Album Description Venetian Snares, aka Gonk the 8-legged Viking, is back with yet another record that sounds nothing like Boards of Canada! From the catchy title track opener 'Pink + Green' which blends demented punk vocals with hyper-complex grooves and gut gurgling bass blasts you can just tell this is something fresh and funky from producer Aaron "funk" Funk. Not to worry though the sub-rattling low-end blasts and jackhammering hardcore anthems are still here and in full effect on tracks like 'Sporto Fucking Sellout Cocksuckerface' and 'Husikam Rave Dojo' that revisit the days of pilled out candy raving. This is cyberpunk at it's finest! Welcome to the interzone! 15 year old K-heads will love this shit! If you hated albums like Winnipeg is a Frozen Shithole and Higgins Ultra Low Track Glue Funk Hits 1972-2006, you will hate this even more! This is not some crybaby n00bcore bullshit, this is rave at it's roughest like only Mr. Snares can bring it. Album features amazing artwork by Arnold Steiner aka AS1 Projects. Similarly Requested CDs

CD Reviews"Take drugs, smoke crack, rock, get f****d up" Jose Jones | 04/11/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "Sometimes Venetian Snares is moody and atmospheric ("Doll Doll Doll," "Find Candace") and sometimes it's fun and loose ("Winnipeg is a Frozen Sh-thole," "Infolepsy," "Chocolate Wheelchair Album"). "Pink + Green" is definitely in the latter category, with Mr. Funk truly cutting loose and verging into accessible IDM. The great thing about Mr. Funk is that he can basically take any genre of music, comment on it, make it his own, and create something light-years better than the original source. It's amazing how he just keeps getting better and better with each new album -- constantly changing, but never losing his identity. This brief EP reminds me of the song "Winnipeg as Mandatory Scat Feed," where Mr. Funk went into full-blown gabber/Sickboy mode on the aforementioned "Winnipeg is a Frozen Sh-thole." This isn't as rich and complex as releases like "Meathole" and "Rossz Csillag Alatt Szuletett," but it's extremely entertaining and shows yet again that Mr. Funk elevates this genre above and beyond anyone else." One of Venetian Snare's best EPs Steward Willons | Illinois | 07/02/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "As I say about every Venetian Snares release, I have no idea how Aaron Funk is so prolific and so consistently great. He manages to create in a style uniquely his, but it progresses with each album with new approaches, new grooves, and new sounds.
There's a nice range here - some crazy odd-meter blitzkriegs, a slow number (well, slow for Venetian Snares anyway), some funny samples, and plenty of the usual madness that we love him for. Oh yeah, and one hilarious track title. I would say this is similar in tone to "Cavalcade of Glee", but maybe a bit more focused. He definitely refines some of the ideas started there. I could spend more time describing the music, but if you know VSNARES, you know what you're getting. This is definitely a quality EP - there's a lot more variety than Hospitality and a little more easily accessible than "Horse and Goat". I would definitely recommend this for any VSNARES fan. It's probably not the best place to start for a new-comer, but that's only because of its brevity and because albums like "Higgins" or "Rossz Csillag Allat Szuletett" are so amazing. The trouble is Amazon's price. $14.95 for an EP that's 22 minutes? Way to high! It's $4 download on iTunes, if you can deal with 128k files." |
