Reviews & Discussion
Somewhere in deep space, endless width,... all you can get is static noise and variations of the same musical rhythm. Radio noises are interferring the receivers ...but slowly there appears a giant string-sound out of the static, a deep peace took place, until suddenly ( after a few minutes) a nervous hihat-thunder breaks the silence, it becames bigger and mounts in an amazing industrial-breakbeat-attack.
Alec Empire, mastermind of ATR and passionated cyberpunk follows his starwars-nerdism on dis record and upgrades himself as the young Luke Skywalker on the 12"-label.
Here the "Jabba the Hut" Orchestra plays toghether with the tiny beat of a Roland 606. Only with on Akai sampler, the Roland builded SH101, TB303, TR606 and a Boss Pitch Delay effect, Alec Empire creates a strong phuture athmosphere like a film score with no film..
Test the track: Blutrote nacht über Berlin !!! (a musical vision of a drug overload in hong kong)

Now the music is available again on Geist Records with all the Star Wars images completely removed and just a black cover (no more X-Wing cover, droids, stormtroopers, etc...
