Appetite for Disctruction is the debut studio album by the German IDM duo Funkstörung.[7] It was released on Studio !K7 on April 25, 2000.[8]

Background

In 1999, Funkstörung received international critical praise with Additional Productions, which included remixes for acts like Björk and Wu-Tang Clan.[8] In the next year, the duo released the debut studio album, Appetite for Disctruction, on Studio !K7.[8] Five years in the making, it features vocal contributions from MC Triple H and singers Greenwood and Carin.[8]

Critical reception

Brian Musich of AllMusic gave the album 4.5 stars out of 5, saying, "Funkstörung creates an aural world of maddeningly complex soundscapes."[1] CMJ New Music Report called it "the music Afrika Bambaataa might have created were he inspired by Autechre instead of Kraftwerk."[2]
