Find Candace is a 2003 breakcore EP by Venetian Snares. The EP was considered a continuation of his previously released album Doll Doll Doll, from which both the original "Befriend A Childkiller" and "Dolleater" were taken.
The heavily altered dancehall sample used in "Befriend a Childkiller Remix" is taken from the Buju Banton track "Sensimillia Persecution", released by Penthouse Vintage in 1995 (originally over the "Swing Easy" rhythm).
"Mercy Funk" contains a sample from the Andrzej Żuławski film "Possession".
"Children's Limbo" contains samples from the Alejandro Amenábar film The Others and an ending a cappella from Crystal Lullaby by The Carpenters.
The title track contains samples from The Evil Dead.
Time signatures
"Mercy Funk" has probably more time signature changes than any other Venetian Snares' song. Running at a high speed 180 bpm, it starts with 8 bars of 11/4 then switches to alternating bars of 5/4 and 13/8 (or 23/8 together) until 2'32". It then holds 5/4 until 3'50", where a single 7/4 bar is followed by 7 bars of the 23/8 plus one 19/8 bar. At 4'23" there follows a sequence of 16 bars of 13/8, 8 bars of 7/4, a cycle of 3 bars of 7/4 and a bar of 15/8 (or 57/8 together), repeated twice, then 7/4 until the end.
"Yor" and "Bind Candace" have no clear time signature due to their predominantly ambient nature. The remaining tracks are in 7/4, although the end section of the title track is in 7/8.
