- Another Aaron Funk joint - This time a welcome return to some of less mentalist than usual breakbeat work and delicious melodies last found in the best-selling 'Rossz Csillag Alatt Szuletett' album.
- Planet Mu is an English electronic music record label run by Mike Paradinas (also known as µ-Ziq).
- Combining delicious symphonic strings and ambient soundscapes, Rossz Csillag Alatt Szuletett is perhaps one of Aaron Funk’s finest pieces of work. Inspired by a journey to Hungary, the album is an earnest reimagining of the melancholic side to Hungarian culture, ‘Ongyilkos vasarnap’ being a cover of a Hungarian suicide song.
(06.01.05) Rossz Csillag Alatt Született is the closest Aaron Funk has ever come to being Unplugged. While on vacation in Hungary, Funk experienced a moment of avian displacement and vanished into a metaphysical consideration of life as a pigeon. I don’t know if this moment was the impetus for Rossz Csillag Alatt Született or it it was the wealth of local ethnic music poured into his head, but the resulting record is a orchestral collision between Funk’s well known drill ‘n’ bass and a panopoly of decaying folk motifs.

“Öngyilkos Vasárnap,” based on a funereal love song by Hungarian composer Reszo Seress, lifts the haunted despair from Billie Holliday’s version of the song, drapes a possessed violin across Holliday’s exhausted voice like a burial shroud, and sends both out to troll for coins in a cart pulled by a one-legged beggar. “Felbomlasztott Mentökocsi,” a brooding piece of groaning tones and gut-plucked notes, indulges a string quartet’s penchant for melancholy with its gloomy soundtrack. In “Hajnal,” Funk drops a clusterbomb of beats in the middle of the orchestra pit but it’s a surgical strike that takes out the brass section as if it were custom-ordered by the strings. The brass section, resurrected by some foul Transylvanian mysticism, provide stabs and flourishes during “Szamár Madár” like they were some channeling Wagner while a cellist bravely attempts a heartfelt solo before getting steamrolled by Funk’s percussion and a string section in game pursuit of a runaway soprano.
Rossz Csillag Alatt Született is Funk’s most assured release. Even as a track like “Kétsarkú Mozgalom” veers into John Zorn’s Naked City territory, we never lose hold of the thread which Funk has used to sew modern breakcore to the back of an Eastern European gypsy minstrel. Highly recommended. Especially for a track like “Szerencsétlen” where you can fool your classical music loving friends with your daring appreciation for a 21st century approach to the cacophony of Stravinsky’s Rites of Spring. That is, until the breakbeats bust down the doors of the recital hall and take the conductor hostage; then, it’s every instrument for themselves.

Rossz Csillag Alatt Született (Hungarian: [ˈross ˈt͡ʃillɒɡ ˈɒlɒtt ˈsylɛtɛtt]) is a 2005 album by Canadian electronic music producer Venetian Snares, released on the Planet Mu label. Inspired by a visit to Hungary, the album title and all of the track names are in Hungarian; Rossz Csillag Alatt Született translates to 'Born Under the Wrong Star ',[4] a Hungarian expression which means 'cursed from birth'. The album consists of classical strings and brass combined with breakbeats.
Overview[edit]
The concept of the album came when Aaron Funk imagined himself as a pigeon on Budapest's Királyi Palota (Royal Palace).[5] Its third track, 'Öngyilkos Vasárnap' is a cover of the song 'Szomorú Vasárnap' ('Gloomy Sunday') by Hungarian composer Rezső Seress, which has been referred to as the Hungarian suicide song. According to urban legend, Seress's song has inspired the suicide of multiple people, including his fiancée. The song was reportedly banned in Hungary.[2] It has also been covered by many artists. Billie Holiday's vocals are sampled in this track.[4]
The album also samples various pieces of classical music:
- The first movement of Béla Bartók's fourth string quartet, in track two.
- The second of Igor Stravinsky's '3 Pieces for Clarinet', in track five.
- The first movement of Gustav Mahler's 3rd Symphony (trombone solo), in track five.
- Measures 121-128 (14), 134 (15) and 144 (16) of Bartók's first string quartet (third movement), in track five.
- Niccolò Paganini's 7th Caprice in A minor, in track five.
- The beginning of the solo part of Franz Waxman's Carmen Fantasie in track five.
- The first and third measure of the fourth movement of Bartók's sixth string quartet, in track six.
- Sir Edward Elgar's 'Cello Concerto in E Minor, Op. 85', in track eight.
- The second movement of Sergei Prokofiev's Quintet in G Minor in track eight.
- The Siciliana of Fantasia No. 9 from Georg Philipp Telemann's Twelve Fantasias, in track ten.
While there were no official music videos released with the album, artist David O'Reilly produced an unofficial computer generated video for Szamár Madár.[6]

AllMusic | [7] |
Pitchfork | 7.5/10[4] |
Sputnikmusic | 4.5/5[8] |
Tiny Mix Tapes | 5/5[2] |
Alan Ranta of Tiny Mix Tapes praised Rossz Csillag Alatt Született as Funk's 'most accomplished album to date' and described it as being 'of uncouth beauty that is at once sublime, timeless, cinematic, sporadic, and moving from start to finish.'[2]Sputnikmusic writer Nick Greer hailed it as an 'absolutely amazing' release that 'truly excels in how it shifts paradigms in unexpected ways'.[8] William Tilland of AllMusic called the album 'typically uncompromising and unsettling, although it is certainly constructed with great technical skill and maintains an abrasive beauty throughout.'[7] Cameron MacDonald of Pitchfork was more reserved in his praise and felt that 'Funk's percussive palate could have ventured beyond the standard-issued 'Amen' breakbeats', while concluding that 'Rossz's totality still possesses nerves that can cast shadows that never dissipate away from the mind.'[4]
Tiny Mix Tapes ranked Rossz Csillag Alatt Született the 25th best album of 2005 and the 31st best album of the 2000s.[9][10] In 2014, Resident Advisor critic Hugh Taylor described it as 'one of breakcore's most important albums'.[1] In 2017, Pitchfork placed it at number 25 on its list of 'The 50 Best IDM Albums of All Time'.[3]
