Finally -. "Futurist", the new album of the Digital Hardcore God and a real surprise that so shock some die-hard fans and disappoint bitter could because Alec 2005 Rock'n'Roll in its purest form instead of the typical distorted, hyped and sounds.. breakbeats expect a real guitars and real drums. The electronic sounds are gone not quite lost, but they are clearly receded into the background. Who knows earlier works of Alec Empire, is hard to believe that this is here in fact his new record at the first preview. And added, the sound is very used to. Those who do not put the CD equal disappointment aside and gives her a chance, which discloses a dozen gigantic tracks that rock and punk and digital hardcore are that sound absolutely not for Alec and yet 100% after him. For those who want to know more. Take a typical Alec Empire Song of the last plate "Intelligence and Sacrifice" and play it by using distorted guitars and a drummer Nic Endo joined to and controls sometimes very restrained, partly absolutely offensive electronic a pinch distortion scattered sounds, bass and beats it. about it and the whole missed a slightly dusty sound. And Alec shoutet in the usual manner through the song. Yes, sort of sounds "Futurist". I hear the drive just for a second time, but it has me now totally under her spell.
