______________
i think infolepsy is a pretty good release, now having
listened to it proper about 3-4 times.

twelve is one of the better snares tracks i've heard.... i
really think he's got a nice niche when he works with goofy
samples collected from odds and ends in bargain bins (the
polka track on the snares mang! 7" comes to mind as well),
in fact, if snares wants to work on his mass appeal i'd
definitely have that goofy element prevalent in a lot of
tracks.

let's face it, the guy's "style" doesnt really reach out to
the core of humanity or anything, his broad appeal is with
people who have listened to the types of music that his
stuff is a derivative of (drum and bass, drill and bass)...

his style is more, dare i say it, random as opposed to
contrived. now i'm not saying random as a bad thing, in
fact, lemme append what i said there... his style is more
pure variance than a contrived buildup. compare his beats to
aphex twins: aphex tends to have a logical progression to
his (quite frankily amazingly well made) beats, building up
to some sort of a creshendo at the end of the track.

snares changes it up. every time. around every corner lurks
a completely new structure that wasnt teased earlier in the
track. it's always something new over and over and over
again.

to me, the inherent nature of his ever-changing variance
isn't going to captivate the masses. it's a hard sell to
people who are comfortable with their love for repetitious
drum beats, three chord riffs, and white guys whining about
some bitch that doesnt fuck them anymore.

so i really think where snares will find his broadest
audience is pandering to people's willingness to accept
goofiness, zaniness, and a pseudo-evil mentality.

you could argue that snares take on music is a piss take of
jungle music. if thats the case, tracks like 12 are going to
be his most famous as more mainstream-type people are going
to probably like the element of the goofy children's record
sounding countdown to 12 ge

countdown to 12 getting chopped up and reworked.

cuz also remember, to people like us chopping up vocal
samples and spazzing the men loop is a quite frankily tired
convention of beatmashing. to a lot of virgins out in the
mainstream, they've never heard it done b4, and someone like
the funky one could probably make a killing with his style
being the cherry popping in terms of cut and paste drill and
bass for the masses.

to touch on a very interesting comparison joyrex made the
other day (comparing the deluge of snares releases and
willingness to remix now to the mid-90s rdj era), i think
that snares has a chance to be a pretty solid longtime
beatmasher. i hestiate to call him a musician right now, and
well i quite frankily think the guy would agree with me.
he's not going to go down in history as a beethoven, and
while i dont know for sure, i dont expect him to be a
musical prodigy who could play the piano or guitar. hell he
prolly cant dance either. he takes a more empirically-driven
approach, perhaps a more computerized approach in other
words, to what he does.

snares frustrated me when i first started gettin into
listening to his shit a couple'a years ago. the guy seemed
to have the right idea of how to present himself and his
music, but he never seemed to bear down and focus on the
track at hand and make a truly great track, he'd just keep
getting random type stuff and never really develop any
momentum to what he was doing.

over the last few months, partially thanks to the dearth of
great electronic music that i've been in (altho i've reached
out to several "new" or smaller-names that i hadnt heard
before, and i've been liking the variance) i've consumed a
whole lot of snares and grown more of an appreciation for
what he's about.

nine times out of 10, when you pop in a snares disc, you
know exactly what the fuck you're gonna get (unless it's
winter in the belly of a snake or huge chrome giant crap
unfolding, two "snares-lite" albums i can do without) and
for that reason i do li

for that reason i do like him for what he is. i guess when i
first heard him i was sitting there thinking about what he
COULD be, and not what he actually IS.

i accept that now, and sometimes i just wanna dive into 10
minutes of mindfuck cut and paste megamashed 100% variant
drill and bass. thats when i get my snares fix. but
sometimes i want more subtle genius music (lets face it,
theres not much, if anything, subtle about the snares
mang).. i still cant take snares in long doses, but i really
do appreciate him for being what he IS nowadays, and i
couldnt do that before.

so back to infolepsy, it's solid str8up snares. i cant say i
dig the non-breakbeat hardcore track (#2) but this is very
good and very solid snares stuff that does what you'd expect
it to do, and not much more than that.

so to snares, good job mang... keep doin what you do because
even once-snobby oldschool heads like me are appreciating
the fact that at least one guy out there doesnt have his
head up his ass thinking hes some sort of musical genius
megaartist who needs to push the boundaries of what we call
music. fuck that. this guy comes out and rocks the place,
and while there's something to be said fo musical genius and
envelope-pushing/definition-challenging transcendental
music, there are also times, and quite frankily a lot of
them, where the house just needs the roof blown off of it by
straightup straightforward pure smashing energy rage and
pisstaking, and thats where i think snares has found his
core collection of fans.

take autechre for example, they're all on some megaartistic
wanktacular kick making crap music that their remaining
hardcores defend by calling misunderstood and consequently
non-appreciated art... their hears ARE up their ass.

i think snares saw a sagging genre and came in with a great
fucking attitude and perspective on things, and thats why
he's going to be a prevalent name around our genre for quite
some time.

so cheers, mister funk, you're doing a "quite good" job.
