Legolover9 Anger is the name of the game with this album, and I absolutely love it. Favorite track: Fuck A Stranger In The Ass.

NORMALTABLE uh oh!
she's gonna have her period again! Favorite track: Boiled Angel.

Jordan Vauvert Si la scène breakcore/IDM britannique, avec Squarepusher ou Aphex Twin, c'était la piste de danse (je pense à la chorégraphie de "Windowlicker"), alors on peut comparer le breakcore du canadien Venetian Snares à un mosh pit. Greg Hates Car Culture, avec ses breaks irréguliers ("Personal Discourse"), transmet une énergie chaotique très hardcore : "Boiled Angel" et "Milk", par exemple, ne me donnent pas envie de danser mais de me défoncer les cervicales comme quand j'écoute Aborted ou Benighted. Favorite track: Milk.

about

Greg Hates Car Culture was Venetian Snares' first ever vinyl release. Long out of print, it came out in 1999, as the third release on Minneapolis label History Of The Future.

Aaron Funk's hallmarks were there from the start. His absurdist sense of humour, the razor sharp edits and his use of odd time-signatures. There is a rawness here, not often captured on later records, where you can imagine Aaron playing live in front of a room full of young breakcore fanatics. Indeed most of the tracks here were recorded live, tweaking his effects and EQ on the fly, to DAT from his Amiga.

The album opens with "Personal Discourse", recorded in 1997, which samples Aaron calling into a Dominatrix live on community cable TV, while "Fuck A Stranger In The Ass" samples from the film The Big Lebowski. The track "Aqap" has a different sound to the others having been recorded later, in 1998, on Aaron's first PC. We have also added three hitherto unreleased 1997 tracks to this reissue. Two of them "Eating America.." and "Punk Kids" appeared on Venetian Snares rare self-released 1998 cassette Spells and the long sought after "Milk" was only passed around by his friends.

Greg Hates Car Culture lets you hear the raw energy of a musician at the birth of his sound.

This album is so consistent with it's insane break beats, and so consistent with it's greatness that it's honestly hard to pick a favourite. "306 41dr" is definitely one of them because of how crazy it is, but my favourite is probably "213 213r" because it's cute melody just won me over... pretty much like the whole album, just won me over on a first listen haha Didi
