What are you listening to at the present? (genres helpful)

I can only take gabba and hard house in small doses. As someone that listens to everything Venetian Snares releases, I've learned to appreciate the style a little bit, but it's really not a favorite genre of mine.

Winnipeg still eludes my capture, as do Candace and Doll at non ridiculous prices.

I didn't like Winnipeg that much. Doll Doll Doll is good, but Find Candace is AMAZING. Easily in my Top 5 VSnares albums.

I agree. Find Candace improved on everything that Doll Doll Doll did well. It's just a dark and brutal album. It would make my top 5 list as well, along with Rossz Scillag Alatt Szuletett, Winter in the Belly of a Snake, A Giant Alien Force..., and Detrimentalist.

This one I like though: Venetian Snares - Szamár Madár

Very stylish...

wow JT we have very similar taste in his music then. My Top 5

1. Winter in the Belly of a Snake
2. Find Candace
3. Rossz
4. Higgins Ultra Low
5. (depends on what day you ask me, haha -- maybe Chocale Wheelchair?)

ps, I used to have the Giant Alien Force t-shirt, but lost it.

I don't have the t-shirt, but I have the mini disc in the red jewelery box thing with the view finder television inside. I've been buying all of his albums ever since he released Winter in the Belly of a Snake, so I have a lot of the things that are harder to find these days. I have a lot of the singles too and the Last Step side project stuff. I just haven't bought My So Called Life yet.

You need to watch the fan video for that song.

I found his side project album Last Step rather meh.

[noiseredux]

I started buying them around the time of Higgens or the "telephone" outtakes album came out. I was really really obsessive too, but I actually don't think I've bought one since Hospitality now. I really slowed down my music buying the last few years. But Aaron Funk is totally great. OH! I also had a promo copy of the Nymphomatriarch album he did with Hecate.

After Hospitality I think My Downfall and Detrimentalist are both worth getting, though I don't care a lot for Pink & Green, Filth, or Horsey Noises. What I've heard of My So Called Life isn't that great either, which is why I haven't bothered to pick it up yet.

This is my favorite track on Detrimentalist, to give you sense of it:


The main musicians I am an obsessive collector about are Nine Inch Nails, Venetian Snares, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, and Amon Tobin. Also, my wife is obsessed with Tori Amos, so my collection of Tori stuff has been folded into hers, which is immense.

[Hobie-wan]

In recent years I've learned about artists and then gone nuts acquiring large chunks of their catalog in a short period of time. I've done this with Scorn, Enduser, Tub Ring, the Speed Limit 140 BPM+ series, and of course Venetian Snares.

hahaha nice b/w Nymphomatriarch cover!
