the most recent 2 albums are their best imo, can't get enough of 'em. I'd have agreed with "all sounds the same" before 2017 but not anymore

Totally agree. Especially Element 115 is probably their best album since Maschine Zeit, and it's definitely a grower. In the past few years, thanks to the new lineup, they are reborn.

"Element 115" is certainly one of the most energic and rhythmic releases they've done. I like it a lot, though there's a bit of soul lacking from "Conspiracy" EP - where rhythm and background were synchronised a bit more. Still, new album is very solid, a bit more futurepop-y than I used to, but enjoyable and well executed.

I like the futuristic approach on their latest album. However... I dunno but Funker Vogt sounds always the same. Sometimes I was even wondering whether I am listening to Eisfabrik. There just doesnt seem to be any kind of evolution in the bands sound and it always sounds the same. Kinda boring. Sure, Gerrit Thomas has a own sound but it doesnt really help if all of his releases sound the same. It all just sounds like I have heard it already. A lot...

Ich liebe "Element 115", wenn eine Band mit einer solchen Kraft und Fortschrittsbereitschaft in der deutschen elektronischen Musik Texte ins Spanische bringt, ist etwas Episches, schwer zu beschreiben, das einen Transport in eine andere Zeit macht, von der man als junger Rebell dabei war, dass "To The Sun" ohne Zweifel der beste Song ist.

I agree a lot of their songs sound great remixed ("Neumix") - like Date of Expiration, from the EP Conspiracy (2020) but I still miss Jens... The new guy isn't bad, I just prefer Jens vocals!

It's been years since he's gone, and he ain't coming back. His post- FV project, The Firm Inc. has also been gone from social media for some time. Jens himself said that he doesn't know if the band will come back, he's now focused on his rock band - Kaestel.

Ну я смотрю, они держатся. Wastelands вполне так прилично звучит, есть хорошие запоминающиеся композиции (изначальная цель группы), особенно в конце альбома.

Я бы сказал, что они дрифтуют в более "клубную" версию себя. Это вроде бы стрёмно, а вроде бы и даёт какое-то разнообразие на фоне всех их последних рeлизов. Но всё таки я лично придерживаюсь мнения большинства товарищей в этом руторе, что вся истинная суть Фанкер Вогта передана именно в период альбомов с 1998-2010. Но я не отрицаю того факта что в Wastlands есть запоминающиеся треки, например тот же "Atme den Schmerz" на который ты намекаешь.

Посмотрим-с, сейчас по крайне мере рано что-либо серьёзно полагать. Ситуация после ухода Йенса разумеется нанесла незначительный удар по звучанию, но откровенных "радужных соплей" тут пока не наблюдается, (что замечательно на самом деле. Потому что однажды сделали Sick Man c Сашей Корном... и... они пытались с помощью фильтров заставить его вокал звучать походя на их старого вокалиста. Но это так не работает лол! ) так что ждём новых релизов.

Мне по нраву, что вокалист Agonoize в отличие от своего проекта, где он тупо мерзко скримит, на предпоследнем Funker Vogt спел очень здорово.

ну во-первых фУнкер Фогт, пишите правильно. а во-вторых я не вижу например "неразнообразия" в последних релизах. олсо хочется сказать что и в альбомах нулевых годов, и в альбомах десятых годов есть хорошие запоминающиеся хиты. ну может раньше (2005 и 2007 в частности) их было чуть больше - 5-6 на альбом, сейчас меньше - 3-4 штуки. ну и ладно. Геррит по-моему до сих пор показывает свое композиторское мастерство (при чем не только в радистах но и в хладокомбинате). PS - а как по-вашему уход вокалиста (который ничего не писал) нанес удар по звучанию ? (особенно если учесть что оно изменилось за 3 года до его ухода?)

Педивикия: Также сменилась визуальная стилистика группы Funker vogt с военной на ближе к хипстерскому стилю, из-за внешности участников. Сам же Йенс теперь выступает в трио The Firm Incorporated, также направления EBM. На данный момент наблюдается моральное и стилистическое разложение группы, как по оформлению концертов, так и по поведению участников. Судя по действиям Геррита, прослеживается планомерное избавление от всех, уже бывших в текущее время участников, возможно чтобы избавиться от их влияния и стать независимым.

I have ten favorite songs. But it could be better they will turn to 2010-2013 style. :(

Same for me. Been listening to it in the car for a while now, and still can't really remember any songs, except for the single "Feel the Pain" and that in a bad way. I remember it because it's so damn boring.

Coming beginning of next year I think. "Midget Vampire Porn" was the title I think. I am hyped and expect quite a lot after such a long break.

Oh boy I gonna piss off some guys saying that for me this band is absolutely overrated and dull. Dunno, their music is nothing special and consists mainly out of average EBM. Also the mastering of many of their releases is really bad. I really wonder why they are so successful. Guess because it is generic and mainstream? They came out the same time as E-Craft and for me E-Craft is milestones ahead of them. Yes, even with their shorter catalogue and the fact that they barely produce anything anymore nowadays but every of their releases was interesting and brought something new. Also I never understood the "War" design of the band. For me nearly none of their tracks sound like that.

Have you checked out The Firm Incorporated, btw? It's basically E-Craft with the ex-vocalist of Funker Vogt.

What's funny is that I never realised (and still it's difficult for me) "overratedness" or popularity of Funker Vogt. Like, I always thought they're somehow known in their "military-industrial" niche, but nothing more. So "mainstream" is kinda weird word for me, especially that you mentioned FV in my similar comment about Suicide Commando, which is objectively most mainstream act out here - mainly because many non-rivetheads/industrialists know SC as well :D / about military content, it's nothing but industrial ideology - "we are talking about war, so we want to fight against their violence"

And I mention The Prodigy and Rammstein because that's what 90 % of the people would say, even though they're not really EBM or industrial :)

I think there is a clear difference between "Electro" Industrial and actual "Rock/Metal" Industrial. I know most people dumb this all into Industrial but they hardly have that much to do with each other plus the fans are also really split up between those 2 different Industrial genres. This is also why I almost always refer to Electro Industrial when I talk about such bands. Would say Industrial Rock for bands like Rammstein. The rock genre is a lot more in the mainstream than the electro one. But honestly I like it that way since I can't do much with music produced for the big mass, which Industrial Rock often is for me. I do listen to Rammstein though. But beside of that not really anything anymore. Used to more many years ago but I pretty much stopped listening to such genres. Metal too. Just doesn't interest me much anymore plus most bands sound similar or even the same to me. Weirdly enough I don't have this usually with the electro one. Some Dark Electro bands maybe...

Ah, Combichrist is actually kind of American. Just the main guy is Norwegian, but apparently been in the US for a long time.

meh, каким же скунчым стал Радист после прихода Лоуренца >< никаких боевиков, только фирменный и тошнотворный пафос в типичном для агонойза стиле. :с

A как приход Криса влияет на "скучность" музыки в вашем понимании если музыку почти все время писал только Геррит (который похоже вообще никогда не меняет настройки своих синтов)? Крис просто певец, и на мой взгляд хороший в рамках ФФ. Очень нравятся такие хиты как Fur Immer, Gladiator, Armed and Dengerous ну и Phonix тоже. По-моему в лучших традициях Геррита.

ну, я имел ввиду то, что вокал Кастеля был более уместен и фактически являлся "визитной карточкой" проекта. а вокал Лоуренса как-то совсем не в тему. ну вот вообще не в тему. имхо.

Well, I do prefer The Firm Inc's album compared to Code of Conduct. Both are okay, but Veritas is more interesting, while especially the second half of CoC is too generic FV.

they should do the band a favour and change their name - that way the new singer wont lose their reputation

Funker without Jens, ain't Funker anymore. Geralt alone wont save the reputation of the band i think. Jens is bringing THE FIRM though, so that means we can still have him in a way. Oh well.. Oh and that new video with the new guy...it's beyond me. To say it was disgusting and terrible is not gonna be enough.
