Highlights for me are Dance... and We Are Oceans, which are respectively probably his most upbeat and beautiful works so far. The best marriage of classical and breakcore yet, excepting perhaps Squarepusher's Tundra 4. (Without meaning sound like a pretentious prick.)

This release is an absolute masterpice of electronic music. It has harsh amened out beats in odd time signatures that Snares is renowned for, but with a more IDM feel than previous releases in my opinion. There is even a pair of downtempo tracks which showcase an entirely different side of Aaron Funk. The record is a testament to VSnares' production prowess, his stunning originality, and his ability to incorporate a vast array of styles and genres into one cohesive whole. A classic that will make it into the history books for sure.

This is really where Aaron Funk has begun making real breakcore music. "Dance Like You're Selling Nails" and "Banana Seat Girl" both include a genius mix of breakcore and instrumental, such as hornet, funk guitar and flute. Excluding his insane breakcore style, Venetian Snares composed one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard: "Dismantling Five Years". This track really proves how Venetian Snares has a melodic personality within him. I'm about to tear each time I listen to "Dismantling Five Years", I admit. I really like that album, just like "Meathole", "Rossz Csillag Alatt Született" and "Cavalcade of Glee and Dadaist Happy Hardcore Pom Poms". But there is a con about this album: some of the tracks are exagerately improvised. They remain great, but Aaron Funk could have made them better structured. It is a must-have album for Venetian Snares fans, such as me! Long life to the greatest canadian artist ever!
