No? hmmm yeah not everyone can take on to them, there are a

I saw ATR live once. it was really fucking loud. like
really loud. it was a good show as i remember it. the
opener was EQ8R which is a similar digital hardcore band but
not as good.

To be honest I find it faux hardcore. He's knocking 40 and
shouting teenage angst crap like Trent.

he does not know what hes talking about anyway its hardly
"teenage angst" i think your referring to ATR when they were
all around that age anyway and stood up against neo-nazis
and a whole lot of things that were happening in berlin at
the time, it was also when that shitty hard house bollocks
came about in germany, and they sure told those lot to fuck
off, they created somthing new and origional, obviously
dated now but there still legends. Present Alec empire, hes
music is still rebelious and political, but it is hardly
"teenage angst" as you put it, but then again you would
think that with "JivverDicker" as your display name.

Alec Empire was in his thirties when he did ATR for the
first time. Do you know his album 3 months previous to ATR?
It was a daft hip hop jazz thing that he'd love to imagine
never happend.

he was born in 72 ATR formed in 92, so he was 20. 30's when
they came to an end when there music had developed anyway,
away from punky teenage angst shouting, and he sampled alot
of 60's and 70's funk while early dj'ing which was acctuly
very good, SAMPLED, you made that up about a hip hop album
release, there were no releases before ATR, there was a solo
release in early ATR years "Generation Star Wars", and
obviously ATR releases.

Phew and phew! All I can think about at the moment is my

I agree, hardly hip hop, a pretty lame effort. I wonder why
he felt he needed to do that as ATR was SOO real.

Remain calm lad, well basically after i had replied with
this:

"ohhhhhhhhhhhhh yes, hyper modern jazz, hardly hip hop.

and thats not prior to ATR

thankyou."

you then replied with this:

"Phew and phew! All I can think about at the moment is my
girlfriend and the new little people that are going to be
here in a few months. Two un identical little people are
here soon! It's exciting + I'm shitting it!"

as you could not answer me

some elements of ATR, mostley no though, hardly noise, more
in rythum Drum N' Bass/electro. some of hes tracks are very
thrashy and metal sounding.

Seeing as I don't like 90%+ of his output, 2 of his tracks
are awesome; Addicted to You and The Ride. The Ride is
fucking brilliant and one of the few tracks where he really
belts out his rage without it sounding contrived.
