I like this one on the whole, although sometimes it lags a bit (I'm getting tired of those climaxes where the drums just go insane for a few minutes.)
I like the pigeon track. What the hell is the poem about, and who is saying it? It cracked me up when I first heard it.

it's just a concept album, venetian snares is very VERY good at doing beats, but isn't all that good at melodies texture etc.. even for classical this isn't really anything special, however the breakcore/classical crossover is definitely something rarely seen, I can only imagine that people who would recommend this album, do not have much experience and understanding in the genre that VS excells at
all I'm saying is it's crap for venetian snares, anyone who prefers this over his other releases has just been waiting for an excuse to say "look look, he's made something somewhat intellectual, now stupid IDM eletists like us who can't enjoy anything unless someone says it's a musical masterpeice (which it isn't) can enjoy it"

What if just for a day we could both be pigeons? Sometimes one moment in time can take on such an important significance that it becomes and endless world unto itself and everything outside of that moment, past and future spots in time, become the folklore of the world
What if we could both fly over the Kiralyi Palota and see it just as these pigeons do? A beautiful culture of dissimilar angles as donkey angels above the city.
But even in the world of the infinite moment, we cannot choose the feather of our bird and the pigeon may long to be the goose, the donkey the pigeon and so on. Furthermore as our world blossoms out of this single tick in time, it is for one pigeon a swirling romantic flood of euphoric possibility and fascination, for the other an inferior life of shitting on everyone from the sky, awkward and ashamed, resigning themselves to be the wrteched nuisance they are painted as by those they shit on.
Ultimately, as quickly as our world blooms, our world is discordant and our pigeons are wounded and as our world dies, we die, and we are extinct. If only we could kill ourselves over and over until we get it right.
So just as an entire hgenre can be born out of one sped up ten second breakbeat, a full symphony orchestra can come together in perfect unison to create that perfect moment in time, thus every moment can give birth to an entirely new world, and every world can house the perfedct moment, and just as that breakbeat may be broken beyond any recognition, that orchestra can combine to bring forth a dissonant barrage of colossal sorrow, and so the moment disintegrates it's world and that world suffocates the moment under it's collapse.
These are love songs and grief songs.

On paper its should be excellent. I didn't believe Xammax when he said the leak was disapointing, I really thought and wanted it would blow everything away. But really, I don't think it touches his other stuff, really. I've listened to it once or twice but there's no moments of complete "fuck this is out there" calibre, for me.

i don't think it's his best because the style doesn't feel as though it's particularly natural to him like his best work does, but it's great because it's different and he's trying something new and its fun and its focused and perhaps easier to digest than some of his other releases.

Sure, I have no beef with Rossz, but its not as groundbreaking as I thought it would be.
But hey, listening to that meathole track on snares' myspace - I think this one will be very interesting indeed!

i love rossz. when i heard it i knew i'd run out and buy it. it was just the right album at just the right time. meathole isn't sounding as fresh. i think the best 'dark' album aside from dollx3 was find candace. i put that in the other day and remembered why i loved this guys music.

ive got those files somewhere. ill have to dig em out for another listen. think i found them around the same time but didnt quite get the same vibe as that bitter earth track..
if not vsnares is there someone else who does similar kinda stuff. its almost dj shadow-ish. just real nice break programing.

That release is really not like the majority of his stuff unfortunately. But you could do worse than check out the more melodic end of his spectrum - Winter in the Belly of a Snake is perhaps the closest to the Bitter Earth sound, but pretty different. Check it out though, it will knock you down.
