Over two years in the making, Funkstamatic is a clear step forward from the rootsy beginnings of Euro Cinema´s debut album "Ten-4!". Where that album was all about Blue Note style Hammond jazz, Funkstamatic is funkier and much more varied. One reason for the variation on the album is the different musical guests like Susanne Alt (flute and sax on The French Confusion and Der Alte) and Ploctones sax player Efraïm Trujillo who has been performing live with Euro Cinema with spectacular results, as can be heard on tracks like Ducktape, Going Up, Lay it Down and Brighton Barry plus let;s not forget Vipertones vocalist Sanne Monster who´s voice can be heard on the single Going Up and Lay it Down.
