BRAND NEW EP (VINYL ONLY, AND LIMITED TO 300 ONLY AVAILABLE FOR THE UK) FROM ALEC EMPIRE, ON HIS NEW LABEL "EAT YOUR HEART OUT". A FEW YEARS AGO HE PUT THE SPOTLIGHT ON HIS BIRTHPLACE BERLIN WITH HIS BAND ATARI TEENAGE RIOT, THE REVOLUTIONARY OUTFIT LIKE NO OTHER WHICH MADE CHARGED POLITICAL STATEMENTS AND EVEN STARTED RIOTS. WHILE THE MEDIA FOCUSED ON THE SLOGANS AND THE INSANE LIVE SHOWS, THEY SOMETIMES FORGOT THAT ALEC HAS WORKED WITH AN ASTONISHING VARIETY OF MUSICIANS. INCLUDING THE LIKES OF BJORK, EINSTURZENDE NEUBAUTEN, JON SPENCER, RAMMSTEIN, SLAYER AND MANY MANY MORE... HE TOURED WITH NINE INCH NAILS, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, BECK, MOBY, AND THE LIST GOES ON. HE'S TICKED MOST BOXES ON THE ACHIEVEMENTS LIST... TOURED THE WORLD, RECEIVED A KERRANG AWARD, HAD HIS MUSIC IN BLOCKBUSTER HOLLYWOOD FILMS....FOR THIS NEW EP THE ONLY THING WE CAN SAY IS THAT WHATEVER YOU HAVE HEARD BEFORE OR THINK YOU KNOW ABOUT ALEC, IT'S ONLY A SMALL SECTION OF HIS MUSICAL ARC. IN KEEPING WITH HIS TRANSITORY FASCINATION WITH DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF MUSIC ALEC HAS MOVED TOWARDS A MORE ROCK SOUND FOR THIS MATERIAL
LET'S START WITH THE FACTS: ALEC EMPIRE, IN ADDITION TO BEING AN OUTSTANDING MUSICIAN WHO HAD MADE A UNIQUE CONTRIBUTION TO THE EVOLUTION OF CONTEMPORARY MUSIC, IS ALSO AN EXCEPTIONAL RECORD PRODUCER, REMIXER AND DJ. IN A TIME WHEN OVERHYPED BANDS ARE DROPPING LIKE FLIES BARELY ONE RECORD INTO THEIR CAREERS, ALEC TRAVELS HIS OWN PATH WITH A DETERMINATION AND A SONIC VISION RARELY SEEN AMONGST TODAY?S MUSICIANS.
