Sneak previews of every track on the new V Snares release on his brand new album "My So-Called Life"

Jesus, I'm so excited! 'Cadaverous' sounds like such a ridiculously heavy track, I've heard it dropped on some of his live sets....'Welfare Wednesday' sounds amazing too, jump up turned pure evil!!

The whole album sounds like a mix between the bangin' acid dirtiness of Filth and the insane Jungle of Detrimentalist, with a lovely bunch of Aaaron Funk surrealness and mindf*ckery blending it all together....

Some may call it unlistenable, but this dude owns drum programming literally like no other and has proved his musical worth in more melodic releases.

Hail to the KING!!!!!!

Can't belive Hajnal has been out-Hajnal'd by Hajnal2. That so heavy, it should be irregal.

I bet this thread will get zero replies

Oh well, It's not the most accessible music in the world, there's nobody sexy dancing to it and it makes babies cry and dogs howl so fair enough.

I'm thankful there's still original artist pushing the boundaries of music though, and that there's still people prepared to piss around outside of 4/4 programming.

I'd urge anyone curious to give it a go, you never know you might like the crazy little rhythms within and catch yourself rocking like you were in an asylum.

Wow, another Venetian Snares fan, I've never actually met anyone else that's even heard of them before. Good review of the album, I'll have a listen to the preview at home later. I love what he does, such intricate patterns, really fierce, dark and hard. Excellent use of samples as well.

Yay! A fellow fan, nice one!!!! I love his work, and put it in a seperate box of musical genius beyond anybody else, I feel such a connection with all of his work, I only wish I was that talented and diligent myself!

I was excited about this release before, but now I've heard the snippets I'm literally jumping around with excitement. It all sounds very listenable (well by V Snares standards!!), kinda dancey but still incredibly dark and hard and with interesting time sigs that'll confuse your brain and feet. Aswell as the traditional gross, dark and amusingly sick samples!

i think the only people who'd be in the box with him is Bogdan Raczynski and maybe Squarepusher, although V Snares does make Squarepusher sound almost chilled out at times.

My fave track has to be Children's Limbo, possibly the darkest track I've ever heard, actually send shivers up my spine.

I can't even work out how he makes those drum patterns, unless it takes him an absolute age programming them to such detail. Even my hardest and darkest tunes don't come anywhere near such brutality.

Yeah, I'll getting this album as soon as it becomes available.

I couldn't possibly name a single Snares track as an individual fave but 'My Crutch' is amazing and li2CO3 too....A lot of his earlier stuff is harder to class as 'tracks' like I adore 'abomination street', but it is kinda a bit silly

I thought these guys hailed from somewhere in Eastern Europe?! Well, that's what I assumed from the album title Rossz Csillag, lol. Would never have guessed they were from Canada!

"I don't suppose this would interest you, young man?"
"A drum, my very own drum"
"Try it out young Adam"

And the beat that drops is insane! Would there be a particular reason that "Aaron" is follwed by the number 2? Very dark sound, not at all reflected by the album cover!

It's just one dude, a Canadian chap named Aaron Funk' (though he does look like a proper viking!)

I don't know if Funk is his surname by birth but damn it's pretty cool innit!!!

I've got 'Welfare Wednesday' stuck in my head and need to sort it before I go in public lest I shout "An egg salad sandwich.....In your punani!!!!" at someone and get punched

Oh, just one guy then! I did have a butchers at his Wikipedia image and you're right, he does look a bit Nordic (that link won't open for me )

I think I'm gonna hijack Who Wants Cake as my current anthem, as it's precisely how I feel after spending too much time in certain threads.

Just make sure you've got an MP3 player to back you up in case you do randomly blurt those lyrics out!!

At least then I'll just get sectioned rather than beaten!

Not the best music to listen to if you've got a head ache - I mean that in a good way - it certainly gets the brain cells working, their music is absolutely crazy.Not what I would want to listen to all the time but when I am bored with the atmospheric / melancholic music I usually listen to they are ones I would turn to.

Totally agree scratchy, it's kind of hard work to attend to sometimes, like listening to 4 or 5 songs at once! The payoff is worthwhile though
Posers & Camera Phones

What are you ordering, CD/Vinyl/MP3/WAV?

I do want a physical to go with the rest of my CD collection but don't want to wait for it, think I'll get the WAVs on the 23rd. If you're ordering a physical, then I'll zip up the HQ WAVs and send them over to you while you're wating for it, if you want?

BBC Review

A little tough, or maybe I'm just immature, but "I think she may be retarded" makes me snigger Bang on the money with Aaron 2 though, that was the one that stood out as my favourite too along with the chaos of Ultraviolet Junglist.

Hey man

I've just got the MP3s for now, although I'll get the CD in a week or so when I have pennies to spare.

I love it, hasnt dissapointed at all, as far as casual listening goes 'ultraviolent junglist' is my fave track so far, although there's far too much in the alum to just pick a single 4 minutes to love. For example the first crazy drill in Hajnal2 that goes on and on for like 8 bars nearly gave me a heart attack lol!

Yeah, 'Who wants cake?' makes me giggle too, I love the way V Snares makes a piece of music that would be considered a compositional masterpiece and then 'ruins' it with a childish/sick/weird sample all over the top It's like musical dadaism.

Having read the BBC review I do somewhat agree, although I wouldnt call it hit and miss and I wouldn't call the puerile and surreal sampling 'less funny the further you are from puberty' or whatever it is, well, maybe I'm just immature but I like it because it shits all over something beautiful, not just because he says a rude word.

I don't think it ruins the music either, the opposite in fact! Another comment for the "controversial" thread; "hot producers" such as RedOne and Timbaland aren't hot at all, they mass produce crap by numbers and update the algorithm when a new fad comes along, none of them have a fraction of an ounce of the creativity Aaron does.

If you was to take Munch's "Scream" and paint it in the style of a Picasso, then it'd put you somewhere in the right direction of Aaron's creative brilliance; organised chaos with sinister undertones, it's what makes it beautiful.
