FUNKSTRUNG are celebrating their tenth anniversary and they're commemorating their decade of existence with music, as is befitting of their cultural standing.
In line with the cover artwork, this mindexpanding birthday cake is called Funkstrung Presents The Return To The Acid Planet, which is being served in 12 slices on nostalgic double vinyl. There will b e no CD format release for this title.
On The Return To The Acid Planet, Funkstrung ponder their own beginnings.
In 1995, UNIT MOEBIUS , the Dutch industrial techno veterans, released the first records by the boys from Rosenheim on their label BUNKER RECORDS and, most notably, on its evil twin, ACID PLANET. A total of 53 tracks on 6 miniLPs were produced during this phase. When cleaning up their studio, Funkstrung rediscovered used tapes and old vinyl containing the music of that time
and they couldn't resist listening to them, just for fun of it.
On The Return To The Acid Planet, it's those distinctive fuzzy sounds of the 303 and 808 that set the tone for sure. In contrast to ten years ago, the tracks weren't produced on the original equipment. Instead, they used reverseengineered reproductions made by the technical experts among their circle of friends.
Admittedly, Funkstrung haven't even tried to remain true to the originals. But they have remained true to themselves, by incorporating into them the experiences they have gained from 10 years in electronic music production.
