Search - Funker Vogt :: T

Downward spiral for FV?

"Over the years, Funker Vogt has refined themselves from the days of Thanks for Nothing and We came to Kill, through the great Killing Time Again and Execution Tracks CDs, into the lackluster Maschine Zeit sound. With T, Funker Vogt provides only four new songs out of the fourteen included in the set. Gone are the harsh, distorted vocals. Instead, there is a poppy, sentimental sound that is not what FV started out as. Songs about the Oklahoma City bombing, and the Internet seem oddly out of place compared to their old standbys like Civil War and Thanks for Nothing. Funker Vogt still provides their trademark pounding beats, but the rest is watered down and not very satisfying for long time fans. Perhaps if you like some of Funker Vogt's side bands like Ravenous and Fictional, this set would be more appealing as the sound is more like them. The remixes are generally average, but some, like Beborn Beton's version of Under Deck, are lame and unrecognizable."

T is not FV's best, but it still has some great tracks

"Being a remix album, T probably will not win anyone's attention by itself. If you are a long time fan of Funker Vogt though, and liked their previous album, Maschine Zeit, you will likely find T enjoyable. Subspace is the best track on here, and will not disappoint any Funker Vogt fan. The other new songs are pretty good, though not quite as good as the ones found on FV's full albums. Most Of the remixes aren't as good as the originals in my opinion, although they are still entertaining in their own right. Unless you are a devoted fan of Funker Vogt who has to have all of their released material (like me), you may want to listen to T before buying it."
