If you like the generation star wars then you'll love his Alec Empire: Limited Editions 1990-94 CD on Mille Plateaux. It very similar to Generation Star Wars but maybe a little less harsh. Or for a more subtle Alec Empire sound try his Low On Ice CD. It more of a trippy ambient idmish release. -->-Lance--- p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states
