Rossz Csillag Alatt Szuletett (reissue) vinyl

Venetian Snares is nothing if not a pretty out there kinda guy. This record, his 16th at the time of its release (which in itself proves both relentless work rate and unfathomable levels of creative inspiration) was apparently catalysed by a trip to Hungary - hence all track names and the record title are in Hungarian - and a moment in time when the artist imagined himself as a pigeon in the grounds of Budapest's Royal Palace. Take from that what you will.

In terms of musical content, this is Snares, real name Aaron Funk, meeting Planet Mu head on - and if you're familiar with either the label or the artist you should know what that means. A cinematic approach to IDM, drum 'n' bass and experimental electronic music that's half dance floor, half deep concept, and all utterly masterful to say the least.
