Alec Empire - 14-Dec-06 02:44 PM
To say Alec Empire's styles and releases are diverse is a vast understatement. Nevertheless all of his music is infused with so much energy that it sounds and feels more alive than any other artist I know of. Whether it's his aggressive punk roots, his raw, emotional soundscapes or his DIY/underground attitude (like a true rockstar), he makes music that you can physically feel.
From starting a record label that has defined a genre and subculture, to hardcore electro-punk that demands a revolution, to ambience so cold you can see your breath, to tackling new aural terrains every step along the way, each record and production is ground breaking in it's own right.
Some of his stuff isn't for everyone, but there's so many different styles Alec Empire takes on that you can't pigeon hole him. If you listen to one record and don't like it, try another. Sure he may be the godfather of digital hardcore and that will show up with greater frequency in the foreground or background, but jungle, acid, industrial, punk, techno, hip hop, ambient, noise, or even straight up rock 'n roll... he's been there and has done that too.
I can say with certainty that Alec Empire either has the shortest attention span for styles because once he's done them he's bored with it, or he is set to conquer ever genre that he can grasp and make his own. I'm inclined to think it's the latter, but i wouldn't be surprised if it's really a bit of both.
