Function 8

Happy New Year Good People!

December 4, 2007 was the worldwide release of the first Function 8 compilation entitled “Function 8, We’re All Wearing Capes.” Compiled by label head Gadget, it features a few of the Function 8 catalog favorites but it mostly features more of the abstract and missed tracks that shows the evolution of Function 8 music. The last track is a lovely gem … a remix of a Jet Black Crayon track “Collapse With Trophy” by A Grape Dope (John Herndon from Tortoise, Isotope 217, Prefuse 73, etc.). The complete title is Jet Black Crayon “Collapse With Trophy (Asphalt Disguise Mix by A Grape Dope).” It is insane… in the best possible way to be insane. You can listen to it here or on the Function 8 myspace page. This release is digital only so go to your favorite download or streaming site and check it out. The deal of all deals is “Buy Album” (like in iTunes and other download sites) since it’s 16 tracks for $10! It was released in Japan on September 26, 2007 but comes out in the rest of the world today (slightly confusing is on iTunes, etc. it has the Japanese release date). And … the bonus … amazing original artwork by Natas Kaupas … who has done just about all Function 8 artwork, logos and style. Check it and enjoy!
