Most Artistic/Progressive/Experimental Albums You Own

[Seanindarkness]

Venetian Snare's 'Nymphomatriarch' was composed from samples of Aaron having vaginal, anal and oral sex with his girlfriend of the time (Hecate, who the record was made with) and also the sounds of arse spanking.

Pretty darn cool album too.

I'd love to hear how Funk managed to get his girlfriend to agree to let him record them having sex.

"So honey, I'm making a new album and...."

Well judging from how nuts Aaron seems to be.. Wouldn't be surprised if it was fairly easy.. Or even if Hecate came up with the idea herself.
