Album Description
2008 album of disgusting ejacutronic rave horn from Aaron Funk, a return to the energetic early days of Jungle. Detrimentalist is really a roots record, revisiting Jungle when it was more about energy and experimentation than a strict formula. The days before they took out all the good bits between the kicks and the snares! With more and more snares between the snares from Snares, Detrimentalist is Jungle at its most invigorating! Aaron is not watering it down this time: these beats shoot thick and sticky! Bass that makes your colon drop like you grew a new nut out your ass! Over 20 people were harmed in the creation of this record! Planet Mu.

Customer Reviews

Modern jungle. Amen Break Core.
I am not familiar with Snares however I stumbled across this record looking for some modern jungle and Amen break based music, and that is exactly what I found. If you dig Plug's 'Plug EP's 1, 2 & 3', Aphex Twin's Drukqs, Soundmurderer and some of Squarepusher's more frantic works you will definitely 'get' Detrimentalist. By 'get', I mean Detrimentalist is not an easy listen at first, but the more I listen to it the more I get it. The track Gentleman reminds me stylisticly of Plug's track 'Here It Comes'. Koonut-Kaliffee is the most 'accessible' track in my opinion. Bebikukorica Nigiri sounds like jungle on top of a Nintendo video game sound track. Very strange. Overall worthy of several listens. Great programming.

Breakcore-Jungle at its best
I'm sure someone will write a better review on this but I had to be the first since I can't believe no one else has. Alot of the songs on this album are amazing, namely tracks 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Like nothing i've ever heard before, besides other Snares stuff. Sure I hear familiar sounds and beats from other Snares stuff on this one, but this album as a whole is more my style than several of his latest albums (classical kinda stuff, you know). The important thing, I think, is that I don't hear any other artist's (except maybe Aphex Twin) or genre's formula on this record. Largely in its own vein, as Snares mostly is, it is the best new record i've heard in a long time.
If you're not familiar with Snares, this is an accessible place to start I would think, although my mind may be warped from listening to so much of it. For those on the fence about Snares, its like the Snares album Dollmaker, but a little less dark, more low-fi sci-fi sounds, and even more stuff to keep you on your toes. Plenty of D&B but nothing like you've heard unless you've listened to Snares before.

GET THIS if you are sick of the same old drum-n-bass/jungle and want something with a little more going on, or if you're already a Snares or Aphex Twin fan, or if you just want to hear something like you've never heard before.

And for those of you who have never heard of Venetian Snares or Aphex Twin ( I don't know why you're looking at this), this album sounds like Nintendo soundtracks over complicated drum tracks with heavy (and light) bass, along with a dozen other tracks going on simultaneously. If that sounds like noise to you, then this album is not for you, but trust me, its more melodic than it sounds in print. My girlfriend won't listen to it because she says she's not a "druggie". Well I would have to say you almost have to have done drugs at some point, or have some screws loose, to get the most out of this music. But it would be enjoyable otherwise I would imagine.

killah
This album is super dope. A lot more fun than the recent classical stuff, this is some phat jungle styles. This hasn't left rotation since I got it actually and it's only getting better with each play. Recommended.
