Reviews & Discussion
This is Alec Empire's artistic interpretation of the death of the breakbeat. He has said that the Amen break has been done to death so he used the death of Elvis as a way of expressing this. Throughout the record, I can hear the soundscapes which represent the birth of a star, following up to his peak and leading to his death. Alec has made something truly artistic here and it takes a bit of deep thought to understand.
