NOT to "correct", per se, just to (possibly?) clarify:
(and to also continue a *wonderful* thread in my opinion)
the interview (i.e. micheal fakesh) claims that funkstorung
originally wanted to release a "Christmas greetings record"
but that this idea developed/mutated into a "double EP"
concept with TWO different funkstroung records coming out
simultaneously on Skam and Musik aus Strom (to show how
"closely the labels are related") now, this interview
was a while ago and it made NO MENTION of the current
"demon" ep's by michael fakesh. but i have a feeling
that the "simultaneous double release WITH Skam" deal was
nixed due to fact that the Skam "schedule" still has a
BoC album, a Freeform 12" and Push Button Objects
releases still on the docket. then again, a Skam
"schedule" seems to mean very little these days!
in short, in COMPLETE AGREEMENT with Chris, this double
release sounds like the DEMON ep's, complete with JEGA
and BoC (yep, Skamsters through and through) remixes.
it's ironic, because the interview mentions that this DOUBLE
release was going to take place after a FREEFORM ep on M.a.S.
when in reality, the release (the "demon" ep's) will be taking
place after a Freeform ep on Worm Interface. strange...

NOW, all this may sound confusing. maybe not. but why haven't i
mentioned V/Vm in all this meandering? afterall, it's supposedly
THEIR Christmas release, right? (Aye!)
well, i know that the VVMT003 12" is CLOSE to being
ready for public consumption, so i would gather that
it will see the light of day before december.
so, that's "out of the question" methinks.
ANYONE ELSE have any ideas on this?
don't say Mask 03 either!
(that's soon, right?)

like the rest of you, i hate the LIMITED
aspects of this music - both in quantity
pressed and the AMOUNT of information
we ACTUALLY know about these labels.
we all want MORE of it. true?
(greedy bastards aren't we?)
YET, at the same time, maybe for some
bizarre and twisted reason, i love the
MYSTERY behind it all (espcially the
mask series - stu@mfr can attest to this).
it think it's just fucking amazing how
these tiny labels can have the idm world
by the balls and have their way....leaving
us to merely sit by our turntables saying
"HOLY SHIT, this unfathomable!"
(well, you can add your own adjective)
