Funkstorung sound like Ae inasmuch as they were inspired by them. However, Funkstorung was doubtlessly influenced by a number of people, and it shows. I think Ae and Funkstorung complement each other well, rather than Funkstorung being a mediocre send-off of Ae's work. On days when I grow tired of Ae's mind-bogglingly complex rhythms and often-soulless mechanical feel, I put on Funkstorung (or other MAS acts), and am quite relieved.
