printf<"shiver in eternal darkness/n">;
I just bought this yesterday from gemm
and today I got a mail saying it had already been posted... so I may get it next week
I would like some reviews about this album. you will say, go to vsnares.com or planet mu and look for reviews there... well that would be an option if I only want the good reviews... but here I know I will get bad and good reviews... which will make a richer info for me
with this, now I have everything by mr aaron that has been released in cd format

nezzwerk
venetian snares is a bastard child of drum&bass that destroys its parent to see what it's made of, and then builds a creature of its own from the scattered remnants with twisted humor and wicked mastery, injecting a healthy dose of juvenile ferocity and love for chaos and disturbance.
this cd is twisted drumn&bass offspring where there's only the name and most common elements left of the genre, the rest is free improvisation where main features are constant change, experimentation and an incredible mix of different sounds. short crashing speedcore passages, dense drill&bass, explosive noisy patterns, sparse strings and short ambient moments make up this release.

part 2
minimal "fire is in the devil" with almost beefcake feel of dark emotional strings and sparse cut-up corroded percussion that slowly evolves and speeds up is contrasted by pure driving energy of "suasive chess strategy" with its crushing ferocity of speedcore passages, interrupted by moments of twisted confused ambience. "hours" and "aqap" keep up with the pace, overloading the listener with myriad of changing shapes.
straightforward and aggressive approach of "punishing the atoms" is contrasted by dark complex arrangements of "stuck" where constant percussion explores dark passages filled with fading samples, mysterious noises and dislocated strings.
what I have noticed on quite a few tracks was a fair amount of somewhat childish attitude - punk-rock and downright trashy. this is something I could easily fall for few years ago, but here it sounds a bit out of place. it seems that the band is afraid to take itself seriously hiding behind intentional funkiness, goofy samples inserted when the atmosphere is starting to get overly serious.
composition-wise it could be improved - roughly half of the tracks at times seem to be somewhat awkwardly put together with widest range of sounds scattered at what seems to be completely random fashion, exploring sound manipulations rather than creating a cohesive atmosphere. but at the same time the same variety seems to draw me in and makes me listen to this album again and again.
overall this is a very refreshing and interesting cd that is a great example of musicians that are coming from a different background, embracing aggressive abrasive sound, blending techno and noisy elements together; something very promising and definitely recommended to widest audience

this is okay, but definitely not as good as his later work... it's a lot closer to drum'n'bass beats wise... still the samples are highly entertaining... the star wars song... and "...i'm just waiting to get you right inside my mouth!"

as long as we're harping on details, printf is a C, not C++ function, so it would be called with normal parenthesis, rather than <>s.

Punishing the Atoms is a fucking stormer of a track. But not his best.
There are too many good Snares tracks for there to be a best.

i know i'm a pedantic programmer, but is the album actually called that? it's syntax is incorrect.
should be
printf("shiver in eternal darkness\n");
(\n is a newline, no fucking clue what /n is supposed to be, and <> are typically only used for things such as system includes.
eh who cares though

judging by every other work by venetian snares that i have heard, i'd say printf is actually pretty weak in comparisson.
it happens to be the one i listen to the least of all. hell i even listen to badminton more than printf. its just a poor early representation of what doll doll doll ended up being.

can't really say cos each album has some tracks i hate and some i love, but for argument's sake i'll say:
1: doll doll doll 2: WITBOAS 3: higgins 4: nymphomatriarch 5: chocolate wheelchair
find candace, 7 sevens, shitfuckers and GHCC would all be up there with them.
7 sevens is my fave release of all, but you said album so i didn't put it in.
all the other releases fall below the standard of these ones.
but i actually haven't heard HCCBU yet so i can't say where i'd put that

strong and cohesive.. with a great structure int racks... very atmospheric despite being harsh
I love it
and it has nothing to do with what he does now... I cant understand why people say he always does the same tunes
