Well, Demsongzbywe/Refurbished 1 are remixes, and some of them are
also pretty old. I think the thing is that it's just been a really
long time since Funckarma did a full-length of new stuff (aside from
the Shadow Huntaz stuff, which I haven't really been into at all). I
mean, dang, Solid State came out in 2001!
I really liked the 12" they did for Skam this year, and I LOVED the
Cane 12" on Arcola (still need to track down their previous 12"s under
that name on Colony). And I have no problems with (over?)use of the
303.
So yeah, a nice brand new album of new track by Funckarma would be
pretty awesome.
Later,
Alan
