I did a search and couldn't believe there was no thread yet.

Alright, so new VSnares, Detrimentalist, is great. We've all established that it's a throwback to his older dnb... and yet it still sounds fresh.

Anyways, not only would I liek to hear some opinions on the new album, but what is your favorite release by Venetian Snares? I'd say my favorite release would be A Giant Alien Force More Violent & Sick Than Anything You Can Imagine. It may only be one 15 minute track, but everything about the track blows me away (I'm trying to explain why, I put on the track, and it's too overwhelming to actually explain).

My Top 5 Vsnares Releases:
5. Winter in the Belly of a Snake (2002)
4. Moonglow / This Bitter Earth (2004)
3. The Chocolate Wheelchair Album (2003)
2. Doll Doll Doll (2001)
1. Rossz csillag alatt született (2005)

I fncking love that album!

"Dollmaker" is still my alltime fave track of his. The jazzy intro breaking down into visious rap infused jungle and a hip-hop outro to the answering maching from the Jon Benet Ramsey help line? Insanity.

Agreed.

"I Rent the Ocean" and "Dollmaker" make a really nice back-to-backer, me thinks.

I guess I have to be cliche and agree that Rossz... is the best. Simply mindblowing, try listening to it on acid.

Any love for Songs About My Cats?

Detrimentalist might be the best since Rossz, which is definitely his best.

I haven't responded back because I'm still trying to come up with my list of favorites (Doll Doll Doll, the single track release A Giant Alien Force More Violent & Sick Than Anything You Can Imagine, Cavalcade of Glee and Dadaist Happy Hardcore Pom Poms, Find Candace (which is one of the most disturbing albums I've heard)... are what I've come up with off the top of my head).

I will say that while it's the most known, Rossz Csillag... is not in my top 5 of his releases (although it would be top 10).

Hilarious. I love it. He samples the Meow Mix song.

I once listened to Doll Doll Doll on shrooms. That was an eye opener.

Is it just me, or does VSnares make some of the creepiest shit ever? It either sounds like an alien invasion or a creepy circus or the soundtrack to a futuristic murderer, etc.

I have wet dreams about Aaron Funk doing the soundtrack to some disturbing and incomprehensible Slavic horror movie. It would be in black and white, I think, and there would be no dialog, or at least no subtitles.

Oh god. I'm trying to think of a director but Czech New Wave directors probably wouldn't work... that seriously needs to happen.

I'm surprised he hasn't done any soundtrack work yet. Was anyone else disappointed to find out that My Downfall (Original Soundtrack) wasn't really one?
