I love alec empire.. He's one of my favorite artists.

I recommend:

*Low On Ice (Muffled beats/Ambient)
*Generation Star Wars (Distorted neurofunk dubtech)

Theres lots more out there if you like that stuff.. might
want to check out techno animal if you like alec empire.

there's an ''old alec empire'' and ''new alec empire''
in my opinion old a.e. is much better (his mille plateaux
records old stuff)
now his music has more to punk and noise stuff and it's cool
too.
old stuff is also dirty in very positive way but it has more
to idm than his today's drum'n'bass noise digital hardcore
tracks.
form old stuff i recommend you everything but especially
generation star wars and limited editons (dark and sweet!
dirty ambient)
from newest stuff: destroyer, alec empire vs. elvis presley.

picked it up there.

In my oppinion this wont dissapoint you, if you liked that
record there:

Alec Empire: The destroyer (Jungle beats and samples,
Harsh)
Alec Empire: Intelligence and sacrifice (one dull electronic
cd, and a cd with punk/techno/metal. His voice is at its
most extreme on this record!!! GET IT GET IT GET IT!!!)

Also, you probably know this, but he was in the band "Atari
Teenage Riot". I really like their "60 second wipeout".

Alec empires early electronic music is much different from
the other stuff. But i think that you should find it
interesting. Generation star wars is a good one...

Really hope you get into him, he really helps me get out my
aggresions.
