New Snares Review

From Kerrang! magazine...

Venetian Snares - 'Winter In The Belly Of A Snake'

Unintelligeble third release of discordant dirges from Aaron
Funk.

"If your PC could sing you a love song, it would sound
something like this odd and rather disturbing concotion of
sounds. Yes, Mr Funk's at it again with an allegedly more
mature album that ditches his more abrasive early
'breakcore' material for a darker and more thoughtful edge.
While piano twinkles, opera excerpts, poetry samples and
erratic synths may be apt for the soundtrack to some crazy
art student experiment, it couldn't be further from a
satisfying or indeed pleasurable listening experience.

'WITBOAS' apparently contains a strong emotional
content dealing with relationships, death and rebirth,
although you'd struggle to find any coherent thought
processes behind the syncopated clinks, clunks and incessant
discord, leaving a cold, ultimately oppressive and
nonsensical collection of overly challenging tracks."

Rating: 1/5

Surprised they even reviewed this, although they have also
given 1/5 to Merzbow releases in the past. I think the key
phrase here might be "overly challenging" :D

They namecheck Aphex every now and again but they haven't
reviewed any of his stuff.

Music critics piss me off. They are basically telling
mainstream society not to buy that album. Even though their
opinions are subjective, its hard to believe that rating.
