There's one EP I know of apart from the FunkEntstort you mentioned. It's called "Musik aus Strom EP 1.08" - cat.nr. MZM4307 on white vinyl. I think it came out about a year ago. GreetZ, Delete.

I'd say they're on a par. All this Autechre vs Everyone Else Making Music bullshit can only go so far. Sure, Autechre are a talented couple of guys who've released some excellent stuff, but there's too many people in this group with their head too far up Autechre's arse to even consider anything else worthy of a spin on the decks.

What about their remix of Bjork's 'All Is Full of Love'? Or the Aemic 'Aleph' 12-inch? (Okay, so it's Fakesch and Estermann, but it's close enough.) Having said that, I've always preferred Fakesch's solo efforts to his stuff with Funkstorung. I stand by my assertion though that Funkstorung *do* sound like Autechre -- for good and bad. /\/)ark http://www.sonance.demon.co.uk/

Funkstorung sound like Ae inasmuch as they were inspired by them. However, Funkstorung was doubtlessly influenced by a number of people, and it shows. I think Ae and Funkstorung complement each other well, rather than Funkstorung being a mediocre send-off of Ae's work. On days when I grow tired of Ae's mind-bogglingly complex rhythms and often-soulless mechanical feel, I put on Funkstorung (or other MAS acts), and am quite relieved.

yeah yeah yeah autechre is great. everything else(markant, MaS, etc) is just a cheap imitation. rinse and repeat, ad nauseum. that said, i really LIKE a lot of the funkstorung stuff, especially the tracks where it's NOT obvious that they admittedly worship sean & rob. breakart and sondernieste are soso, but the rest is pretty good listnin' , IMHO. and i personally think that the AEMic EP is a lovely record with 2 brilliant, brilliant tracks that don't really sound too much like Ae at all, but combine beautiful childlike melodies with wicked backstabbing percussion.

I didn't like the Freeform, Funkstorung 1.08, and the i think it was the last two releases....I forget the names. I probably like about half of their material. I picked up the Bannlust - Digital Tension CD last night. I thought that had some interesting moments on it. There were 2 tracks I believe that ventured out towards Drum n bass, it kind of reminded me of Jega a little. I also heard the single with the I-F remix it all sounded pretty good. np - Dj Kicks Claude Young _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

dont know if this went through with my other mail account, sorry if this is the second posting. for any super anal funkstorung spotters not cool enough to have one of those 2x12 remix things sent to you, hardwax in berlin may have a few left. there are 2(i think) mixes on this that will not be released. (according to m. fakesch) mail@hardwax.com be prepared- the shipping to the states is more than the actual records. cl

Am I the only one who has a copy of this new Funkstorung track/mix (?) as I've heard no one mention it and its never appeared on any of the discographies and I've had it a couple of months now. I've also not been able to find any info about it anywhere. Its a 10" with a rubber stamped cover bearing the words "FUNKSTORUNG PRESENT C'EST LA VIE PROMO" - a single sided white label with cat no XPR3371A. Typically Fs with some Opra Haza-ish backing vocals I also came across a similar 2x12" at the weekend cat no XPR3372 where Funkstorung is replaced by Hybrid and Futureshock which isn't of the same calibre - sort of Paul van Dykey "sorted white label" type stuff.

It was played on "P3 dans" (Swedish radio :-) some weeks ago, and it's really cool. It's a remix of a Jarre-song, but it's really deformed... in a nice way! /Svante [Budgie...

This is a Funkstorung remix of the new Jean Michel Jarre single. The Funkstorung remix was pre-released on a 10". The 2x12" pack you found is what will be released when the single comes out, if its not out this week already. I saw a copy of the 10" in Camden Music and Video exchange at the weekend, if anyone wants one... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

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. -rk --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

i will. i love funkstorung... especially m. fakesch's solo work, but i wouldn't say it has much range. that 'one sound' they stick with is nice, but it sort of keeps it from staying on my decks.

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. -=nihl=- -=nihl=- -=nihl=- arthurcravan50@hotmail.com -=nihl=- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
