So, this was off Destroyer? I remember that album being pretty hardcore in comparison to this.

no - "22:24" was the a-side of the Alec Empire 7" in the DHR/Grand Royal series. does it 'scare' anyone else that such harsh and uncompromising music is being played on MTv?! something seems wrong there... and i don't want to get into a whole 'our music'/'their music' debate, but . . . it's Alec Empire f'r crying out loud?!?! the guy who just recorded the album Stockhausen never got around to making (_Les Etoiles Des Files Mortes_ on Mille Plateaux!) not exactly eMpTy-V fodder. ...and the Boo Radleys couldn't even get ARRESTED here in the States! what a weird world.

No it doesn't 'scare' me at all cos Europe MTV plays stuff like that all the time ever since Techno became popular in Europe. And I can't find anything 'wrong' with that. Every music style should be played on MTV. I don't have a prob with watching experimental videos on MTV. Marc

For some reason, Alec has been getting alot of exposure lately. In the last issue of Spin magazine, there was a full page picture of Alec when he was spinning at Other Music. I think it may have to do with the fact he's put out some stuff on Grand Royal(I can hardly wait for his mixes of Lucious Jackson to come out ;) ). ROB
