im planning to get my first album by vs so im looking for something new and exploding... so, what's vs best album? (an little style description will be helpful, thanks) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok it should be vs best album now you can answer... well... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah get on with it I want to know too ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
of the only albums i've heard fully (songs about my cats, salt EP and doll doll doll) i would definately say doll doll doll. dollmaker and all the children are dead are fucking raw songs |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
here's a little breakdown of some albums for you: doll doll doll - sick, twisted breakcore, some of the darkest shit you'll ever hear, not for the weak at heart higgins ultra low... - probably the one i would recommend for the vsnares newb, vsnares' version of a friendly album, very melodic, but still noise creditable 237 0894 - vsnares newest album, much like higgins, very jazzy, but like every other vsnares album, its got it's moments songs about my cats - very freakish wierd album, hard to describe, sheer brilliance in every moment of it though, my personal favorite making orange things - vsnares + speed ranch = total fucking noise choas, indescribeable start with those 4. when youve done that, come back and we'll move on to some of the more obscure releases |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
237 0894 is unquestionably my favorite Snares album. His most musically developed, matured, polished album to date. Very listenable, especially since it's a b-sides/outtakes compilation. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Songs about my Cats is a good place to start....... ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Songs about my Cats may not be the best place to start as it is fairly abstract..but it's one of the most incredible albums I have heard in a while..the fine line between madness and genius repeatedly trodden and stomped over all over that album... Dolls Dolls Dolls is fairly easy listening and straightforward by comparison |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I would say Higgins is the best thing to get first for a newbie, i started on Song about my Cats, and it scared the shit out of me, i thought Chinaski was going to stay like that the whole way like it does in the first 20 seconds What a shock i got |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Best to hear the abstract first i say. I never knew Autechre sounded the way they did on Amber or Tri Repetae... coz i started around Confield. It was strange i say... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not that this thread is about Autechre... but hey. Nah, go for the full on in-yer-face stuff first! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Shitfuckers!!! is amazing... get Doll Doll Doll or printf to start with... then get Making Orange Things... the other two will prepare you for Orange Things... >:-D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
doll doll doll's a good place to start. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I would say Higgins Ultra Low Track Glue Funk Hits |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i got printf and its nice n dark and drilly and awkward.......... what i wanna know is if ya LOVE squarepusher, would ya love VSnares? Any point comparing them. In fact... compare em and let me know too!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
all I have is dolls, and though it tends to seriously distort my brain waves, it is very good. I need to buy more soon. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, you do ! |
||||||||

Songs About My Cats & Making Orange Things www.phonoclub.de Printf & Shitfuckers adnoiseam.net/label/order/index.htm Snares Man 7" digitalworldnet.org/mailorder/stock.html Doll Doll Doll is pretty easy to find. Higgins & 2370894 should be in Warpmart again soon next time they have a Planet Mu Restock As for 7.sevens.med, Salt, Defluxion & Greg Hates Car Culture: good luck! |

Cex/Venetian Snares split 12": Connected digitalworldnet.org/mailorder/stock.html A Giant Alien Force.... www.ant-zen.com Dunno where you could possibly find Fuck Canada/Fuck America Hope this helps. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've never heard a single song by venetian snares, so I'll just say their best album is "Barney Dinosaur TripHop Mega Happy Hardcore Adventure Land, Part II" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fuck canada/america was a limited release on some CD-Rs, im sure if you meet up with Aaron you could ask him for a copy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
7 seven med isnt that hard to find either, but greg......you'll SURELY die trying |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah I got 7 sevens med in England a few weeks ago, was damn happy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no printf is his first full lenght.... really good too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
any comparisonjs to Squarepusher, lads. I'm reading that Vsnares is jazzy on some albums, noisey on others... all can be said of SP but does he have a similar energy, drive, sence of melody, rhtymn, structure, reference, magic? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes and no. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh you're a mine of information! I guess you're saying .... "just fucking listen to it and make your own mind up"? okay, damn you, i will!! i just like peoples opinions..... you got any about what i;, talkin about |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Haha, sorry, what I meant is that it might have some squarepusher sound to you and it might have not. The higgins album to me is obviously informed by Go Plastic, but I don't know what are the key features of Squarepusher's sound for you, so..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree with Ward on this one. get Shitfuckers! It's VSnares at its rawest. I would also recommend Ultra Higgins, awesome album!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Phatbert: how is Doll Doll Doll easy to get hold of? I can't find it in-stock anywhere, only on back order. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks to everyone, you make things a bit easier... :) |
||||||||

I just assumed that as I saw 3 copies in my local record store here in Augsburg the other day. But that may be because Hymen is a German label. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
of the 12" that is, not the CD. But I've seen it in many online stores. try boomkat.com |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
snares's rhythmic style is pretty different than pusher's. it's a lot flatter and less reliant on layering and emulation of actual drumming. there are plenty of weird grooves, though, and the unusual time signatures add a lot rythmically. |
