Alec Empire made some great music when he was young and angry. But he's a complete fucking plonker.

WWWTTTFFFFFF!!!???

Man, that was embarassing. What happened to him?

ATR was my favorite band when I was 13/14. Having grown up being only exposed to radio rock, when I heard ATR for the first time, my brain melted, and I became obsessed. They are what got me into electronic music. As I got more into electronic music, I drifted away from ATR... there was much more interesting stuff to listen to. The energy was really what grabbed me... the energy and the abrasiveness. When I listen to them now, I can't really stomach it much any more, but I still understand why it grabbed me originally. They were also the first concert I ever went to, and so they do have a special place in my heart...

but holy shit what the hell happened to him? As I grew older I realized more and more he was kind of full of shit, but that video verifies it completely.

I saw him in manchester a couple of years ago on his 'past, present and future' tour. He didnt play anything before 2001 the fucking arse. Nic Endo was there though so it at least gave me something to watch while I was there.

Yeah but guys...

What a tit

Fuck I could hardly get through that video.

His Hellish Vortex studio looks great, its a pity that everything that's come out of it so far has been garbage.

The Destroyer was Bad. Ass.

Looks like his latest 10-trac LP is available on BandCamp: http://alecempire.bandcamp.com/album/the-golden-foretaste-of-heaven

I've only just begun listening though, so it's too early to provide a full review/impression ATM.

LOL this thread,

I was listening to Intelligence and Sacrifice the other day, I really love it still - the over the top rage is all part of the fun. But that video I posted a while back in that Mac shop is still massively cringe.. And so is Bug on my Windshield. Oh man, Alec call it a day please.

I was never into ATR back in the day but I can appreciate the statement they made. The only impression that Alec Empire gives today is a prime example of someone whos got carried away with his own hype and has flown well and truly up ones own backside.

from 1998's "Miss Black America"

im not gonna lie, I loved Revolution Action and had a huge crush on Nic Endo ( i think i still do?)

Love Cold Metal Perfection and Nic Endo is sexy.

I&S CD2 and CD2 Live sessions are the last great thing Alec did. Needs a mention in this thread.

Just listened to "My Face Would Crack", and now listening to "Bug On My Windshield."

Went from listening to something totally awesome to another thing that's utter shit by the same artist. How can?

It's funny because it is taken down by Alec Empire himself (DHR), you know, the guy actively speaking out about things like censorship.
