Question: If you were to recommend *one* album or EP to someone to get them hooked on funkstorung, what would it be, and (briefly) why? I want to check out their stuff, but have no idea where to start. Thanks! -Ma'er...

"additional productions" its a good number of their remixes thay have done, and those are far far far FAR better than the original tracks they have produced (IMO). chris.

The CDR with their remixes for Bjork, 'cause there you got everything: - one of their best remixes w/ pop appeal (Bjorks voice) - one more remix that sounds more like 'common' FUnkstoerung - a 'real' F'ng track as bonus and: It should be aviable almost everywhere Bye Sebastian -- Sebastian Herrfurth (seher@cs.tu-berlin.de) pages for Bernd Friedmann / Riz Maslen / Daniel Myer / Pole / Jazzanova/SK at http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~seher/music.html

Well, the album 'Additional Productions' is a good place to start and it should be relatively easy to track down. It contains various remixes they've done of various artists over the past year or two. Other than that, try to get hold of a copy of their Funkenstort EP, which is one of my favourites. -- Mark Stevens http://www.sonance.demon.co.uk/

I'll second this one. Possibly their best work, but they have made a ton of great trax, an example of which would be "That Shit" from the Bjork remix 12". Possibly may favorite single funk track. -andrew * Productions at Large * Grand Rapids, MI * Email: asmith89@calvin.edu * ICQ#: 41084135

Try also "Sonderdienste" EP, specifically "Mobilfunk." Completely kaleidoscopic and sublime (also on Compost). laz dr smith wrote:
