Why Am I Hearing of This on Wikipedia?
Funplex is an album containing 11 songs recorded by The B-52's in 2006 and 2007. The band took a long time to shop the album around to different labels in order to secure favorable intellectual property rights to the music, something previous record contracts did not afford them.
It is the first album of new material that the group has released since Good Stuff in 1992 and is scheduled to be released in the United States on March 25, 2008.
The album came as a result of the band's renewed touring, and a feeling that they needed something new to perform. Guitarist Keith Strickland was inspired to create an updated sound for the band when listening to the New Order album Get Ready and hired producer Steve Osborne as a result. A more modern use of electronica production is the most distinct mark of the band's new sound.
