Great release. Not perfect as some tracks are a bit too weird for my liking (e.g. Dad with its distorted voice). Strong points are In Quod, Sink Snow Angel, Stairs Song and Cashew. |
||||||||
|

cool vsnares is added to the discog :) i love this release of his, quite different from the others imo, so many great tracks; in quod, january, tattoo, stairs song, suffocate, sink snow angel, dad etc... looks like that june2004 album is gonna be quite the same style, can't wait for that, discuss: |

It really bad mix of decent and terrible tracks. I don't know if Snares fancies himself as a comedian, but the track with the about the girl with the machine gun was boring and made him sound like a joke. Far too many of the tracks are exercises in drum programming that get boring after the first 20 seconds. Lacks any emotion or variation for most of the album. I like about 4 of the tracks all together. |
||||||||

I pretty much agree with ya, not a favourite of mine this |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I have not listened to album very much but ecnadniarb's opinion is the same as mine near enough. I do however, LOVE Suffocate, but even that begins to drag after a while. |

Only the same artist but different release.... It says in the discog that you can get Nymphomatriach on Vinyl. I didn't see this anywhere. Where could I get it? |

"Far too many of the tracks are exercises in drum programming that get boring after the first 20 seconds. Lacks any emotion or variation for most of the album." I agree completely. It is almost as if we are watching this artist develop right before our eyes on some sort of a reality IDM show. :D Anyways i prefer Find Candace if i had to choose |

i thought nymphomatriarch was a bit of a let down. i was chatting to snares on slsk and he gave me pervs a while before the album was released. based on that track, i thought the album was going to be pretty decent. i was disappointed. anyone that titles a track 'hymen tramp choir' has my respect tho'. eugh. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's not what I was hoping for to be honest but there's a couple of tracks I'd love to drop in a set. I cant remember their names though. The names are good :) |
||||||||
|

can't believe he split up with rachel kozac so soon. you'd think if you were going to make such an...erm...intimate album you wouldn't be breaking up anytime soon. i guess you can never know what's going to happen tho'. bet it was fun to make. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

|
(sorry for the lack of venetian snares info, but we've just started on adding his stuff, loads of other stuff added lately to the discog tho!) |
||||||||
|

this album is beautiful, more subtle, more precise, calculated etc. ... everything happens exactly when it has to... it gives you a lot more headspace, and the textures are probably the best Snares has offered to date (although i haven't heard the new one yet)... i thought the Danzig cover was cool, and it's always nice when covers are original... as opposed to being mediocre rip-offs... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i actually just downloaded that today, its pretty cool, altho like said above, not much emotion. so far im liking january and in quod |

Different strokes for different folks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Bitty. That's how I'd describe it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't like how "deconstructed" most of the tracks sound, vsnares just doesn't do it for me unless it has some ultra tight hardcore beats going on or brilliant melodies, this release IMO has some of his lamest attempts at melodies, and the blipiness of the drums detracts from how they sound, I could rate almost any other release of his higher than this |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
got a link to some Danzig pics then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like it a lot, these deconstructed glitched up VSNARES releases are my kinda VSNARES, Songs About My Cats is still tops with me. His drill stuff on the other hand, I find predictable and dull. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That was a cover of a Misfits song, you stump. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this is his best album by a long chalk.. its like classical muisc with the melodies. and the drums are fucking wicked much more original than his d'n'b stuff (which incidently kicks mutherfuckin ass). every track on this album is essential as far as i can see |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wow I think I have the opposite musical taste in some respects to some of you people. this album is hella emotional and the melodies are very touching. I dig the semi-detached, claustrophobic, depressed mood and the mind-numbing rhythmic structure. my favorite snares album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this album is beautiful I am amazed how so many people dislike it here, I thought this mb was very pro snares |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's not a case of disliking it, but in relation to other stuff it isn't that amazing. I really really don't mind snares and I do listen to his stuff quite often, it is just that there is often more waste than quality on his albums...If you took his music output for a year you could select an album worth of excellent tracks, which for me at least, would be better than 3 inconsistent albums. Equally I know a lot of it is down to taste. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree, but perhaps this is better for the fans...this way everyone can make a compilation out of the tunes they like. im sure vsnares would be more appreciated by many people then, but this way is better for his fans.so im ok with it. actually i wouldn't mind if afx would be doing the same thing. |
||||||||
|

|
I dont see weak tracks in doll doll doll, find candance or making orange things nor in witboas i guess you ve got a wider knowledge of music anyway so... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm, making orange things is the only one i can listen from start to finish...well sometimes doll doll doll too. i like his stuff, but im not crazy about it :) i would like to see him live again tho... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It depends on whether you expect your fans to download or buy your album...I don't buy new snares, I buy new autechre and I would probably still buy new Aphex though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its incredible though how many he has released in just 3 years. its not my opinion, but for those who think he has weak and inconsistent releases, they must admit that at least 3 or 4 of his releases are top material... and thats far better than average (3 or 4 great albums in 3 years) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not really...you throw enough shit and some of it will stick. If you have spent £200+ on 3 to 4 excellent albums worth of stuff you aren't going to be too happy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what has this to do with money? art is priceless. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anyway its not my case I am loving all of it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't regret buying any of my snares releases, in fact i listen to'em far more often than to my squarepusher and afx stuff.. none of his stuff bores me :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Not when you have to pay for it. Hippy ideals have no place in the modern world and the sooner you beetniks realise it the better. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and I find them to be very diferent ones from others (except find candance and doll which seem like a series) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this cd is beautiful one of my alltime favourites |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i was very impressed by the rhythm element of this album. the extreme attention to detail in snares' programming prevails. i do however find the melodies a bit lacking and sometimes incomplete. i'm a fan of "dad", i think the vocals work very well on that track especially. quite liked "in quod" as well, but there weren't really any other tracks that i wanted to listen to much. so i gave it to a friend. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i do however find the melodies a bit lacking and sometimes incomplete. thats because you're listening to the master of half assed melodies over boring breaks |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
sorry, ill get outta here |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you love venetian snares |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lets just say i love to hate :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i like the melodic content of quite a lot of the snares records i've heard. the tunes on,say, 2370894 (my fave snares cd) are maybe a little more subtle at times,but i find they encourage repeated listening. i just haven't found the tunes on w.i.t.b.o.a.s. or "huge chrome..." particularly inspiring y'know. the last track of the latter is a notable exception. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, you love his music |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
genius |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hah, ive had this album for months and months, listened to it here and there, thought it was ok, but these past few days, its just totally grown on me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this one is really one of his bests at least so I think for me the best are: making orange things songs about my cats doll doll doll witboas hccbu |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry to bump this a year later... but didnt want to start new thread, cos people go wild against it listening to this now I ve been this last days listening to all the vsnares cds from last album to first one (released) now I reached doll doll doll and its without a doubt one of the strongest musically talking... apart from being very suffocating, strong and dark, it is beautiful and very powerful, with a deep sense of music I would say... not only beats or melodies... simply good structured music top quality |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fuck me in the ass... I was trying to post in the doll doll doll album... and it doesnt exist so, please forgive me, I was talking about doll doll doll, so I shouldnt have posted in this thread mistake and not drunk |
