how to explain?

when you're feeling angry, listen to this and let the rage subside. the music is an anger release tool.

Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy this CD- which is chock full of classic beats and pounding baselines - BUT - it is nothing new. The CD contains remixes for past tracks and they tend to be boring and not as hard as some of Funker Vogt's previous remixes. I was excited about this new release but was left a little disappointed. I wish it was a new full legnth CD - not a rehash. Pick it up if you are a fan but pass it over and pick up Execution Tracks if you want true Funker Vogt.

Funker Vogt has been my favorite band for over a year now, I've liked electronic and felt at home with their militant feel to their music.

Code 7477 has pretty much 3 songs and 1 extra song. First of all, the songs Funker Vogt and Funker Vogt 2nd unit have a 2 versions, one in English and one in German, both are good. Both Black Hole remixes are in English, I fill that the 'Blind' version is better. Taxi Zum Mars is a decent song, if you get by the...introduction.

Funker Vogt should fill pretty at home with the music, traditional Funker Vogt, I would explain it as a mix between Execution Tracks and Maschine Zeit in terms of lyrics.

Overall : 4/5

Well, I rather would have seen a new full-length album by Funker Vogt, but Code:7477 does have a few good remixes. The first six tracks are redone versions of Funker Vogt's earlier songs (Funker Vogt, Funker Vogt 2nd Unit, and Black Hole), and the 7th track is a new song entitled Taxi zum Mars. As for the remixes, they sound great and have not lost their charm being redone with FV's current sound. They still implement the fast, pounding bass and electric synth quality one would expect from Funker Vogt. The new track, Taxi zum Mars, is OK but it was really meant to be a bonus track so it isn't quite as good as FV's feature songs. If you are a long time fan of Funker Vogt, you should pick this one up. Otherwise, you may want to check out one of their full length albums instead such as "Maschine Zeit" or "Execution Tracks".

Not a bad new release from these guys. My main quip is that it's all four to the floor. It sounds like some German trance artist got really upset with the rave scene and started funker vogt. Picture a more danceable Rammstein or something.
