Aaron Funk, the man behind Venetian Snares, has dozens upon dozens of releases, but his 2006 run (Hospitality and Cavalcade of Glee and Dadaist Happy Hardcore Pom Poms, minus 4 Adaptions of Rossz) is my favorite because of its emphasis on melody as well as those elusive rhythms that most drum and bass artists are known for. These two albums are the aural representations of floating on digital air while being attacked by someone's idea of what vultures from Tron would look like. They're intense, with moments of the most serene calm juxtaposed inbetween, or, uh, vice versa.
Note: I found some higher-res album art for Hospitality (the picture in this post) after uploading the album, so if you're compulsive, just click here to grab this one.
