Don't know if y'all know or not. |

|
|
gee, i wonder what this album will be like... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
your broken snare drum leaks? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I wonder if it will have violins and stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it will probably be called 'violins and stuff' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
btw apparently it's out next monday, i've got it preordered. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Yes my broken snare drum leaks. How much do you reckon for a repair? |
||||||||
|

This is the first Venetian Snares album I've ever heard and after skipping through a few tracks I can safely say that there is absolutely no violins. This is straight yet manic 'acid drum and bass' and it sounds very much like something that could have been released on Rephlex or even be made by Richard D James. Those MEN releases pops up in my mind for some reason..... Detrementalist - the title - of the album could be just as well have been junglist. Yes, that's what this is: Jungle! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
that's VS for ya... Strings are to him what piano was to RDJ circa Drukqs, in other words a much-needed distraction. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ok... As I said, I've never ever listened to anything by VS before. I imagined his music to be more dark and industrial than this acid jungle stuff. I even look forward to listen more closely to this tomorrow... Is it true that this is his 332nd official studio album, or is that just an attempt at being funny about the large volume of records VS has produced? And sorry about the bad grammar in my previous post... |

If you've heard one VS album - I was going to say: "...you've pretty much heard them all", but that sounds too harsh. But based on your description and the samples I've heard, this album is a fairly typical example of the kind of sounds Venetian Snares has to offer. There are some more obscure releases, collaborations and such, which sound more noise-inspired and even industrial, but that's certainly not the norm. Then, of course, there's a few of those orchestrated albums (among my favourites, too) that came out in the last couple of years. But his sound is consistently "drill and bass" or "breakcore" or whatever you want to call it. I'm actually looking forward to this album, even though it isn't his 332nd album - he's prolific, yea, but not Merzbow-prolific. |
||||||||

|

| |||||||||
|
|
imo, the only two inspired albums he's done are Songs about my cats and Rossz.... everything else is good but its just more of the bloody same. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Making Orange Things was hardly the same as the rest of his work. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
whats it called |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Detrimentalist. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Another of the more standard VS releases. Not without enjoyable moments though. Actually I found it easier to listen through this one than "My downfall" which was garbage imo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aw i can only find 4 tracks of it on slsk |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's on thepiratebay if that's any help. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is it in stores already? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
gentleman is one awesome track..the rest of the album is too much alike..doesn't deliver anything but mentalism which is a shame because he was onto something with gentleman..oh well |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
taken it upon myself to not listen to any of the tracks on the album before I have it in my hands....so here's hoping for a good album. I know he's made his fair share of crap but he comes out with some real gems every now and again |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I must admit, this one sounds slightly better than their usual shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i just downloaded it after finding it using Google. Buck up |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, but that was a collab and it was also rubbish. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just because you may or may not have been born atop mount everest doesn't make your shit stink any less than the distance between God and taco bell, wat. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i like a few tracks. grabbed it off slsk, but they're just 1 and some minute samples. |
||||||||
|

didnt you run barcode magazine? embarrasing comment there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the new snares leaked and then trickled down your leg. let me get you a sponge. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the fast acid tracks are stellar (Kyokushin, Flashforward) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Really looking forward to getting this. It'll hopefully coincide with the end of my GCSEs, which would be nice :) |

Hey, I like this album a lot! A pleasant surprise after a few years of boredom. I haven't enjoyed a VS album like this since "Rossz" back in the day. This album doesn't have as much variety as that album, though. This is just pure drill and bass madness. But so far so good! When the breaks are done right and the energy is at place, everything flows smoothly. At 51 minutes, this is more than an EP padded with a couple of fillers (unlike a few of his recent outings). In fact, the album only gets better towards the end. There's some mayhem tracks here. What gerbik said, plus we shouldn't forget Miss Balaton. Detrimentalist is not going to win Venetian Snares many new friends, since it doesn't break (get it?) much new ground, and those who haven't enjoyed his releases so far shouldn't even bother, but as far as Aaron Funk albums go, this one is, yes, cock solid. It launches in my top 5, although probably not in the top 3. |

i wonder if snares is tired of breakcore and wants to write classical, and just released this as a concession to fans *if* it's new material, it doesn't have the ingenuity of old, imo at least compared to when he was first innovating in the genre i'm a snares fan but i only really *loved* bebikukorica nigiri |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like eurocore mvp |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's god awful. nothing new whatsoever. pointless. deleted it already. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it sounds more or less as everything he has ever released... id like to like it, then id had lots of albums to enjoy, but i dont. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like it. all his albums sound the same? no they don't. yes they do. etc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
internal exploration in the same style horizontal evolution |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

it's Venetian! It's got Snares! It's Venetian Snares! *du-dum* PS. Actually it's Canadian. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It leaked? As long as it doesm't shit all over my laptop, or even breathe on it, I don't give a fuck. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm a big venetian snares fan. I haven't heard the album fully yet but I do like 3 or 4 tracks that I've heard from live sets. The samples up at planet-mu don't really do much for me :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's like all he's previous albums - a couple of nice tracks, some less nice. 25-30% good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Listened to it. More mayhem. It's ok, but I've heard better from him years ago, and this just seems to be doing the same thing with those good old breaks mushups and cheesy samples. I used to get annoyed when people said he repeated himself, but really, I've realised the error of my ways these days. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Venetian Snares is fucking boring. I don't like him at all, and don't compare him to AFX |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Lianne? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
got it today....agreed a few absolute crackers (Sajtban, Circle Pit, Miss Balaton) a couple of stinkers (Poo Yourself Jason, Flashforward) and a few good fillers |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Finally got posted yesterday, it's really good. 9/10 here I think. Love the artwork, keep finding stuff in there. The 555 timer on the front was nice to see. |
||||||||
|
|

poo yourself jason & eurocore mvp are 2 of snares' best to date. |
