Who would have thought back in 1995 that FUNKER VOGT, originally  a side project of Hameln-based band RAVENOUS, would go on in     
record time to become one of Germany's the most popular          
electronic acts?
Despite the frequently provocative themes of their lyrics û war  
and the military - which consciously irritate and disturb, their 
fan community has been growing continuously. Even early          
releases, such as "Thanks For Nothing" and "Tragic Hero", soon   
became EBM classics, and the duo consisting of Gerrit Thomas     
(keyboards) and Jens Kaestel (vocals) has been complemented by   
Bjoern Boettcher (keyboards), Frank Schweigert (guitar) und      
Thomas Kroll (guitar) at the band's increasingly sophisticated   
live shows. Most recently, since the arrival of their last two   
studio albums, "Navigator" and "Aviator", it has become quite    
apparent that FUNKER VOGT have become a force to be reckoned     
with on the electro scene - unwavering, indestructible and,      
above all, unmistakable.
So, a live retrospective of their creative oeuvre is long        
overdue.  Recorded on 26 April 2008 at Berlin's K17, this double 
DVD features a full concert consisting of all 22 hits from the   
past 12 years & a concert that was as raw, dynamic, and          
unvarnished as we've come to know FUNKER VOGT. These are all     
original recordings, with nothing ironed out or added in the     
studio. Everything was recorded in top quality, filmed with 6 HD 
cameras plus camera crane in 5.1 surround sound.  When it came   
to the mix, the emphasis was placed on the live atmosphere, so   
for the first time, the familiar FUNKER VOGT hits are presented  
the way we've known and loved them for years.                    
highlights are recordings from FUNKER VOGT's          
performances at the MÆera Luna festivals 2002, 2004 and 2006,    
including the 2004 concert in its entirety. These shows, as well 
as five tracks from the 2007 release "Aviator" (on DVD 1), round 
off the picture and document impressively the band's development 
over the years.  And as if all that wasn't enough, there's also  
a slide show and fan interviews, giving the fans an opportunity  
to talk about FUNKER VOGT and how they see the band.
This is the audio-rip of the 2DVD-Boxset "Warzone K17 Live In    
Berlin".
