Funker 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 Kaestel 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

 Not Vogt's best. December 2, 1999
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Funker Vogt are rather good at having their own style in the admittedly cliched field of electro-industrial music. This is probably their most generic effort, however. Disc 1 - with the exception of two rather repetitive remixes of "Killing Fields" - is largely a winner, and features the astounding song "Vision". It's all downhill from there though. Disc 2 is all remixes, and generally not very good ones. Most of the remixes either hack the songs down to industrial-dance filler, or are so close to the original song (e.g. the Killing Fields remixes, Wartime) that the remix seems unnecessary. My advice: Skip this and get We Came To Kill instead.
 Pathetic effort. October 10, 2001

Funker Vogt is already quite well known with their electro-hard industrial sounds. While they haven't really made anything groundbreaking tracks, they have made some tracks that are catchy and hard. However, they skipped a step here with no decent effort. This is a remix cd yet the remixes are bland. I can not express how disappointed I was when the remixes only revealed slight changes or overdone distortion. Then again, the electro/industrial scene hasn't really been groundbreaking the last 5-10 years.
 only 2 reasons to buy, but 2 good reasons March 14, 2000

First things first. Almost all of the other songs arent very good. But evil's birth and vision are so good that it is worth buying the album for just those two songs.

A great album with remixes of The Killing Fields. Killing Time Again offers other grat tracks as Evils Birth and Vision. One more great album from one of the greatest German industrial bands. This is a definate recomended buy.

This CD was quite interesting at first, I mean the music was great...the lyrics...harsh. My first impression was: "This band sucks. They don't know how to sing." But strangely enough, I have grown to like the band a whole lot. The words somehow complete the songs. I mean if they just sang the words like normal bands, they wouldn't be Funker Vogt. The almost screaming words somehow blend in with the melodies the more you listen to them. This CD is wonderful and I hope to buy more of theirs. If you like Rammstein, KMFDM, etc. DEFINATELY buy this CD. Overall...harsh, but genuinely satisfying!
