Review by Nickolaus Pacione

Funkturm's latest album, Strata, is a mesmerizing journey through layers of sound that will captivate any listener. The band's unique blend of electronic and organic instrumentation creates a dynamic and immersive sonic landscape that is both intricate and accessible.

From the opening track "Intro," Funkturm sets the tone for the album with soaring synths and pulsing beats that build into a powerful crescendo. "Spectral" showcases the band's ability to blend live instrumentation with electronic production, creating a lush and textured sound that is both hypnotic and energizing.

Tracks like "Echoes" and "Interlude" offer a more introspective side of Strata, with haunting melodies and dreamlike atmospheres that invite the listener to get lost in the music. "Maelstrom" and "Reprise" bring the album to a climactic close, with driving rhythms and soaring melodies that leave a lasting impression.

About Funkturm

Funkturm began recording in 1996, and is processed, programmed and produced by Richard Gallon. Gallon's previous projects have included ambient experimental percussion duo Chemical Plant, Headbutt, and live sample improvisors Fork. Funkturm transmuted from Operation Mind Control, who released one album - Funkturm - on D.O.R. in 1994, as well as three cassette-only releases on the cult Chainsaw label from 1990 to 1993. The debut Funkturm album, Urban Mantras, is 9 tracks of minimalist breakbeats and hypnotic soundscapes. Funkturm takes its name from Berlin's radio tower. The name was chosen because of a fascination with the sounds and textures of international short-wave radio broadcasts. Radio sounds have been used throughout previous releases. A new album - provisionally titled Bon Tempi - is currently in progress, to be released later in 2001. The album is likely to feature more organic textures and instrumentation, heralding a return to the more improvisational nature of previous projects, melded with the hypnotic electronic rhythms and structures of Funkturm / Operation Mind Control work to date. The new material will be previewed on this site throughout the duration of recording. Stay tuned.
