Amazon.comFunker Vogt eke out an existence on the same desolate, war-torn musical landscape as their German countrymen :Wumpscut:. You know the drill: heavily distorted vocals, brutal mechanical beats, and obscure movie samples. But before you peg Funker Vogt as just another cog in the faceless machine of industrial dance music, take a listen to this two-CD set of remixes and new material (comprising three previously import-only EPs). Matching pound for pound the aggressiveness and energy Funker Vogt bring to their craft is a distinct musicality. "Take Care (U.S. Remix)" marries an epic synth line to growling vocals that melt away to etherealness in the chorus. And on "Vision"--which, with its slower tempo and somber keyboards, almost qualifies as a ballad--vocalist Jens Kästel manages to convey emotion through the distortion effects. Other highlights include the rave-friendly mixes of "Killing Fields" and the multilayered grooves of "The Third War (Original Mix)." So what are you waiting for? Grab your partner and head to a postapocalyptic dance floor near you! --Steve Landau
