Venetian Snares - Pink & Green EP

I like snares as much as most others but this just doesn't do it for me like some of the cavalcade stuff. About on par with hospitality which I though was pretty damn poor as well.

I would be keen for another HCCBU right about now (TEHAW3SOMEZLOLZL33tZSTFU). I would NOT care about retreading. Even another Chocolate Wheelchair with its cheesy sample destroying would be great. Ho-hum.

Whats next anyway. Has there ever been a time when nothing is lined up from vsnares? I guess theres Last Step but I don't dig that style much either.

snares gets so old so quick, when i first grabbed it i was like 'fuck yeah this is heavy' and now like 6 months later after ive heard about 12 lps by him it just sounds like the most childish one dimensional gacky shite you could want to hear. music for kids in the same way that slipknot are. although slipknot actually have some skills.

"sporto" is a fucking beaut. the rest is ok (I expect more from Snares).

lol, exactly the same shit he always makes

the truth is I like what snares does every time... maybe I didnt like winnipeg that much, but also loved that one... also I prefer hospitality to cavalcade.... and now pink and green which I love

if you guys dont see that this man is one of the few that offers a product of his own in the last 8 years... then you or me are blind

i may be blind but i'm certainly not deaf. i don't like what i hear

he's marmite

i love vsnares amd have alot of his stuff, but how different is one album from another, really? the only exception is rossz csillag for obvious reasons. maybe he should take more time with his albums instead of putting one out every 15 minutes.

:raises shield:

there are definitely some quantity/quality issues

so this is bad then

yes (I'm a huge Snares fan)

I actually really like the Rave Dojo track - it's my favourite from that EP... I don't regret buying it.

<3 snares

not his best release or anything, but if you like snares I don't see why you wouldn't like this.

one thing Ive noticed about snare's haters is that the arguments are just really shallow and uninteresting, and don't really prove anything about his music. As a snares lover I just ignore them, except for a couple which are actually intelligent observations.

exactly in these instances deal with fact not opinion.

facts are hes talented and he encourages mass debate therefore he must be good.

sure... i guess that could be said about snares haters, but what about legit snares' critics?

for instance, for many years, i was waving the big ole snares flag... then the rossz album really made me wanna puke. the puff-daddy approach he took to sampling of some of the best music of the past couple hundred years [most notably, the elgar cello concerto...some bartok quartets, and more...] was lazy at best, and nauseating at worst. i can't believe in such an environment of sample-spotting, vst-spotting, waveform-editor-spotting, etc, that this 'album' was considered his masterpiece.

once that level of laziness was revealed, everything else has seemed half-assed since. if he wants to consider himself a real, 'next level' player [as he wanks off to himself, listing himself as a classical musician on his myspace page] then let's see some real 'next level shit.... not just sloppily looping some of the best music ever written.

i don't know shit about chamber music but i thought rossz was excellent and a masterpiece

sure senki dala is kind of wack drukqs-ripoffy ass but its nice that he was able to push (stretch, lol) the amen so far

and it's refreshing to hear his programming contrasted harmoniously with classical samples rather than his early work which is too distorted and lo-fi-sounding for my ears

i think he's a great musician and that whether he interpolates or not is so far irrelevant

jjjjjjjjjjjjjJIwould like to seeeeeeeee more samples overused

this thread is getting better and better ,.

Aaron needs this big-ass 2CD release showing all kind of crazy stuff, from classical sampling, huge-chrome purely digital, ambient tracks, his post-modern sound of Calvacade, harsh drill of Winnipeg, dark stuff from his child-killer era.

Like one CD with each track a specific type, then the second CD where he mixes those style all together.

I can't think of anything I'd like to buy less than an album of Venetians Snares ripping himself off in order to rip off an Aphex Twin concept.

I'd like to see what he does next. Speculation on this board is teh lols

my biggest complaint about pink and green is a couple of the sounds literally resemble the same midi files hes used on previous songs.

i forgot which one on particular on this ep is like that, its the slower track in the middle.

it sounds identical in so many ways to a previous track ive heard of his, almost like hes just using the same template structure and just slowing down tempo and replacing the samples.

his more straight forward stuff like the acid track he made recently and that classical track on his myspace are fucking excellent, i wish hed do more stuff like that. I usually only like his really hard gabber stuff or his plunderphonic works, im not so much a fan of the in between melodic/gabber stuff.

Rosz would have been more respectable to me had Aaron portrayed the album as a plunderphonic reworking of hungarian folk music. Instead he claimed he played the violins, etc. This album is good for what it is and can be compared to other plunderphonic albums like John Oswald's Plunderphonics and Wobbly's Wild Why. I just dont think i would consider it an album composed by aaron funk, at best its a remix album in the context of normal electronic music.

Why do you care about what he told about Rossz? In the end it's only about the music
