Venetian Snares - Find Candace CD
Venetian Snares' Aaron Funk returns to complete the horror and
destruction initiated in ''Doll Doll Doll'' with the new album ''Find
Candace''.This is the second and final installment in the so-called ''doll
sequence,'' through which Mr. Funk obliterates the lines between jungle,
d&b, gabber, breakcore, and post-industrial. ''Find Candace'' revels in
microscopic beat sequencing, elevating it to an art form that's worlds apart
from his contemporaries. Maelstrom is ever-present, starting with the break
madness of a remixed ''Befriend a child killer'' from doll doll doll, here
contorted through searing synth tones and electrolyzed vocal commands. Aaron
Funk understands the importance of balancing the maelstrom through tense,
textured atmospherics - putting them to use in the opening minutes of
''Mercy Funk,'' a pensive snap-step hash that crescendos into a breakcore
mantra. The title track, however, brings this balance under the scrutiny of
an atomic-force microscope, uncovering a multitude of chaotic punching
beats, bolt-action bass, and static sound fury. Again the album comes with
unique Cover pictures by Trevor Brown. Released 27th February 2003. Ant Zen.
