the funckarma track on Neurokinetic is fairly indicative of the rest of
their stuff, although most of their output is darker and incorporates more
of the crunchy beats/minor chords aesthetic. Check out "Solid State" or
"Parts" as you'll probably enjoy either one of them.
I highly recommend the first "Cottage Industries" compilation, much more so
than the 2CD successor which is also decent, but CI is worth it for the
opening track by Phonem alone, and then other great tracks from Plod, Bauri,
Quinoline Yellow...
Other good compilations I would recommend checking out, based on your likes:
v/a "Cashier Escape Route" (City Center Offices) includes exclusive tracks
from ISAN, Pole, Phonem, Arovane, Goodiepal, Opiate, Geiom, Solvent,
Styrofoam, etc
v/a "EVSC1:01" (Expanding) label sampler including Benge, Abfahrt Hinwil,
Zorn, etc.
v/a "Putting the Morr Back In Morrissey" (Morr) Christian Kleine, Phonem,
Styrofoam, Lali Puna, Solvent, etc.
If you enjoy Funckarma-styled stuff I recommend the comps put out by their
label... someone has already mentioned "Men With Boxes" and I also recommend
"Nummer Een" and "Nummer Drei" which preceded it.
On the crazier, less melodic side I recommend the compilations released by
Schematic, especially "Ischemic Folks" (Richard Devine, Jeswa, Phoenecia,
Metic, etc) and "Lily of the Valley" (Richard Devine, Phoenecia, Jake
Mandell, o9, Delarosa & Asora etc).
and lastly on the more jazz-inflected side the Hefty 12" compilation (a 2CD
set of all their prior 12" releases) "Immediate Action" is solid through and
through, tracks from Telefon Tel Aviv, A Grape Dope, Twine, Savath +
Savalas, T.Raumschmiere, Process, etc.
