Glad to see I'm not the only one with as many Alec Empire records as I can
get my hands on (and believe me, I had to spit blood to get them here).
Alec is one of my favourites with as a distinct feel to music as any of the
big guns running around this list being mentioned all the time. So wipe the
jazzy break smile from yer face for an hour or two and GET INTENSE for
that's what Alec is with his cut'n'paste aesthetics or should I say
cut'n'stickinyerface?
I don't say he's HARDER and FASTER and BIGGER and STRONGER, only that's he's
damn good.
God I hate it when I do the fan...
