No, let's not. I have Quench in mind as well. In fact, I've been unable to
make a hard and fast distinction between what they do as Funckarma and what
as Quench. As pointed out here, the last *new* Quench material was in 2003,
and likewise, as observed in my original post, 2003 was the year Funckarma
last gave us quality material. (BTW, I found their Cane 12" on Arcola to be
essentially rather throwaway 303-on-boyracerautopilot acid-techno, and
their Skam Unknown Artist 12" an amusing acid-electro-breakbeat pile-up,
but neither quite the proper Funcken thing).
