The Golden Foretaste of Heaven

VINYL FORMAT. Import! German version comes with a bonus track. "It's been a long time now since Atari Teenage Riot tore up venues across Europe with their uncompromising mixture of breakbeat, cavernous guitar riffs and heavy-duty techno but Alec Empire has clearly lost absolutely none of his rancor and bite. The Golden Foretaste of Heaven snarls with a turbo fuelled tautness that shows up other electro dabblers to be, well, really rather fey compared to the high tar content bite of this album. This is an album that, despite its cacophony of buzz-saw feedback and howling distortion is much more accessible than much of Empire's previous work. This is the sound of a Berlin full of fluorescent strip lights, dawn speed rides around forlorn estates and a constant mazy search through oil drums and factory detritus towards a pulsing dance beat that never quite goes AWOL." – BBC
