├─────────────────────── ───────────────────----─────────────────────────┤
│ Munich's Funkstorung have been described as the German Autechre, a │
│ description which probably has less to do with their sound than the │
│ interest the group has attracted to their Musik Aus Strom label. │
│ Similar to Autechre's Skam label, Musik Aus Strom (German, roughly, │
│ for "synthesizer music") has become one of the more collectible, │
│ obsessed-over underground electronica labels, coveted as much for the │
│ Skam-esque enigma about them as the increasing exchange between the │
│ two labels' rosters (a connection the two sealed in 1997 with the │
│ release of the limited edition Mask series, a collaboration between │
│ the labels and their respective artists). │
│ │
│ Composed of Michael Fakesch and Chris De Luca (both barely into their │
│ 20s), Funkstorung's more recent excursions into dark, muddy, lo-fi │
│ electro and instrumental hip-hop were preceded by a number of │
│ relatively straight-ahead techno records on Bunker sublabel Acid │
│ Planet beginning in 1994. The duo were contacted soon after by none │
│ other than Aphex Twin's Rephlex label about releasing some material, │
│ but stalled plans and unanswered phone calls led the pair to forego │
│ the label-shopping route early on, and most of their most significant │
│ material to date (with the exception of a few compilation tracks and a │
│ single for Compost) has appeared through MAS. Although the Bunker │
│ singles far outnumber their later self-released material, MAS twelves │
│ such as "Zeit," "Breakart," and "Artificial Garbage" compose the │
│ group's more sophisticated, mature sound. │
│ │
│ The hotly pursued Mask series has also done much for the group's │
│ visibility; limited to between 100 and 500 copies per release (in │
│ successively increasing quantities), Mask releases to date have │
│ included tracks from Funkstorung and Skam's Jega, Bola, and Boards of │
│ Canada. In 1999, Studio !K7 released the remix collection Additional │
│ Productions, and Funkstorung returned one year later with their │
│ full-length debut, Appetite for Disctruction. │

│ About ALW │
├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ ALW is an internal group whose original intention was to make people │
│ see how much better the quality of a VBR album really was. Well, we │
│ pretty much succeeded, considering the scene is VBR now. So, we now │
│ have a new focus (since even pH has bitten the bullet, thank god): to │
│ be the best damn internal group there is. Whatever the album is, no │
│ matter what the genre (unless it's gay, we don't like gay), we will │
│ have ripped it. And to all you fags who wouldn't use VBR to save your │
│ life prior to 2004, we just wanted to say that we told you you were a │
│ stupid cocksucking bitch and that you were wrong, and now we want to │
│ rub it in, just because we can. │
│ │
│ Date of formation: 5/1/2003 (or, 10/2001 under TBR) │
│ Things we need: Nothing, bitches. We rule without you! │
