Venetian Snares - 23-May-07 10:30 AM
I fell in love with this guys stuff over the past year (Id heard him before, but never gotten into him, ya know?), and I just havent been able to turn around if I just want some of the best damn programming on the planet. The number of tracks he mixes together in each song, and the subtle variations hell make from measure to measure are just amazing, let alone his manipulation of time signatures. From the subtle abrasions of albums like "Huge Chrome Cylinder Box Unfolding;" to the brutality of releases such as "Making Orange Things," "Doll Doll Doll," and "Greg Hates Car Culture;" to the ethereal beauty of the orchestrations on "Rossz Csillag Alatt Született;" and into the playful absurdity of albums like "The Chocolate Wheelchair Album" and "Songs about My Cats," Aaron Funks style is able to span a gamut while maintaining basic thematic elements linking his works as distinctively his own.

And if people have a hard time believing the amount of time he puts into everything he releases just because of the insane pace at which he releases material, one should but remember the Beatles, who are well documented as to how much work they put into every album, and how often they released these albums.
