Venetian Snares + Speedranch - Making Orange Things

There were plans to do a black vinyl repress a few years back, but the master plates were lost and apparently it would be too expensive to have them redone...much to the disappointment of every DJ everywhere (note: possible exaggeration in previous sentence). Definitely the greatest tragedy to befall the music world since the cancellation of "Back and in Attack."

This record is one of the most brutal, pulverizing noise assaults ever, and that's why I love it so much! However this isn't just straight up noise along the lines of somebody like Merzbow, and after a few listens you really come to appreciate how rhythmic it can be.

Not a weak track on here, but the stand outs for me are Fire Beats, Cheatin' with its gabber beats and Patsy Cline sample, and Unborn Baby, which features a hillarious sample of someone chanting "unborn baby" and another sample of a cheesy guitar riff from some so called classic rock song that I can't remember the name of.

I think this may well be the hardest album ever made by anyone, if listned to on a relatively low volume the beats are alot more distinguishable and you can familiarise yourself with the individual tracks but anything above a 5 on the vol control and you could be shattering windows, nice Bon jovi sample spliced in between some speedfrentikcore breaks though!

This record is one of the most brutal assaults your ears will ever suffer. A real endurance test. With headphones on at high volume I usually feel sick by the fourth or fifth track. If that's not an endorsement i don't know what is!

Patsy Cline has never sounded as good as she does on Cheatin' and I'm thrilled to see that Viva Las Vegas has been desecrated alongside a tribute to the seminal Canadian prime time drama The Beachcombers. Rumour has it that the orange vinyl is a tribute to the car made famous in ZZ Top videos, but don't quote me on that. In any case, this release features ten tracks of number crunching speedcore for the deranged created via an icq collaboration.

Truly an amazing record, on lush orange vinyl that, if eaten, would probably taste of Sunny Delight. Unborn Baby must be my fave on here, with some superb shouting from the Man Speedranch. It's sort of freestyle gabba, although I got shot down for saying that.

Go ahead, I dare you get more hardcore than this!

Bon Jovi, Patsy Cline and others are given the grindcore treatment with maximum feedback and violent beats to compliment their.. talent.

You Boards of Canada fans should stay away from this one which is for armchair headbangers only.

Noise never sounded so good.
