    Venetian Snares - Winter In The Belly Of A Snake

    This, Aaron Funk's third album, is avant-garde freakery that even Bjork would raise an eyebrow at. It's the sonic musings of a disturbed mind that you get here with harsh, squeaky, screeching atmospherics often stretched over traditional strings and mellifluous piano sections. Lead track "dad" is breakcore mayhem featuring vocals from Aaron himself while the staccato bleeps on "Suffocate" are stiflingly claustrophobic. If 70s cult movie Taxi Driver was re-made for a

    For anyone new to calculated beat nihilism of the highest degree, perhaps the man born Aaron Funk (honestly! – amazing name!) is not the best place to start.

    Venetian Snares - Winter In The Belly Of A Snake

    Because of his rapid pace in releasing albums, Venetian Snares is one of those artists that I got behind the curve on and simply decided to put off. Since the year 2000, the man known as Aaron Funk has released at least 6 full-length albums, as well as numerous singles and 7" discs. He's collaborated with Cex and Speedranch and others, and in the truly prolific year of 2002 dropped 3 full-length discs. After finally succumbing to all the spilled ink, I decided to
