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.

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.

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.

A great album with remixes of The Killing Fields. Killing Time Again offers other grat tracks as Evils Birth and Vision. One more great album from one of the greatest German industrial bands. This is a definate recomended buy.

Funker Vogt is already quite well known with their electro-hard industrial sounds. While they haven't really made anything groundbreaking tracks, they have made some tracks that are catchy and hard. However, they skipped a step here with no decent effort. This is a remix cd yet the remixes are bland. I can not express how disappointed I was when the remixes only revealed slight changes or overdone distortion. Then again, the electro/industrial scene hasn't really been groundbreaking the last 5-10 years.

This CD was quite interesting at first, I mean the music was great...the lyrics...harsh. My first impression was: "This band sucks. They don't know how to sing." But strangely enough, I have grown to like the band a whole lot. The words somehow complete the songs. I mean if they just sang the words like normal bands, they wouldn't be Funker Vogt. The almost screaming words somehow blend in with the melodies the more you listen to them. This CD is wonderful and I hope to buy more of theirs. If you like Rammstein, KMFDM, etc. DEFINATELY buy this CD. Overall...harsh, but genuinely satisfying!
