns swell and flush while the snare drums segment them on a cutting board. Eventually a punk-esque female vocal comes in, which acts as a hook for the song. Venetian snares songs don't generally have hooks, so this is a relatively new thing for listeners to hear from him. And when they do hear it, they'll love it.

"Einstein Rosen-Bridge", the album's strongest track, takes a funk guitar segment, a cow bell, and a sample from something old and science fiction ("its about time, its about space, about strange people in the strangest place!"), and blends thems into one of the catchiest songs of the year. And its a Venetian Snares song! Epidermis continues in a slightly similar fashion, with emphesis on its chorus / hook vocal, and lightning fast drums of all shapes & sizes.

good stuff. But herein lies the problem- what about the more experimental stuff? What about the songs without hooks? This is what makes the album inconsistent. Its not that any of the 10 tracks on this album are "bad", per se- its just that a select few tracks stand out, and the others...don't. I found myself popping this cd in my discman and skipping stright to "einstein rosen-bridge", over and over. Is it the album's lack of flow, or is it my impatience? Either way, Mr. Snares sets the listener up for accessible songs done in a violent and drum-driven fashion, but falls slightly short of that expectation with the more obscure stuff. This is a good album, and i'm sure snares fans will find alot to like in it. But for those looking to dj some snares songs at their next party, a word of advice: go with the einstein rosen-bridge 12".

Album Description

The UK underground is on fire in 2006. It's undeniably a special, fertile time and BBC Radio 1 dee-jay Mary Anne Hobbs wanted to capture some of the unique energy of this generation on a single compilation. Warrior Dubz represents a collection of some of the pioneering underground artists she's been supporting on her show.

More than half of the tunes featured on Warrior Dubz were produced exclusively for the album. The others are the underground classics that helped define the 2006 scene. Hobbs is responsible for shaping the agenda of one of the most trend-setting and respected underground music shows on English radio. Regarding her influence on the music she champions, consider this: When BBC Radio1 announced a new "specialist" schedule, her show, formerly called Breezeblock, was rechristened simply Mary Anne Hobbs.

Bring in the noise, bring in the FUNK.......2006-11-30

A couple months have passed, which means that it must be time for another Venetian Snares release. Honestly, I sometimes wonder whether Aaron Funk is some sort of cyborg who can live on only 2 hours or sleep or so a night based on how much music he releases, especially given his fairly consistent output. The Hospitality EP basically continues right where his last album (Cavalcade Of Glee And Dadaist Happy Hardcore Pom Poms) left off, with more of his insanely-detailed beat programming work offset with his more recent attention to more melodic pieces.

"Frictional Nevada" opens the short release (six tracks and just over twenty-five minutes of music), and the five minute track is one of the best things he's done. Over the course of the first two minutes (between one third and one half of the total run length), he layers warm synths, horns, strings, and some keyboard melodies into a delightful swell before an absolutely hammering blast of drum programming shreds the track to bits. From there, those two pieces of the track fight like Jekyll and Hyde, with drum bursts overtaken by more melodic swoons and vice-versa.

"Beverly's Potatoe Orchestra" follows, and it's more standard fare, with rapid-fire beat blurts chunking apart over distorted vocals and playful synth melodies, while "Shoot Myself" again brings some string-synth swells and quieter moments in alongside a short section of spitfire beats. The highlight on the remainder of the EP is the six-minute mind-bender of "Duffy," which takes delight in throwing everything and the kitchen sink into the mix as 8-bit madness, filtered vocal samples, sub-rattling low-end blasts, and of course berserk beats keep the track slamming for its entirety. While it's a little more inconsistent than some of his previous work, there are still enough head-spinning moments on this release to make it worth recommending.

awesome.......2007-01-09

Winter is one of Funk's 'softer' albums, yet still maintains that eerie feel that helps maintain gripping awe throughout. Not as mentally perplexing as the unparalleled 'Huge Chrome Cylinder Box Unfolding' (hardly anything is), but still a terrific LP nonetheless. The intro song 'Dad' has haunting vocals and tells a pretty self-explanatory meaning of the song. From here onwards there is a pretty relaxed feel to the LP. It all binds pretty well, then you get to 'January' which has some decent vocals that go well. The song 'In Quod' easily the finer moment of the LP and quite possibly one of his top 10 songs ever (opinions, opinions). The LP slowly drifts on from here calmly.

To conclude, an awesome LP to own, but maybe not as a starter.

a venetian snares album........2005-03-27

"Winter In the Belly of a Snake" gets 4 stars only because it has "suffocate" on it. The rest of the album is so-so and would warrant a three. This cd is worth the price of admission simply for "Suffocate", which, if it could be approximated by stars, would get about 212.

The album on the whole is very quiet and clicky, panned all over the freakin place, and of course crazy ass time signatures as you would come to expect. I thought the first five tracks were solid, then he kinda runs out of things to do or something. Very well programmed, just not very musical imho. That said, "Suffocate" is probably the most beautiful song I have ever heard and it haunts me constantly. "Tattoo" and "Dad" are very good songs too. Also "January" just for the expert placement of Garrison Keillor sample ;)
There are a couple vocals on here, "Dad" and "Tattoo" use both very well. Venetian Snares is the techno you play for your punk/metal/hardcore friends who think they are so cool because they listen to hard music. If they aren't into vsnares, they haven't heard hard music, and once they hear it from you they will be like OMG... how...?!

awesome, perhaps my fav VS release to date.......2005-03-25

venetian snares is absolutely incredible, aaron funk is the most original musician snice cEvin Key, i think its a joke when people describe him as drum and bass, or compare him to autechre or squarepusher, what a joke. venetian snares is its own genre, and he is so far ahead of any of the people he is compared to, when there is no comparision, his music doesnt even sound like someone is making it, it just sounds like it is happening. he is a genius, i think you either love his music so much you can't stand it, or you dont like it at all. i dream about his music, i can hardly sleep at night b/c i get so excited about his music, im being serious, i love it, i cannot get enough, luckily he is so talented that he has released like 12 Cds in only 5 years. his music has changed my life, i especially like this album and i am a huge fan of his noisier stuff, like horse and goat. his music is one of a kind, there are really no loops, but somehow it just fits and all the sounds fit together in a very organic manner.

A quieter, weirder Venetian Snares.......2004-12-22

Although some of his other albums have their quiet moments, most of what I've heard from Venetian Snares so far is in your face aggression. So I was surprised when I first started listening to Winter In The Belly Of A Snake. Those expecting tracks like Hand Thrown or Make Ronnie Rocket will be disappointed - while they're a far cry from drum and bass they're a lot closer to it than anything here. If you want something like Find Candace or Making Orange Things you'll probably be disappointed as well. Winter In The Belly Of A Snake is a more subdued, abstract affair.

The synth sounds seem to ape 70s progressive rock more than they do 90s electronic. The drum patterns sound more like odd noises and sound effects at times rather than more convential drum sounds, even when compared with other Venetian Snares albums. Often we are treated some avant-garde-esque piano or violin sounds, something his heavier albums didn't have time for.

Winter In The Belly Of A Snake is, of all I've heard by Venetian Snares, a harder album to listen to yet its very enjoyable as a consequence. I do need to be in the right mood to listen to it (whereas I could listen to Find Candace or Higgins Ultra Low Track Glue Funk Hits just about any time), but I often find that that's the beauty of this sort of music - the way it plays with your imagination and opens itself to you over time. If you don't live for the abstract and subdued then Higgins Ultra Low Track Glue Funk Hits or Chocolate Wheelchair Album are better bets, but if you like weirder, quieter music that isn't afraid to flirt with avant-garde, then this album is one well worth looking at.

not bad, but it's not Squarpusher.......2004-11-07

Venetian Snares is often compared to Squarepusher. Sure, both artists apply the same frentic chopped up breakbeat technique which superficially sounds quite alike. But where Squarepusher still manages to make it all swing and give it a very musical twist, Venetian Snare's beats often sound either stiff or just very chaotic without much musical interest. For me this often leads to some weariness after a a few tracks: it all just sounds too much alike. Of course, Venetian Snare's style *is* breakcore and not drum & bass, but it would be pleasant if he showed some sense of adventure and would venture into other styles more.

Still, this is not bad music by far. It is excellently produced and contains some interesting feats of sonic layering. So who knows: Venetian Snares might be onto something really groundbreaking in the future. Not just yet, though.

this compilation disappointed. I like a lot of Planet Mu artists and was psyched to get this release but it didn't deliver. I feel like this double CD had enough good cuts for a single CD and then was padded with a lot of left-field odd ball tracks and throw-away b-side tracks. It certainly didn't live up to the concept album sounding title. There was no common ground to tie all the tracks together.

Classic electronic music.......2003-10-08

Starting in the early 90's in England, was the birth of modern electronic dance music, as captured by this series 140 BMP+. These songs are all proto jungle, trance, rave, house, hardcore, etc. Some incredible, some hilarious, these songs will sound dated, but no less inventive and pioneering. Although this is not the strongest entry in the series, it is worth it for Omni's Mystic Stepper if you dont have it anywhere else.

Dragonmasterron.......2006-01-29

I was disappointed that this cd is just a compilation from the Earth series. Granted you can tell that the songs are remastered, but I was looking for new songs.It's a shame that there is no listing of the songs so that you can tell what you're getting. I guess it shows that I'm rather irritated, this is my first review.

super tripped out, big beat, Frankensteinian dancefloor destroyer.......2006-11-02

This is hands down our favorite new grime / dubstep / what-the-f-ck big beat sort-of-dance record. It's so heavy and f-cked up and groovy and weird. Some impossibly tangled up mess of Jungle and grime, hip hop and dub step, IDM and full on dub, all pulled apart and reassembled into this f-cking super tripped out, big beat, Frankensteinian dancefloor destroyer.

Every track is some sort of super stripped down grimey dubbed out slab of skitter and stutter. HUGE crunchy beats stretched into lazy loping hiccupping grooves, almost like some killer jungle 12" played at 16 rpm. But with all the guts and organs yanked out leaving massive skeletal rhythmic beasts. There are all sorts of strange sound effects and random sonic flares all over the place. But judiciously applied, leaving the overall sound still spacious and spare. That instantly recognizable Star Trek warning klaxon gets chopped into weird melodies, bits of bleep and bloop, swoosh and shimmer, drift and hover between the pummeling thump and skitter.

Beneath it all, some unbelievably MASSIVE, fuzzed out super-dense low end crunch, supporting occasional disembodied ragga toasting that gets all tangled up in the crunchy grinding beats. At one point a sweet lilting female vocal drifts into the picture but is soon crushed under some black hole heavy bass fuzz and spears of digital speaker shred, all the while a killer loping beat keeping heads nodding and toes tapping. Milanese is like some DJ cast into the pit, damned to an eternity of spinning nothing but demented demonic slow motion jungle dub for all of the other cursed souls writhing spastically on blackened dancefloors all over hell. You know what they say about Hell and Satan and all the best bands and tunes and all that, well, we can only imagine the same applies to DJ's and electronic music, and if you ever needed absolute proof, Milanese rises from a black breach in the ocean floor spewing broken beats and belching black fire, all to a killer freaked out funky stuttery apocalyptic soundtrack. So recommended!

Pretty mad............2006-01-26

When someone say's breakcore I tend to think of dark evil soundscapes and brain melting rhythms that would make most people squirm. Sh*tmat throughs that out of the window. I don't think he takes his tongue out of his cheek for the entire Full English Breakfast album. Its all rather light hearted and jokey despite the ever noisy drum patterns. I remember seeing him live at Glade Festival 2005 but for, er, obvious reasons my memory of his music was rather hazy. But what I do remember was that it was great to dance to.

Does it make great listening music though? Not especially. Its all far to random and quirky to be that enjoyable and ends up becoming a little annoying after a while. Sampling everyone from Sean Paul and Eminem to Prodigy to 50s music and Christian hymns, mashing it all up and layering it over breakcore beats is a great little gimmick but hardly makes incredible music. Its all the name of fun of course, but that doesn't make it any less silly. Much of what can be heard here would be great comic relief as part of a more serious album, but an entire album of it gets rather old after a while.

If you're looking for a shamelessly noisy, silly and most of all fun breakcore album then Full English Breakfast will serve you well. If it seems like I hate Full English Breakfast, I don't. I just don't particularly like it either. I throw it on from time to time to listen to a few tracks here and there but in the long run I think I'll stick with Venetian Snares and Enduser, thank you.
