..a bad review in the Boomkat Newsletter, that must be a first. mostly Boomkat reviews are pretty mild, seeing as they're a shop 'n all and have to sell the stuff - but this one BURNS like acid! I have no idea what this album sounds like myself, although I've always felt Funkstorung to be pretty derivative. "FUNKSTORUNG "Disconnected" Incredibly messy new album from Michael Fackesch and Chris De Luca, making that `difficult' transition to more adult-orientated acoustic electronica. It's a sanitised, sterile version of what fat studio executives imagine leftfield music must sound like. Vocal contributions come from Lamb's Louise Rhodes, Tes and some newcommers who give it their best shot, but the over-production and lack of new ideas is somehow hugely irritating and present throughout each of the 14 tracks on offer. The album veers from re-configuerd digi-hiphopisms, to "mature" and endlessly pretentious downtempo studio pieces giving it the acoustic treatment with all the raw emotion and integrity you could expect from someone like Seal or the aforementioned Finley Quaye. The cd comes with a glossy postcard for each of the tracks on board, shame that the extravagence didn't stretch to accommodate some new ideas or a desire to take music further out and into new terrain. "Disconnected" is the perfect album to grow old to, thrusting you into middle age with the safety of dull, famililiar surroundings while giving you the feeling that you're still somehow in the know. Excellent artwork though." zingg! |

Looks to me they were being emotional. They had to finish it with goodness about the artwork though...not completely negative. |

there was never bad review for something so new...maybe some re-release...but i must admit that i read boomkat for 14 months.....but i read it carefully....that's really strange, i think that someone there really hates them....so much that maybe they don't care if they don't sell it at all....i know it can be done, cause i worked in similar cdr recordshop...and if the job goes well, if you hate something....you''d be happy to tell some cutomers that some (wanted) release is shit... |

what can i do other than echo the sentiments above? it's kind of nice to see an album get burned like that on there for once... maybe they'll make a habit of being a little more honest so i can take them seriously when they gush over something |

I think I remember them saying the new Air was boring or something. Other than that they think every release is amazing. |
