Ha ha :-) Common problem : I have that every time I cough my way
through "Autechre" (does that mean anything, btw?)
Funkstorung comes frm the German (should have an Umlaut on the o,
those two little dots) and roughly means something like 'interference
in transmission'. "Funk" coming from "Funken" (spark) and is used to
denote radio or wireless in general. Thus Funkstorung could loosely
mean radio interference. Sorry, but I won't try a phonetic
pronounciation guide.
Here endeth the epistle ;-)
