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 Kästel 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

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Vogt's best., December 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Killing Time Again (Audio CD)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars A nice collection of remixes...and a few new songs too, November 20, 2000

If you're not a devoted fan of Funker Vogt, you might not be very impressed with this 2 CD set of remixes. There are some songs on Killing Time Again that stand out on their own though...mainly the new songs and the remixes of Killing Fields. Some of the tracks on here do sound sort of experimental or bland, but for the most part I was pleased. If you love Funker Vogt's music and are looking for an additional fix to tide you over till their next full album, by all means get Killing Time Again. If you've never heard Funker Vogt before, get one of their full albums like Execution Tracks, Maschine Zeit, or We Came To Kill to familiarize yourself with their sound.

4.0 out of 5 stars only 2 reasons to buy, but 2 good reasons, March 13, 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.
