This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
Atari Teenage Riot mastermind Alec Empire strikes back with another sonic onslaught of his signature sound Digital Hardcore — pummeling breakbeats, punk-rock fury and anarchist politics all jackhammered together into a synthetic apocalypse that turns music into a contact sport and makes Marilyn Manson sound like Hanson.
If it seems extreme, well, it’s supposed to be — for Empire, art is about confrontation, not relaxation. You say you want a revolution? So does Empire — RIGHT NOW! And he’s going to keep screaming until he gets his way. Whether ATR’s sound amounts to revolution, evolution or devolution is beyond me; I only know it’s as nasty as he wants it to be.
