Thankfully, the whooshing and panning silliness dies down pretty quickly, and a whole bunch of fast, earnest RAWK ensues. The bass and guitar work would fit in pretty well with Alec Empire's more recent hard stuff, and I'm even reminded of the incredible drive behind the track that Tom Morello did with the Prodigy... these really aren't cool musical roots to be displaying, are they?

Not to be nitpicking or something, but Tom Morello did that track with Atari Teenage Riot called "Rage" which Alec Empire was also a member of. And don't feel ashamed of these roots ATR were fun back in the days of '97 when they got hyped in the press. Just too bad Alec personally killed the Digital Hardcore movement ;-)) Marco @ The Noise Commando
