Being a Funckarma junkie, I hunted this one down. Was it worth it? Well, yes, but I didn't pay too much...

Funckarma on this release is credited only to Don Funcken, and Android only to Roel Funcken, so it’s very interesting to hear their separate roots on two of the earliest tracks they released. Trump’n’Bass actually has a bit of the Automotive flavor in it, with some jazz trumpet throughout, but the beats remind me of acid jazz breaks – even Fila Brazillia-esque. Android goes into other territory, driving steadily through a progressive house realm. What’s amazing is how totally different both tracks sound when compared to the sound Funckarma is now famous for. In this case, the whole is exponentially greater than the sum of its parts.

Other standout tracks include Cosmic Indian’s ‘Voicebox,’ which really reminds me of Beaumont Hannant’s dancefloor tracks, and The Deep’s ‘Random’ which could easily be at home on one of AFX’s Analord 12”s.
