I like this LP very much myself. "The Destroyer" didn't to much for me, but "Generation Star Wars" has some lovely string/orchestral pad shit that really hits the spot for me. Wicked gothic chords especially on the first and third tracks. I saw this documentary a bit ago on this Austrian serial killer and the LP music immediately came to mind, dunno why. So if I ever make a movie, I'll kindly ask Mr. Empire for his beautiful harmonies and fit them to frames of this Austrian freak doing his bloody work... GD
