They are phenomenal.

First listen this morning. A nice record, beautiful music..they sound like they’re having a good time together. How this combo works is a bit of a mystery to me, their contributions both meld together properly and stand miles apart from each other simultaneously somehow. I should have gone to Day for Night and I should have ordered a physical copy cuz now I want the versions CDr.

If there’s anything decent in Venetian Snare’s music - well I can’t hear it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

anyone going their gig in shoreditch, london today? not sure if anyone posted about it already http://www.birdonthewire.net/events/venetiansnaresxdaniellanois-villageunderground

Really nice album.. wasn't sure how well this collaboration would work but pleasantly surprised on 1st listen

It's a big thumbs up from me. A curious collaboration that definitely forges something new. On to the bonus disc next.

While maybe not the best comparison, the mixing ambient and VS here sort of reminds me of how I first heard Aphex stuff like ICBYD, with its ambient bits and crunchy bits all rolled together. Just VS crunchy bits are a whole lot more crunchy than Aphex's were. Personally, love Venetian Snares x Daniel Lanois.

This is sounding particularly lovely in the sunshine (hope the neighbours agree!)

Wax still on the way but the digis are sounding mighty fine.

Second disc is just as wonderful as the first.  Love that "Night" track and it's version especially.

I didn't realize there'd be some pretty super-intense tracks on the album, like the breakz start coming in and even Lanois guitar stuff is manipulated to sound a little... messed up and it's amazing

also yessss nod to sampling on that longboy track with "THE MACHINE CAN COME THE MACHINE CAN COME THE MACHINE COME" is this a joke about the Selkirk Orchestra for Asexual Lithium Addicts

Would also like to highly recommend Lanois's latest solo album -- Goodbye to Language.  Similar vibes minus breakcore.

Often a mashup of really soft music and really hard music is even cheesier than the really soft music but this one kinda works

I should really like, not that Eno is bad but do a Google search for halfway interesting people who worked with Eno. It's easy to go 'meh' and not look into their solo work

Recommendation: Play loud in a cavernous space.

This album is surprisingly good. Really didn't expect that.
