	Atari Teenage Riot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Highly political, they fused left-wing anarchist anti-fascist or Anti Nazis views with punk vocals and the newly emerging techno sound that was called digital hardcore, which is a term Alec Empire later used in the name of his record company.
		The group was founded as an attack on the increasingly neo-Nazi influenced German techno scene and consisted of three Berliners - Alec Empire, Hanin Elias and MC Carl Crack.
		According to Alec Empire, Future of War was noteworthy because of its "left-rooted critique of the 'modern' high-tech-war, as we had seen it all some years previously during the Gulf War." [1]

	Alec Empire / Atari Teenage Riot - May 1998
		Alec Empire makes it no secret that he is powered by aggression and that nothing short of a complete destruction of the social order is necessary.
		Alec Empire’s emissions in a number of guises since 1991 for Force Inc, Mille Plateaux and his own imprints Digital Hardcore (DHR) and Geist have seen him fly in the face of German trends.
		Empire explains; "In Germany I felt that Mille Plateaux was becoming limited in its appeal because of the development of a kind of pseudo-intellectuals who didn’t want to engage with the politics of the music.

	Alec Empire - Intelligence And Sacrifice - Review
		The first CD of the set is dedicated to the Empire that most know, one that screams his catch-lines over regurgitated riffs and chunky beats.
		Needless to say, Empire is still pissed as hell, and with song titles like "Everything Starts With A Fuck" (in which the lyrics of the song seem to be almost entirely comprised of that one line) and "Killing Machine," it's not exactly subtle.
		Empire is actually at his best on the second disc when he takes the more subtle route.

	Alec Empire: Futurist - Release Music Magazine review
		I'm talking about the death of rock'n'roll - and so begins the latest album by Alec Empire; possibly one of the most famous of all the crossover metal/electronic/noise artists, and of course founder and original member of one of the most exciting and original bands of the 90's - Atari Teenage Riot.
		For me Alec Empire is one of the true pioneers of the new industrial/electronic genres - creating some of the most genre-defining tracks with his typically "shouty" vocals and hard-edged sounds.
		Alec Empire has very much found his niche in music, and this album continues in the same vein; if you are a fan of Alec Empire, this album will satisfy you, if you've never heard any of his or his label's work - here is as good a place to start as any.

	Alec Empire band
		The 14 trackson the album show Empire at his hardcore best, foreshadowing the hard dance trends popularized a few years later by the likes of The Prodigy and Fatboy Slim.
		And absent are the sophomoric ravings and posturings of Atari Teenage Riot.
		Empire's crunchy beats draw the listener into a frenetic groove while crashing, distorted synthstabs and bomb-dropped basslines blast away any hint of boogie.

	sinewaves - alec empire
		Born on May 2, 1972, in West Berlin, Alec Empire was early influenced by rap and the breakdancing scene.
		By the turn of the decade, Empire became fascinated by the sound of acid and techno, though he detested the drug culture inherent at raves.
		Empire was often identified with (and pigeonholed for) his ATR productions — lo-fi breakbeats played at the speed of thrash that simultaneously embraced the energy of punk, the uncompromising ferocity of industrial music, and the futurism of techno.

	dso \| audio \| gig reviews \| Alec Empire / Zan Lyons - The Garage, London - 10 December, 2001 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The youthful appearance of many at tonight's event was surprising, I was unaware that hardcore legend Alec Empire continued to draw in new followers from the younger end of the age spectrum.
		Down the front, arms were flailing and punches flying, but there was never a sign of any trouble, as these were merely peers (broad smiles of their faces) exchanging blows in some sort of life-affirming ritual.
		This may well have been a physical necessity - Empire was soaked in sweat, mouth wide open gasping for air throughout - but if he were so delirious he would not have thought to stop.

	Alec Empire -- The Destroyer -- Digital Hardcore Records (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Whether Alec is doing his solo thing or screaming with his Atari Teenage Riot bandmates, he is still the leader of the DHR movement (at least the label mastermind), and he is as intense here as he is on his other efforts.
		Loaded with Chuck D (Public Enemy) samples, distorted breakbeats, and tweaked-out bass, it is obvious that Alec likes to grab the throat right from the start, and keep on chuckling you until it is all over.
		It is clear that Alec plays all the right cards when it comes to performance by concentrating on both the music and the crowd.

	Alec Empire - Intelligence and Sacrifice Album Review
		After 2 years of intense writing and development, Alec Empire resurfaces with his new album intelligence and sacrifice (I and S).
		Empire couldn't have concluded the first section in a better way; this leads you through to the quite contrasting part 2.
		Apparently Empire spent most of his studio time, working on the second part of this album, the music has a lighter feel but still manages to remain edgy and keep your attention while you float through an interesting mixture of dark electro sound effects.

		Empire returns following the tragic death of his ATR bandmate Carl Crack with what may be the most brutal album of his career to date.
		Alec Empire is a very angry man, and this album is concerned with much the same subject matter as his work in Atari Teenage Riot; armageddon, demise of culture, hatred of pop culture.
		Track one gets you re-aquainted with Alec as he gently throws you back into his rollercoaster musical onslaught.After this its a none stop exciting metal-beat fest.The passion with which Alec delivers every note is simply overwhelming.

	Alec Empire: Futurist: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		As second-generation industrial egoist-martyrs go, German pitbull Alec Empire and Trent Reznor have a lot in common.
		It's easy to poke fun at Alec's somewhat lost-in-translation goth-gangster pose, but for all his anti-establishment hollering, Empire's mantras often come off as a tad militaristic in their repetitive simplicity.
		Futurist, with its muddy, one-note punk-thrash revivalism that belies his talents as a versatile studio auteur, is as frustratingly unremarkable and immobile as the governments he so blatantly rails against.

		Empire was sure belting them out, but they were completely drowned out by a sheer wall on noise.

	Alec Empire - Free six track preview of the new album Intelligence and Sacrifice
		Alec Empire released Intelligence and Sacrifice on April 22nd on Digital Hardcore.
		Alec Empire’s astounding output over the last eight years has encompassed the all out noise assault of Atari Teenage Riot and his own, “Destroyer,” album to the neo-classicism of, “Les Etoiles,” and the conceptual modernism of, “Hypermodern Jazz.”
		These build up as the album moves on until it peaks in “Alec’s Ladder,” a combination of revolutionary sounds and spatial effects which disorientate the mind before leading the listener back to the starting point of the opening track “2641998”.

	BBC - Manchester Music - Alec Empire - Intelligence And Sacrifice
		Cut across two CDs, the first bearing the brunt of Alec's full on rock techno noise and venom and the second exploring a more electronic dark world, Intelligence And Sacrifice is nothing short of a masterpiece of anarchistic, emotional sound.
		CD two is a much more intimate affair, revealing the cerebral side of Empire's sound, with the likes of The Cat Women Of The Moon, Two Turntables And A Moog and Silence And Burning Ice slipping around your consciousness, soothing you with one hand and turning the knife with the other.
		Alec Empire has always been a very important artist.

	Alec Empire MP3 Downloads - Alec Empire Music Downloads - Alec Empire Music Videos
		As with Atari Teenage Riot, Empire's sheer humorlessness becomes terribly funny upon reflection.
		If he seems doomed to essentially plow the same musical furrow again and again -- ironically dating himself more and more with time as a result -- the variations he comes up with often turn out to be winners.
		Empire's highlight of his solo career appears here, "The Peak." Combining barreling drum loops, huge distortion crunches, and a voice claiming "When you've reached your peak, it's time to die!," it's a truly compelling example of Empire's work.
