Ofcourse they've heard afx and Ae, but I honestly think there sound is a
fairly distinct original sound, would you not agree?
Remember they were one of the first of the second wave post Ae sound.
As far as them listening to hiphop etc..
You'll have to believe it, cause it's true. I'm friends with someone whose spent
time with them and they really just listen to American rap/hiphop and
artists from their lable. There actually huge Wu-Tang fans.
But I don't think you should call them a rap group or compare them to others.
Finally, I've yet to hear any of the tracks your referring to but by your
description they sound awesome. Personally I'd like to hear Funkstorung
destroy an mc, that sounds fresshhh.
I for one am happy they have an 'Appetite For Disctruction'
singed,
olson
ps- "MCs may as well not even be there, their flows are so destroyed by the
music in the tracks"
You realize, this is intentional.

i don't believe that for a second.
i'm taking a wild stab in the dark here, but i think they listen to autechre
and afx.

yes, but when you have a hip-hop MC rap over some beats that
are clearly going for a hip-hop sound.. i think you're doing hip hop,
or some neoelectrofunk take on it. and i'm saying in the case of the
2 tracks on the new funkstorung, it just plain doesnt work. the MCs
may as well not even be there, their flows are so destroyed by the
music in the tracks.
