Here here.
Honestly at this point VS is the only artist who's releases I look forward to. All of the so-called classic electronic artists have run out of ideas.
Chocolate Wheelchair rules - his best release on Planet-Mu in my opinion. The remix is Motley Crue is particularly satisfying as is Epidermis, my favourite track of the past 2 years.

I (personally) think Snares' music is about 5+ years ahead of its time...
hahaha I bet you are still looking forward to the millennium in 5 years time...

"Just slam this baby in your CD player or play it from winamp, boost the volume and enjoy."
Exactly. Throw it in the deck in your car and take a ride. It's great like that.
I appreciate the complexity of it all, as well. His stuff is fun to listen to.

Nah I thought that was pretty much shit as well, maybe even more than CW. There are a few good tracks on everything he releases. And I like the Salt EP but he isn't consistent enough. Maybe I don't get his humour on some of his tracks which would obviously effect the way I think of it, I think the vocal samples he uses are cheesy and stupid. I still stand by all the stuff I wrote above.

i hated this record, only listened once -- but i do like a bit of vsnares. more of a find candace fan, to be honest. and i think witboas has some great moments on it...(though i swear to god there is a direct skinny puppy rip on it somewhere -- just can't quite place it).

okay, i love doll doll doll, find candace, and giant alien force... how do the chocolate wheelchair and winter in the belly of a snake albums compare? i'm under the impression that they're a bit different.
btw - HUGE CHROME CYLINDER BOX UNFOLDING is on the planet-mu site and the samples sound pretty cool to me.

'Chocolate Wheelchair' is more 'Higgins Ultra Low...' style,
and 'Winter in the Belly of a Snake' is cold, more minimal, bleak.

i dont like snares...it just too lame with all the darkness,evil and the covers are just so "ooh..look,..im so scary"...his music doesnt progress..there is no flow..just fast drum progamming and a few odd samples (usually of the lame "scary" type)..the melodies are shit..and i just fail to see what's the fuzz is about...sure, i understand that he knows how to program and produce..but composing isnt his thing...
kthxbye

don't like him either...
almost everything sounds like a "reaktor ensemble" which generates random noizes, chopped-beats and so on...
no feeling, no emotion, no structure... just a bunch of noizes!

didn't bother to read this whole thread apart from the first post. Personally I'm not feeling his tracks much, some are great though ..and he defenitely has his own style of programming which is to be applauded.

Will people just accept that we all have different tastes and shut the fuck up?
I'm tired of the same old arguments about him being untalented, that his work has no emotion (ever heard of anger? that's an emotion too you know) and worst of all his beats are 'random'... get the fuck out of my face with that shit.

You're just in denial...it is commonly accepted now that my taste is the only taste that matters.
Far enough his beats aren't random...but they might as well be because he doesn't let them flow.
Also do you really think his music is angry???

chocolate wheelchair is probably tied with higgins for me. i love all the ragga stuff and those two albums have the most of it. i don't like songs about my cats much at all. also most of the dark ambient stuff just doesnt have much of an impact on me.

I'd be more interested in your opinion on the album if you liked vsnares, because I haven't heard the chocolate wheelchair, yet I know that snares rocks my motherfucking world, I just don't know if chocolate wheelchair will.

Snares sounds like a Squarepusher rip off. Remove all the pretty melodies and jazzyness of Squarepusher, replace the amen drums with harsh headache samples driven faster than fuck, and viola! you have Venetian Snares.
He has a few good songs, but please. This shit gets real old, real fast.
Snares music reminds me of some Goth kid who has a reasonable amount of intelligence but he tries to hard to be 'different' by dressing up in black all the time and forcefully being 'hardcore/dark' because everone 'normal' cant stomach 'hardcore'.

Anyway for the 100th post and in total conclusion
IF YOU LIKE VSNARES YOU ARE EITHER STUPID OR SPANISH...
