Insanity on a drum machine.......2004-11-08

Experimental jungle? IDM? Glitch? Some twisted form of drum and bass? Who knows? Or cares? All I do know, as a fan of rock music for the most part, is that Venetian Snares aka Aaron Funk is one of the most exciting musical artists to have come my way in some time. Funk totally rejects the repetitive, stagnant drum and bass beats and the same old bass lines for twisted, unpredictable ever changing drum patterns that often don't even have a time signiture. Frequently its the melody or bass line (if indeed, either are used) that keeps the music together.

But don't be under the misconception that Venetian Snares is random noise. Ever wondored what it must be like ramming 9 inch nails through your ears? That experience is probably similar to this. But in a good way. The percussion is staggeringly complex with all sorts of weird noises added to the mix. The music is often stop/start - some parts seem to have a rythm while others a flurry of noisy effects. But the most important thing is that it works. And it works really well.

If you're not familiar with drum and bass then this will change your perception of it completely. If you are, it may even do the same. Either way, this is an album worth hearing if only for the shock factor alone, but its really much more than that.

This is awful.......2004-08-31

My god this is soo awful, how can the above reviewer compare this shiet to dnb, it's like you put a two year old having a tantrum in front of a synthisizer. Pure Shiet IMO =) Each to their own!

ONLY for the technically advanced!.......2004-06-10

I first heard VS on a Lowres comp 2X12, then checked out his solo album Lowres#7 and was thinking to myself, We are now traveling to a new realm of aggressive broken beat. I limit my self to mostly Austraillian breakcore and industrial hardcore (Bloody fist records, Exteme electronics, Power violence records, ect..) I was very much getting into Epsilon's tech style so once i heard VS it took it into another level. He's truly a gifted man when it comes to making his music. The amount of sounds and albums he has created in the past 2 years is incredible. Insanely off the wall and disconnected from your everyday break beat time frames, get it.

VS's exclusive tour of DnB.......2003-09-11

It's quite funny that another reviewer mentioned Aphex Twin's "Selected Ambient Works 85-92" as the title, "Higgins Ultra Low Track Glue Funk Hits 1972-2006" is an obvious mockery of that very title, and in years to come may be considered just as revolutionary as Aphex's former work. Those who condsider it so, will be wrong. This album is not at all about introducing something new. It continues Arron Funk's (VS's) earlier work of cutting and pasting samples to crate new beat expressions, (hence the glue,) but is meant for one express purpose. It is a direct challenge to everyone who has ever made or played drum and bass.

Each track spans a different style of DnB, and mimmics (mocks) a different producer. Venetian Snares goes song by song using all of the production tricks that other producers use to make their DnB tracks as badass/exciting as possible, and he does it better than they ever could. Then he proceeds to mash them to bejeezus and back. It's like he's saying "Ooh look I can make that better than you can! And now I can light it on fire and spit on your mom!"

This is a full on assult on the world of drum and bass. From the dance hall calls preformed by a female opera singer on "Dance Like You're Selling Nails" to the mock Panacea/Dj Scud stlye breakcore on "Cobra Commander" which just gets so out of control that it almost becomes too whitenoise for *ME*, (and i love noise,) he covers every every style of DnB that's worth a listen. He even *almost* one ups Squarepusher on his Go Plastic styled track "Deadman DJ." Finally Mr. Funk ends it up with three incredible tracks of his own creepy theatrically alligned style.

Incredible.
This man is an absolute monster in the world of contemporary music.
If you like DnB enough to know it has gone stagnant, or if you're just sick of the other Junglists being snobs, then this album is worth checking out.

If I bought this cd as a token indie-braindance-IDM cd then I would give this 5 stars. As far as messed up programming, creepy samples and general lack of meter, this cd has it all... As far as listenability tho...
I of course love V.snares just because of the frenetic programming and odd meters - 7/4 jungle beats and like 14 measure phrases (in 4/4) and what not really challenge my mind which by now is quite accustomed to 4/4. But after a while its just like... ok hes messing up the beat some more... hooweee... All I can really feel on this is novelty brain destruction. So after maybe 3 random songs I've gotten my "fix" of it... I can listen to the whole cd no sweat but I'm never driven to listen to it...
I will say that I LOVE the song banana seat girl, that song is near perfect. When that flute solo comes in it is so tight, but just like that whole song really seems to depart from teh whole "evil evil drum n bass raaaargrrrrr" thing and get almost a tropical feel???

Customer Reviews:

Yes Yes! V recordings coming correct!.......2002-01-19

Where to begin? Okay, 3 x 12" Records 10 cuts, here's the skinny.

-DISC ONE-

A1 - "Autumn" - Die, absolute classic nice guitar riffs and rolling bass lines. Excellent track by the man @ Full Cycle.

A2 - "Do it [Lemon D RMX]" - Ray Keith, what can I say it's a Lemon D Remix, plenty of bone crushing bass.

B1 - "Faithless" - D Product, Oh my gosh! This LP is worth getting for this track alone, dancefloor killa Wicked bassline, and super tight drums. I also don't know of this being available elswhere.

B2 - "Windrush" - Roni Size, Typical Size goodness nice little roller I like the "alright, alright, alright" sample.

-DISC TWO-

A1 - "Shrinkwrap" - Ed Rush/Optical, Typical bizness by these two guys, extra evil!

A2 - "Angles [Dillinja RMX]" - Krust, I love this little roller, complete with "you know you're in trouble, when you can't see the angles anymore" sample. OH YEAH, IT'S REMIXED BY THE ONE KNOWN AS DILLINJA!

B1 - "Vegas" - Peshay, Extra wobley basslines, and a few good analouge stabs. Strong!

B2 - "Fat Man" - Bill Riley, I don't know of this being available anywhere else. Eerie, nice two-step style with heavy bass.

-DISC THREE-

A1 - "Brand New Funk" - Adam F, Killer jazzy madness by one of the old originals, watch the break on this one!

B1 - "Warhead [RAM Trilogy RMX]" - Krust, Easily the most reckognized Jungle song of 1997 remixed by RAM Trilogy [Andy C, Ant Miles, and Shimon] in 1999, you know it, you love it.. drop it for the kiddies!

So many great tunes, in one triple pack what are you waiting for...

You're not missing anything if you don't buy this........2000-08-25

This album was a real letdown for any drum and bass fan. The only good tracks were by Adam F and Roni Size. Even the Adam F track was not as good as the work he did in his full album, "Colors". Most of the tracks on here are almost identical. This album is going to be collecting dust on my cd rack...

Something of a letdown.........2000-05-22

After reading some good reviews of this compilation from the Bristol crew...I was expecting a little more. Basically, the tracks aren't very consistent. The first disc gets off to a great start with Adam F's Brand New Funk, but then moves into some rather boring two-step and cyborg tracks (exceptions are the Ray Keith and Peshay tracks, although none of them match Brand New Funk for its sheer adrenaline factor). On the second disc, the Suv and Roni Size tracks stand out, and not much else...for more consistent compilations, check Grooverider's Prototype Years and any of the Metalheadz releases or V Classics.

Frantic HARDSTEP!.......2000-03-09

A great Drum N Bass compilation. Standout tracks are Adam F's "Brand New Funk", "Strictly Social" by Roni Size and "Anlgles" by Krust are reason enough to get a hold of this compilation. Wicked sped up breaks, great soundscapes and frantic beats that are emminently dancable fill Planet V. Also check out the new debut album of Krust.

Do it, Do it!.......2000-02-06

Ray Keith's frequency's don't mess around! Girls all over my dorm adore my music (hard-dark creative drum'n'bass)! This is a positive buy, don't miss out. Presences from the Bristol Crew and the London headz show great rhythmic diversity brought together into ONE. Buy it.

Take a pick, pick a style ... if you dare!.......2001-04-06

With this album, UDS pretty much picked up where they left off in "Life 'n Perspectives." Could "Persona non Grata" truly be considered a deviation for a band with such an undefinable style? Anyway, it's back to the unusual as usual. In general, an excellent album. A stylistic surprise at every turn. The DJ's who replaced DNA did an excellent job (though it was great to see him back with the band in the next album. He's in this album's live CD). Rudeboy was truly born ready for metaphor warfare. His vocal playfulness was great! Any negatives? Well, a couple of the songs were relatively uninteresting. This album is unlike any of their other albums in that it isn't successful as an organic whole. Viewed as a whole, it seems as artless as its album cover. But then there's that one great song, and that other great song, and that other great song .... Most of the individual songs are really great. The parts may not all add up, but individually, you can't deny they result in a great album.

Get it before its gone.......2000-02-05

Planet Ultra is a wicked mix of styles and sounds. The CD booklet art is worth the cost alone. UDS can play any style and make it sound fresh. Also, the bonus live disc is a classic!

I just heard UDS broke up, so get your copy NOW.

kickin it groovy style.......1998-11-10

if you are a fan of UDS already, this will not dissapoint! its a little more stripped down than the previous but still has that kickin groove. its worth the extra import price.
