██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ This is the second release ever that Alec ██▓▓
██▓▓ Empire created. And also very rare. ██▓▓
██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ Some little things about what Alec Empire ██▓▓
██▓▓ says about his style : ██▓▓
██▓▓ "My music takes people to places where ██▓▓
██▓▓ they've never been before. Some never ██▓▓
██▓▓ return, and those who did are scared to go ██▓▓
██▓▓ back." - Alec Empire, September 2001 ██▓▓
██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ Empire is many things to many people. A man ██▓▓
██▓▓ with an extraordinary recording history. The ██▓▓
██▓▓ musical revolutionary behind avant garde ██▓▓
██▓▓ noise-punk outfit Atari Teenage Riot. The ██▓▓
██▓▓ electronic music experimentalist who has ██▓▓
██▓▓ made records on a Gameboy.. A consummate ██▓▓
██▓▓ musician who has worked with an ██▓▓
██▓▓ extraordinarily broad range of peers; for ██▓▓
██▓▓ example he is the only producer who has ██▓▓
██▓▓ remixed artists as diverse as Blues legend ██▓▓
██▓▓ R.L. Burnside, Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore, ██▓▓
██▓▓ Bjork, Rob Zombie, The Jon Spencer Blues ██▓▓
██▓▓ Explosion, Slayer, ██▓▓
██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ Einsturzende Neubauten, and members of the ██▓▓
██▓▓ new Hip Hop generation like Company Flow or ██▓▓
██▓▓ Prince Paul's Handsome Boy Modeling School ██▓▓
██▓▓ amongst a host of others. He has toured with ██▓▓
██▓▓ Rage Against The Machine, Wu-Tang Clan, ██▓▓
██▓▓ Beck, Ministry, Nine Inch Nails to name just ██▓▓
██▓▓ a few. He has played in over fifty countries ██▓▓
██▓▓ - as a DJ in small clubs mixing a remarkable ██▓▓
██▓▓ set comprised solely of Sun Ra Records, ██▓▓
██▓▓ leading Atari Teenage Riot on world tours ██▓▓
██▓▓ and most recently the triumphal appearance ██▓▓
██▓▓ at Fuji Rock in front of 20,000 people. ██▓▓
██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ The head of a series of labels that have ██▓▓
██▓▓ produced music of an abrasive and ██▓▓
██▓▓ forward-looking quality unmatched anywhere ██▓▓
██▓▓ in the record industry. But 29-year-old ██▓▓
██▓▓ Berliner Alec Empire is more even than all ██▓▓
██▓▓ this, as his expansive new double-album, ██▓▓
██▓▓ Intelligence And Sacrifice, clearly ██▓▓
██▓▓ demonstrates. ██▓▓
██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ "Intelligence And Sacrifice really reflects ██▓▓
██▓▓ what I am about right now. To keep it simple ██▓▓
██▓▓ I recorded and produced CD1 with a new band. ██▓▓
██▓▓ I took the hard metal element of ATR, added ██▓▓
██▓▓ electronic rock beats and a lot of guitars ██▓▓
██▓▓ and noise, and then, of course, my vocals. ██▓▓
██▓▓ Yes, you're right: It's Digital Hardcore's ██▓▓
██▓▓ Rock album, our ticket to headlining ██▓▓
██▓▓ festivals and the stadium tours. ██▓▓
██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ We played the first big shows at Japan's ██▓▓
██▓▓ Fuji Rock Festival. Some of the guys I used ██▓▓
██▓▓ on the record will not be able to tour ██▓▓
██▓▓ constantly, so I called up some friends. I ██▓▓
██▓▓ had Charlie Clouser from Nine Inch Nails on ██▓▓
██▓▓ synths, famous Japanese noise legend MERZBOW ██▓▓
██▓▓ on drums, Gabe Serbian from The Locust on a ██▓▓
██▓▓ second kit, and ATR's NIC ENDO on ██▓▓
██▓▓ synths/keyboards. Nic is in fact a permanent ██▓▓
██▓▓ member in the band and is responsible for ██▓▓
██▓▓ all the special effects, sounds, noises, and ██▓▓
██▓▓ the "Third World War" 14 minute apocalyptic ██▓▓
██▓▓ finale of the last song "New World Order." ██▓▓
██▓▓ We left the place in ashes. Kids went ██▓▓
██▓▓ totally insane and they didn't even know one ██▓▓
██▓▓ of the new songs! So CD1 is like driving an ██▓▓
██▓▓ expensive car very fast and crashing against ██▓▓
██▓▓ a wall. ██▓▓
██▓▓ CD2 is the opposite. It's not songs, it's ██▓▓
██▓▓ very "far out" electronic music without any ██▓▓
██▓▓ vocals. The concept is, "A cycle that never ██▓▓
██▓▓ ends," you find the beginning of track one ██▓▓
██▓▓ at the end of the CD, so you can loop the ██▓▓
██▓▓ whole thing, and it goes around and around. ██▓▓
██▓▓ It's a downward spiral. It's very personal. ██▓▓
██▓▓ The making of this album was very complex ██▓▓
██▓▓ and each CD took over a year to record. With ██▓▓
██▓▓ ATR we used to have 8 tracks or less, here I ██▓▓
██▓▓ had up to 120." ██▓▓
██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ "I was born in West-Berlin in 1972. I grew ██▓▓
██▓▓ up in a city with a wall around it, ██▓▓
██▓▓ occupied, a warzone that inspired David ██▓▓
██▓▓ Bowie and Iggy Pop and many others. I was ██▓▓
██▓▓ born into this intense atmosphere. And it is ██▓▓
██▓▓ a part of me, no matter where I go in the ██▓▓
██▓▓ world. Of course I started in punk bands, ██▓▓
██▓▓ then for a while in the early nineties I ██▓▓
██▓▓ made underground techno records, up to 100 ██▓▓
██▓▓ Eps for DJs. This is where I learn how to ██▓▓
██▓▓ produce. I had to have the right ideas very ██▓▓
██▓▓ quickly to survive. We used to make a record ██▓▓
██▓▓ a month, they didn't sell enough to chart, ██▓▓
██▓▓ but we did so many, that we made quite a lot ██▓▓
██▓▓ of cash. Then I started ATR in 1992 and left ██▓▓
██▓▓ the dance scene behind. It was a political ██▓▓
██▓▓ move to fight Germany's upcoming nationalism ██▓▓
██▓▓ that led to the racist attacks in parts of ██▓▓
██▓▓ the country. We soon realised that this was ██▓▓
██▓▓ a European problem. ██▓▓
██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ ATR is 100% about politics, in my own work I ██▓▓
██▓▓ also deal with more personal issues, things ██▓▓
██▓▓ that happened in my life, and so on. Even if ██▓▓
██▓▓ I don't separate that approach from ██▓▓
██▓▓ politics, I had to make that step because I ██▓▓
██▓▓ felt that people might understand my views ██▓▓
██▓▓ better if they know what goes on in my life. ██▓▓
██▓▓ It's exciting, there is a real fresh new ██▓▓
██▓▓ wave of enthusiasm at DHR about this ██▓▓
██▓▓ record." ██▓▓
██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ Digital Hardcore's first releases arrived in ██▓▓
██▓▓ 1994, and within four years the imprint had ██▓▓
██▓▓ secured worldwide distribution, opened ██▓▓
██▓▓ offices in London and New York and set up ██▓▓
██▓▓ subsidiaries for experimental offerings (DHR ██▓▓
██▓▓ Limited), music by people under 20 years old ██▓▓
██▓▓ (LESS THAN 20), Hanin Elias' Digital Riot ██▓▓
██▓▓ Grrrl Label (DHR FATAL) and the revered ██▓▓
██▓▓ progressive electronic music imprint Geist. ██▓▓
██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ Alongside this feverish level of band and ██▓▓
██▓▓ label activity, Empire continued his own ██▓▓
██▓▓ journey through sound. During the early '90s ██▓▓
██▓▓ he released a clutch of EPs and five ██▓▓
██▓▓ full-length albums on the Mille Plateaux ██▓▓
██▓▓ label that showcased his own evolving ██▓▓
██▓▓ sample-based compositions. While ATR were ██▓▓
██▓▓ embraced by fans of progressive and avant ██▓▓
██▓▓ garde rock - from the renowned BBC DJ John ██▓▓
██▓▓ Peel, who was an early champion, to the ██▓▓
██▓▓ Beastie Boys, whose Grand Royal label ██▓▓
██▓▓ released the first ATR records in America - ██▓▓
██▓▓ Empire's solo and remix work built him an ██▓▓
██▓▓ enviable reputation among European ██▓▓
██▓▓ electronic music aficionados and the ██▓▓
██▓▓ American industrial/rock audience. And it's ██▓▓
██▓▓ this duality; this ability to be at ease in ██▓▓
██▓▓ both camps that has led to the creation of ██▓▓
██▓▓ Intelligence and Sacrifice. ██▓▓
██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ "Some people don't know in which "category" ██▓▓
██▓▓ to market my album. It is indeed two albums ██▓▓
██▓▓ combined into one, for the price of one. I ██▓▓
██▓▓ see this as an advantage these days. Times ██▓▓
██▓▓ are changing, the barriers between genres ██▓▓
██▓▓ are fading. This album will reach many ██▓▓
██▓▓ people and I know that one of the two CDs ██▓▓
██▓▓ will introduce something new to them." ██▓▓
██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ "Some people won't know to which audience my ██▓▓
██▓▓ album will appeal, it is indeed two albums ██▓▓
██▓▓ combined into one, for the price of one. I ██▓▓
██▓▓ see this as an advantage these days. Times ██▓▓
██▓▓ are changing, the barriers between genres ██▓▓
██▓▓ are fading. It's quite possible to enjoy ██▓▓
██▓▓ both Nu Metal and experimental electronica. ██▓▓
██▓▓ This album will reach many people and I know ██▓▓
██▓▓ that each of the two CDs will introduce ██▓▓
██▓▓ something new to them. ██▓▓
██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ In many ways, it feels like this is my first ██▓▓
██▓▓ real album." He has a point. This is the ██▓▓
██▓▓ first time the two facets of Empire's ██▓▓
██▓▓ musical output have been put together in the ██▓▓
██▓▓ same place, and, in a world where music as ██▓▓
██▓▓ abrasive as that of Slipknot or Staind can ██▓▓
██▓▓ find itself topping sales charts world wide, ██▓▓
██▓▓ this may not simply be Empire's finest hour, ██▓▓
██▓▓ it will also surely become his most widely ██▓▓
██▓▓ accepted recording to date. Constantly ahead ██▓▓
██▓▓ of his time, Empire may at last have found ██▓▓
██▓▓ that the rest of the world has caught up ██▓▓
██▓▓ with his expansive and extreme form of ██▓▓
██▓▓ creativity. Don't get left behind. ██▓▓
