Montreal - November 18, 2002 3 p.m.
Today, thethirdball went over to Cheap Thrills and purchased their only copy of Venetian Snares - Winter in the Belly of a Snake.
* * *
I'm currently listening to it for the first time. It's out in the US and Canada - so all you Yanks and Canucks can get your copy now.
Oh yeah - it's darn good too.

I was hesitant to give it a review, fearing that I would ruin it for some of you but...
Venetian Snares Review ---------------------------- by thethirdball
Venetian Snares will spend the rest of his career trying to live up to his seminal Doll Doll Doll. With Winter in the Belly of a Snake, Mr. Funk may have done it. This is a bit of a departure - understated at times - but missing none of the VS attitude. Think of a menage-a-trois with Shitfuckers, Songs About My Cats and I Care Because You Do as the principle participants and you're halfway there.
The opening track "Dad" is particularly moving considering that he singing about his own father - who passed away. But that's only the beginning - it's sets the mood maintained throughout this release. That mood is in a word, melancholic. This album just feels sad - if you can dig that - you'll love it.
This is really everything I look for in album. It has a cohesive spirit - and sends shivers up the spine.
Next level shit.

Don't give up Zeus but if all else fails...
According to WATMM he's selling copies on tour. And he'll be Montreal December 6th. Why not make the trip?

I don't know Monoid, I think you're missing something - then again with Snares you either love it or you hate it. As you can probably guess I love it.
VSnares has an aggressive edge that Squarepusher just can match. Don't get me wrong I love Squarepusher but his style is more reserved - for example, he's never produced anything as raw as "One Eye". VSnares is a distinctive talent as far as I'm concerned.

god DAMMIT this album rules!
at first, i was kind of like "holy shit, thats nuts" cause there is so much randomness... but its kinda like confield to me... you start accept it all.
Now i just think of it as ambeint noise music. its lots of noise and rythems but without a "groove" so it becomes somewhat a soundscape
beautiful.

i showed it to my boss.
She kind of liked it. She said its not something she would buy, or listen to, but she appriciatted it for what it was, even if she didnt understand it.
She said it sounds like "music by people on acid, for people on acid" haha.

i must admit this is my first purchase of VS!
people talked about him, and so i went to planetmu.com and looked for some sound clips, a few months ago, and WITBOAS was the first clip i heard, and I decided that was the first one I want to get...
