Vice Versa (Funkstörung Album)
''Vice Versa'' is a collection of remixes done by the German IDM outfit Funkstörung and released on October 30, 2001.

It is the second collection of Funkstörung remixes, the first being '' Additional Productions'', released in 1999.

Additional Productions
''Additional Productions'' is the first album-length release of the German IDM group Funkstörung, and also the first on their current label, !K7 Records. It is not strictly an album, since it only contains remixes of other artists done by Funkstörung, but since there is seldom more than parts of the vocals of the original songs left, it is often classified as an album proper nonetheless. The booklet, designed by The Designers Republic, features a complete Funkstörung corporate identity manual, including painting schemes for planes, boats and buildings. There is a very limited (100 copies) grey 180g vinyl edition of this album, which contains three additional remixes ("Galaxy" by War, Funckarma's "Spatial Convolution", and the second " All Is Full of Love" remix from ''björkmitfunkstörung''), but omits "Bust It".
