Background

In 1999, Funkstörung received international critical praise with Additional Productions, which included remixes for acts like Björk and Wu-Tang Clan. In the next year, the duo released the debut studio album, Appetite for Disctruction, on Studio !K7. Five years in the making, it features vocal contributions from MC Triple H and singers Greenwood and Carin.[2]

Critical reception

Brian Musich of AllMusic said, "Funkstörung creates an aural world of maddeningly complex soundscapes." CMJ New Music Report called it "the music Afrika Bambaataa might have created were he inspired by Autechre instead of Kraftwerk."[3]
