"I promise this is the by far best record we ever released on Musik Aus Strom....no ass-kissing!!! Although some of the tracks are almost three years old, the album is still far beyond most of the stuff which is released nowadays. Crunch manages to create a extremely warm feeling, the melodies are incredibly beautiful and the beats are just perfectly programmed. The album includes superrelaxing ambient songs, as well as hip hop and jazz influenced IDM-tracks all with very crunchy sounds of course....ooohhhh, shit I can't explain it properly. You have to listen to it yourself! try the tracks 1 (GRAMA), 4 (POLLEN), 9 (ART PYLON) and 13 (TOE TAC TIC)... You are missing some personal information about Crunch or about Restate, the designers who did this fantastic sleeve?? Hmmm, that's because there is no information. I don't know anything about Crunch, I just got a fucking great demotape with an obscure e-mail address on it only. Crunch refuses till today to give me any infos. I don't know how many people Crunch are, what their (his/her) name(s) are/is, I even don't know where Crunch is from (although the tape was posted in London)....and Restate??! They send me some supernice jpegs via e-mail with the offer to do some designs for Musik Aus Strom. Did they give me their names??? guess! I got all the designs via e-mail, I never spoke to anyone at RESTATE and even all their e-mails were written like you are talking to a smashed up computer (just try to read the infos on the sleeve, that's how all the emails looked like). ...Are all these people scared of Musik Aus Strom??? Anyway, who needs senseless information if the music is so unbelievably good? Take care, Michael Fakesch/Funkstorung." Limited stock.

"Munich actually houses other people, who are producing music besides all that horrible commercial techno/trance/Eurodisco crap. This one is produced by Jan Bruhnke, who came into the Delirium store nearly one year ago and left -- a little shy -- '...a tape for the Funkstörung guys...'. The tape itself was really a big surprise -- very noisy rhythms, which sound like the last sighs of a nearly dead drumcomputer. Sometimes the melodies and analogue sounds are influenced by old trashy science-fiction soundtracks, but sometimes they remind also of Funkstörung, if they would just sound a bit more 'cheerful' and analogue."

Michael Fakesch used to be one-half of Funkstörung (alongside Chris De Luca). From 1994 until their break-up in 2006, the two electronic wizards have been pioneers in combining weird beats, digital electro-madness and beautiful melodies. Their merciless remixes for Björk and Wu-Tang Clan marked their breakthrough and gained them international fame. After the demise of Funkstörung, Michael Fakesch concentrated on doing sound-designs for commercials (e.g. Toyota, Sony, Vodafone, Kia, Phillips) and even won the Grand Prix 2009 of the Cannes Golden Lions. He has made music for short films, he has reprocessed soundtracks, composed drafts for Hollywood scores, and -- of course -- also done remixes. For the remix compilation Exchange, Michael Fakesch collected all his best remixes and therefore builds on Funkstörung's milestones Additional Productions or Viceversa. Due to the fact that most of these remixes have never been released or have only been available in very limited amounts, this remix compilation can be considered a new Fakesch album. Featuring remixes of the following artists: Mr. Oizo, Booka Shade, Scaffolding, Bomb The Bass, Paul Conboy, Shadowhuntaz, Raz Ohara, Towa Tei, Taprikk Sweezee, Hecq, Von Südenfed, Hexhead, B+, Kidkanevil, Her Bad Habit, Herbert, Jean Jacques Perrey, Notwist, The Broadway Project, and Franz Kirmann.
