FUNKER VOGT - We Came To Kill
Songs: 12  Time: 59:56
Not only has Funker Vogt Come to Kill, but also to blow everyone’s mind away with this most highly awaited second full-length release.  Although it was just last year that they appeared on this musical landscape, with the high-sounding Thanks For Nothing album and the later to follow Words of Power EP, let me start by saying, that was just a sneak peek at what these musical masterminds are capable of doing.  They have created some of the best intelligent electronic body music I have heard for some time.  With We Came To Kill they have proven their sound to be very unique.  From beginning to end their compositions are very powerful musically and lyrically.  The song structures are very impacting, containing addictive melodies, strong sequences, and aggressive rhythms.  In my honest opinion, all the songs are outstanding, and I do not want to credit anyone of them any less, but there is a need to mention some of these impressive tracks.  Time Of Dreams, the opening piece starts things off pretty hard, and gives you a warning sign to strap down and enjoy the ride.  Following comes the already smash floor hit Take Care, giving you a different version than that of the single; they also provide a mostly piano driven version of  Take Care at the end of the disk, showing their talent to reconstruct a song.  Another conspicuous track is Stupid Incident; the bass line is just incredible.  Wartime is another track that needs to be mentioned as being one of those songs that just gets your adrenaline going.  Siegeszug is another song that is quite enjoyable and again different from the next, an electronic instrumental piece with a nice melody and excellent samples.  Funker Vogt are definitely making a name for themselves, making them one of the best bands of the Zoth Ommog label.  We Came To Kill is a must for any Electro-head, and if you have not picked it up, what are you waiting for!!!
