Review by EBM_Head Nov 23, 2006 (edited over 2 years ago)
About banned CDs:
The Future Of War is banned because they wrote the name of the song P.R.E.S.S. with a double Sig Rune (like the german nazi organisation SS did) in the booklet. Even that this is an antifascist song, the use of symbols of forbidden organisations is strictly forbidden.
Another Cd that is critical in my eyes is 1995. On the CD is a five edged star with a Kalashnikov in it as symbol. This looks very close the symbol of the forbidden left wing terrorist organisation "Rote Arme Fraktion". I realy wonder why nobody has complained yet about this to the goverment or the BPJM.

Appart from this I think they where unique, controversal and radical as only early Industrial bands like Throbbing Gristle, S.P.K., Monte Cazzaza or NON have been. I hope this band will be resurected one day.

What did you say? ATARI TEENAGE RIOT!!!
:) Probably the best Digital Hardcore act ever... mixing styles like Hardcore-Gabber, Noise, Trash Metal and Breakbeat, they became the largest symbol for revotionary style Digital Hardcore... and even Alec Empire alone does not overhelm their name. Carl Crack died, and seems the band has died too... I still have hope they ressurect, but that does not seem likely...
The music? Loud, very agrresive, dark, revolutionary... altough some of the lyrics have bad english and some apparent contraditions, the message is there... and despite all, one must seen the courage how this 4 shout out their ideials... electronic music made not only for experts or classy pseudo intelectuals, but for pure action. Yet, in albuns like future of war and Live at Brixton academy (pure noisecore/noise), one must clearly see some good skills in music making (always with that lo-fi tone) and of course... the innovation that marked this band. If you don't know them... well, grab Future of War.. it was banned in Germany (yes, like in censorship ban!) for it's political message (anarchy of course), but better than that, for me, it's one of their best albuns, and a mark in the Digital Hardcore/Gabber scene. Hardcore to the bone, but very very good...
For those more into abstract stuff, Live at Brixton Academy is a must... embrace noise... :)
