The Return to the Acid Planet is an album released by German IDM artists Funkstörung in 2005. It commemorates the duo's 10th anniversary as recording artists, and consists of new versions of unreleased early tracks as well as some new tracks in the same style. Even though it sounds very much like acid house, Funkstörung replaced most of the original straight beats with breakbeats. The album sounds very technical and synthetic, with only sparse voice samples added to the 303 basslines and 808 beats. Funkstörung have noted that they didn't use real vintage hardware for the record, but virtual instruments that sounded quite the same.
The album is only available as limited edition double vinyl (!K7 Records catalogue number !K7186LP) and in the iTunes Music Store. Funkstörung have stated that "there are enough CDs already". No singles have been released, although there is a music video for "Punk Motherfucker".

Famous quotes containing the words return and/or planet:
“I can neither return your love nor dismiss it.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Spring is strong and virtuous,
Broad-sowing, cheerful, plenteous,
Quickening underneath the mould
Grains beyond the price of gold.
So deep and large her bounties are,
That one broad, long midsummer day
Shall to the planet overpay
The ravage of a year of war.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
