I was listening to Funkstorung's Additional Productions yesterday and it suddenly hit me: How did that happen? It just seems like such a strange combination. Nerdy German techno guys and the Wu Tang Clan. Does anyone know what led to this meeting of the minds? Are Funkstorung big Wu Tang fans? Is RZA a Funkstorung fan? Or was it strictly a business arrangement by the record company guys? German techno guys seem to have a weird attraction to Wu Tang. Alec Empire sampled the first Wu Tang album like a mofo on his "No Safety Pin Sex" and "Funk Riot Beat" EPs on DHR.
