▄█▓▓███▌ this exclusive album. ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ Several reviews and articles: ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ 2004 looks like it will become an interesting year ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ for electronic music. Besides the return of Kenny ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ Larkin, the German duo Funkstorung are also set to ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ release a new album soon, "Disconnected". The album ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ will be released on march 29 by !K7 Records. ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ Michael Fakesch: "the most significant change on our ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ new album disconnected is that we didn't write any ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ more tracks, we wrote proper songs. compared to our ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ older records the disconnected-songs got less ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ head-oriented and the melodies, especially all the ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ vocals have been put into the 'spotlight', ...but ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ still i'd say it's all about the grooves!" ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ The new album will be followed by an extensive world ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ tour from april till october. ▐███▓▓█▄

▄█▓▓███▌ And for the first time on tour with live-band and ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ friends !!!!!! ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ To give you a short impression of the style + aim of ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ the new album ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ read following statement by Michael Fakesch: ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ "the most significant change on our new album ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ disconnected is that we didn't write any more tracks, ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ we wrote proper songs. compared to our older records ▐███▓▓█▄

▄█▓▓███▌ into the 'spotlight' ...but still i'd say it's all ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ about the grooves! as journalist i would propably say ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ our music sounds like a mixture between 21st century ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ hiphop, intelligent dance music, rock, pop and ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ soulmusic...but -thank god!- i am no journalist, so i ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ say our music is just funkstorung! ▐███▓▓█▄

▄█▓▓███▌ ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ There's not a lot you can accuse Funkstorung of. The ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ two German lads comprising the group seem to come ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ from a rather pure, maybe a little rigid, jumping-off ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ point. They obviously love American hip-hop and use ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ similar production methods, while still retaining ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ something distinctly German in their music. I can't ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ help but trace the German connection to early ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ hip-hop, then back to Funkstorung -- that is, from ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ Kraftwerk in Duesseldorf, to NYC where Afrika ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ Bambaataa freely sampled Kraftwerk, to all that later ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ became American hip-hop and its worldwide audience. ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ Somewhere in that spectrum, the music machines went ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ from producing robotic and irrevocably European ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ rhythms and melodies, to something human and very ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ American. Fast-forward 20 years and you have a duo ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ like Funkstorung -- a group whose aesthetics seem to ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ fall neatly between the organic and the inorganic. ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ They recently crossed the Atlantic to Brooklyn in ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ support of their first album in four years titled ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ Disconnected, a studio record utilizing 28 musicians ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ and vocalists, falling somewhere in the "trip hop" ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ category, with some jazz accents placed here and ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ there. The show was at the newly opened Williamsburg ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ venue Volume (by all means a great space). Opening ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ Brooklyn hip-hop act Tes started the night off to a ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ crowd of lookyloos, who seemed only capable of ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ standing and staring, even as the DJ dropped ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ populist, would-be crowd-pleasing loops of Missy ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ Elliott and the Talking Heads rhythms, the stuff that ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ will never see a proper release, probably. Despite ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ the mostly dead audience, Tes seem to be having a ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ good time doing what they do. ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ Shortly thereafter, Funkstorung were up on the low ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ stage, standing behind their PowerBooks. More people ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ filled the space as they started their set, with ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ everyone bobbing their heads. I noticed the sound was ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ good but right away I did not feel like I was at a ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ performance, but at a record listening party -- it ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ was more of a static listening experience (and this ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ is a live gig review!). I was suddenly reminded of ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ what a friend told me about a Funkstorung show in ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ Sydney, "Thirty minutes later and it sounded like ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ they were playing the same loop." Granted, they were ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ probably triggering samples in a live fashion (I ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ heard they use Ableton Live, ace software developed ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ for the live performance), but to my ears they could ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ have just as easily pushed play on a CD player and ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ walked around to talk to the audience, which, come to ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ think of it, probably would have been a more ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ interesting performance. I'm certain, of course, that ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ Funkstorung would protest my observations, and fill ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ us all in on exactly how live everything was. But ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ sorry guys, I just wasn't hearing it, especially ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ after Tes' set. ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ These observations should not veer any listeners away ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ from Funkstorung. A mildly boring night out does not ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ negate their masterful productions/remixing ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ techniques. You can list all the good things you can ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ say about Funkstorung; a great live gig is not one of ▐███▓▓█▄
▄█▓▓███▌ them, or perhaps at the bottom of the list. ▐███▓▓█▄
