altoghether sort of gypsy punk going on here. venetian snares is best (un)known for his frantic drum'n'bass or drill'n'bass or whatyoucallit. well, in short venetian snares have been trying hard to make music that you can barely listen to - not because it is bad but because it is a bit mindnumbing. the music has always been more interesting than enjoyable. his latest album, Rossz Csillag Allat Szuletett, changes all that. though it has it shares of frantic beats it combines it with more traditional instruments - all sort of gypsy sounding. in places the album recalls portishead, in others aphex twin's flirtations with classical music. it also reminds me a bit of amon tobin's live set (last summer) which incorporated some fantastic violin samples. venetian snares weaves the electronic and accoustic sounds together with the same skill that amon tobin does. normally i turn away from a venetian snare's cd waiting for my headache to subside, this time i am waiting to hear what he does next.
