Second full length album for Venetian Snares's Last Step side-project. Still walking the old-school electro path, and presenting himself under this clothes as friendler and softer than usual, Last Step's "1961" is still indeniably a Venetian Snares production. Yes, the overall sound is calmer and yes, some tracks are almost-but-not-quite straightforward, but, overall, this could very well have been released as a Venetian Snares album a few years ago (think around the "Huge Chrome..." period). Snares fans need not worry, this will send them drooling for sure.
