Dinosaur Jr.

Beyond + 17 albums free download

A straight shot west out of Boston on I-90 will carry you, in two hours or less, to Western Massachusetts, where the country still looks like it did twenty or even 40 years ago: college towns, I-91 tracing the same lazy ladder from Springfield up through Holyoke and Northampton, Amherst and Deerfield. Out there it's taken for granted that the houses will be drafty, the winters uniformly long, and that, on any given trip to the local supermarket, one might spot Thurston or Lou or Kim or J, on-and-off locals for more than twenty years. {audio}http://www.archive.org/download/DinosaurJrDrawings/07Drawerings_64kb.mp3{/audio} ...

Animal Collective

Album: Fall Be Kind + 9 albums free download

By way of decrying a society that left its citizens unbearably restrained, Edith Wharton describes how in New York in the 1870s, women would order dresses from their Paris dressmakers and then leave them in tissue paper at least two years before wearing them in public; the thought of showing them "in advance of the fashion" was unforgivably vulgar. Social life has changed, but cultural life seems just as restricted now – even Animal Collective are held back by trends that seem a couple of years old (and that they helped to invent). When I think back on 2009, I’ll first remember how our impoverished aesthetic generation repeatedly scraped the resin from the cultural trash barrel. Every second person is wearing neon leggings, and the ones who aren’t rock a ‘70s aesthetic, with high-waisted jeans and moccasins. Christmas sweaters are getting impossible to find at the thrift store. Ska revival. Garage rock revival. It never ends. Read More ...

Guapo

Elixirs

For just over 10 years, London's Guapo has been working in the world of avant and progressive rock. The band's past is a bit hard to track with its numerous lineup changes and guest musicians. The most recent change in roster was the resignation of Matthew Thompson, the founding member of Guapo, which occurred just before the release of 2005's Black Oni. The departure of Thompson has left Guapo with percussionist David Smith and multi-instrumentalist Daniel O'Sullivan. Though O'Sullivan is by no means a founding member of the band, but he was essential in honing the sound on Guapo's last two LPs: Five Suns and Black Oni. These two albums have been pivotal in building Guapo's following of fans, so it's hard not to credit O'Sullivan as an asset to the band.... {audio}http://www.neurotrecordings.com/artists/guapo/audio/Guapo-The%20Selenotrope.mp3 {/audio} ...

Basic Atari Teenage Riot iPhone app philosophy by Alec Empire + London gig+ 4CD, 1DVD free download

The free iPhone app features all ATR albums and songs, all videos, a photo archive, bio, news updates and also a ‘Riotsounds Produce Riots’ audioplayer. This audio player includes all the sounds/WAV files that ATR used at the May 1st 1999 demonstration (very low sub basses, square waves, noise sounds which trigger hysteria and panic within the audience) & would make them available to every political activisit out there. The idea being that you can hook up your iPhone to a speaker system if there is a rally: Apple/iTunes is arguing that they still need to investigate further, because it is legally a grey area and ATR has been indexed in Germany before (censored).

The ex

The Ex

Album: Singles. Period

The Ex are one of those rare bands that, despite being around for 25 years, have neither gone soft nor stagnated. The 23 tracks on this album all date from their first decade of existence (1980-1990), and if you compare it with recent milestones like Starter Alternator and Turn, you’ll see that while many of the Ex’s virtues are long standing, much has changed. The Ex grew out of Amsterdam’s once-fertile squatters’ subculture, and have always been politically conscious; Singles. Period. includes screeds that oppose American cultural hegemony, Dutch apathy, and eugenics. Their most recent album Turn likewise includes protests against globalization, consumerism, and cultural erosion, but its lyrics are quite nuanced and in touch with the grey areas of the issues when compared with the black and white prescription of 1981’s “Weapons For El Salvador”: ..............

Dirty HC Punk explosion - Bristol scene Rise up + Disorder 9 free CDs

From The Cortinas to Lunatic Fringe and Disorder, Bristol had a huge Punk scene that has influenced, affected and stimulated a vast range of artists that operate in the city. Many of these artists produce music that wouldn’t necessarily suggest a Punk heritage but scratch beneath the surface of a lot of the major players in the Bristol milieu and you will find a fondness for the times of `spikey barnets’, limited musical ability, a `F*** You’ attitude and disrespect for the music industry and its poseur hierarchy.

Bastro

Album: Antlers + 4 albums download

A live album can be many things: a candid snapshot, a footnote to a scene, or even just a thrifty alternative to studio time. Antlers, a collection of live Bastro recordings from 1991, is the rarest kind of live album: it illuminates a side of the band that, in turn, casts their previous work in a new light as well.“1991 has been called the year that punk broke. Some of it broke into the mainstream, but some broke into more irregular shards.” David Grubbs’s observation, from the liner notes to Antlers, could also describe the varied musical paths that led from his former band Squirrel Bait to the disparate ’90s groups he and his ex-bandmates went on to found: Slint, Palace Brothers, King Kong, Bitch Magnet, the For Carnation, Tortoise, and of course, Bastro.

Japan’s Annual Penis Festival – Celebrates Fertility

KOMAKI, Japan — It's springtime in Japan and that means one thing. Actually, two things. Penis festivals and vagina festivals. It may sound like a sophomoric gag. But these are folk rites going back at least 1,500 years, into Japan's agricultural past. They're held to ensure a good harvest and promote baby-making. Maybe they should hold more such festivals. Japan has one of the world's lowest birthrates (1.37 children per woman), which experts blame on stagnant incomes and changing gender relations. Read More ...

Rarest Fishes in the World

Aquatic Lifeforms You Never Caught While Fishing:

Black-lip Rattail ............ These sorts of rattails feed in the muddy seafloor by gliding along head down and tail up, powered by gentle undulations of a long fin under the tail.

Our Digitally Undying Memories

"I forgot to remember to forget," Elvis Presley sang in 1955. I know that it was 1955 because I just Googled the title and clicked on the link to the Wikipedia entry for the song. How cool is that? Not long ago, I would have had to actually remember that Elvis recorded the song as part of his monumental Sun Records sessions that year. Then I would have had to flip through a set of histories of blues and country that sit on the shelf behind me. It might have taken five minutes to do what I did in five seconds. I almost don't need my own memory any more. That strikes many of us as a good thing: the costs low, the benefits high. We can be much more efficient and comprehensive now that a teeming collection of documents sits just a few keystrokes away. Read More ...

The following material comes from people who know the Dulce (underground) base exists. They are people who worked in the labs; abductees taken to the base; people who assisted in the construction; intelligence personal (NSA,CIA,FBI ... ect.) and UFO / inner-earth researchers. This information is meant for those who are seriously interested in the dulce base. for your own protection be advised to “use caution” while investigating this complex.Does a strange world exist beneath our feet? Strange legends have persisted for centuries about the mysterious cavern world and the equally strange beings who inhabit it. More UFOlogists have considered the possibility that UFOs may be emanating from subterranean bases, that UFO aliens have constructed these bases to carry out various missions involving Earth or humans.

5 Ridiculous Economic Collapses

These days, with all the pundits preaching doom and the impending collapse of society into some kind of Mad Max style wasteland, it's easy for us to imagine that the economy is as unhealthy as it's ever been.

History is full of economic idiocy, and here are five economic collapses that make 2010 feel like the Renaissance. Read More ...

Island of Ghosts: Hashima Island - Japan’s rotting metropolis

Hashima, an island located in Nagasaki Bay, is better known as Warship Island (Gunkanshima). The island was inhabited until the end of the 19th century, when it was discovered that the ground below it held tons of coal. The island soon became a center of a major mining complex owned by Mitsubishi Corporation. As the complex expanded, rock brought out of the shafts was used to artificially expand the island. Seawalls created in this expansion turned Hashima into the monstrous looking Gunkanshima; its artificial appearance makes it looks more like a battleship than an island. Read More ...

Dreamachine - stroboscopic flicker device enter you to a hypnagogic state - try it right here in your browser

The dreamachine (or dream machine) is a stroboscopic flicker device that produces visual stimuli. Artist Brion Gysin and William Burroughs's "systems adviser" Ian Sommerville created the dreamachine after reading William Grey Walter's book, The Living Brain. In its original form, a dreamachine is made from a cylinder with slits cut in the sides. The cylinder is placed on a record turntable and rotated at 78 or 45 revolutions per minute. A light bulb is suspended in the center of the cylinder and the rotation speed allows the light to come out from the holes at a constant frequency of between 8 and 13 pulses per second. This frequency range corresponds to alpha waves, electrical oscillations normally present in the human brain while relaxing. Read More ...

The Peyote Way Church of God - believe that the Holy Sacrament Peyote can lead an individual toward a more spiritual life

The Peyote Way Church of God is a non-sectarian, multicultural, experiential, Peyotist organization located in southeastern Arizona, in the remote Aravaipa wilderness. It is not affiliated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, the Native American Church, or any other religious organizations, though we do accept people from all faiths. Church membership is open to all races. We encourage individuals to create their own rituals as they become acquainted with the great mystery. We believe that the Holy Sacrament Peyote, when taken according to our sacramental procedure and combined with a holistic lifestyle (see Word of Wisdom), can lead an individual toward a more spiritual life. Peyote is currently listed as a controlled substance and its religious use is protected by Federal law only for Native American members of the Native American Church. Read More ...

The Marijuana Conspiracy - The Real Reason Hemp is Illegal

MARIJUANA is DANGEROUS. Pot is NOT harmful to the human body or mind. Marijuana does NOT pose a threat to the general public. Marijuana is very much a danger to the oil companies, alcohol, tobacco industries and a large number of chemical corporations. Various big businesses, with plenty of dollars and influence, have suppressed the truth from the people. The truth is if marijuana was utilized for its vast array of commercial products, it would create an industrial atomic bomb! Entrepreneurs have not been educated on the product potential of pot.

Learn How to Pronounce the Iceland Volcano Eyjafjallajokull and remember; When He Erupted In 1821, it lasted 2 years

The last time Eyjafjallajökull erupted, it lasted 2 years stretching from 1821-1823. It also erupted in 920 and 1612. Eyjafjallajökull's eruption usually precedes an eruption for another Icelandic volcano called Katla, as it did in 1823. Katla's eruptions are usually more violent than Eyjafjallajökul's. Due to the second activity on Eyjafjallajökull volcano since April 14, there are thousands of flights have been cancelled not only in Europe but also some flights from Asia, America and other continents. More over, it was also reportedly more than ten thousands of air travelers still stranded after a plume of ash cloud spreading across thousands of miles. No need to repeat the same news in every single post, actually there’s an interesting thing from the Iceland volcano’s name Eyjafjallajokull. Pronunciation is so difficult for some of us. Even, many people still don’t know what’s the right pronunciation of Eyjafjallajokull volcano. Did you know that? Read More ...

The Drivers Of Tropical Deforestation Are Changing

A shift from poverty-driven to industry-driven deforestation threatens the world's tropical forests but offers new opportunities for conservation, according to an article coauthored by William Laurance of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama. "New Strategies for Conserving Tropical Forests" will be featured in the September issue of the leading journal Trends in Ecology and Evolution. Rhett Butler of Mongabay.com, a leading tropical-forest Web site, and Laurance argue that the sharp increase in deforestation by big corporations provides environmental lobby groups with clear, identifiable targets that can be pressured to be more responsive to environmental concerns.

Gobekli Tepe: The World’s First Temple

A temple complex in Turkey that predates even the pyramids is rewriting the story of human evolution. They call it potbelly hill, after the soft, round contour of this final lookout in southeastern Turkey. To the north are forested mountains. East of the hill lies the biblical plain of Harran, and to the south is the Syrian border, visible 20 miles away, pointing toward the ancient lands of Mesopotamia and the Fertile Crescent, the region that gave rise to human civilization. And under our feet, according to archeologist Klaus Schmidt, are the stones that mark the spot—the exact spot—where humans began that ascent. Read More ...

The CIA and the Nazis - Declassified archives document ties between CIA and Nazis - Where Is Hitler?!

The US national archives released some 27,000 pages of secret records documenting the CIA’s Cold War relations with former German Nazi Party members and officials. The files reveal numerous cases of German Nazis, some clearly guilty of war crimes, receiving funds, weapons and employment from the CIA. They also demonstrate that US intelligence agencies deliberately refrained from disclosing information about the whereabouts of Adolf Eichmann in order to protect Washington’s allies in the post-war West German government headed by Christian Democratic leader Konrad Adenauer. Eichmann, who had sent millions to their deaths while coordinating the Nazis’ “final solution” campaign to exterminate European Jewry, went into hiding in Buenos Aires after the fall of the Third Reich.

Toxic Waste Behind Somali Pirates

The international community has come out in force to condemn and declare war on the Somali fishermen pirates, while discreetly protecting the illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fleets from around the world that have been poaching and dumping toxic waste in Somali waters since the fall of the Somali government eighteen years ago. In 1991, when the government of Somalia collapsed, foreign interests seized the opportunity to begin looting the country’s food supply and using the country’s unguarded waters as a dumping ground for nuclear and other toxic waste.

Squatting - How to Squat in Abandoned Property

Squatting consists of occupying an abandoned or unoccupied space or building, usually residential, that the squatter does not own, rent or otherwise have permission to use. There are one billion squatters globally, that is, about one in every six people on the planet. Yet, according to Kesia Reeve, "squatting is largely absent from policy and academic debate and is rarely conceptualized, as a problem, as a symptom, or as a social or housing movement. In many countries, squatting is in itself a crime; in others, it is only seen as a civil conflict between the owner and the occupants. "Squatters are usually portrayed as worthless scroungers hell-bent on disrupting society." Property law and the state have traditionally favored the property owner. However, in many cases where squatters had de facto ownership, laws have been changed to legitimize their status. Read More ...

The World's First Commercial Brain-Computer Interface + history of BCI

A brain–computer interface (BCI), sometimes called a direct neural interface or a brain–machine interface, is a direct communication pathway between a brain and an external device. BCIs are often aimed at assisting, augmenting or repairing human cognitive or sensory-motor functions. Research on BCIs began in the 1970s at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) under a grant from the National Science Foundation, followed by a contract from DARPA. The papers published after this research also mark the first appearance of the expression brain–computer interface in scientific literature. Read More ...

Seven theories of everything that pretend to describe the fundamental nature of the universe

We still don't have a theory that describes the fundamental nature of the universe, but there are plenty of candidates.

The "theory of everything" is one of the most cherished dreams of science. If it is ever discovered, it will describe the workings of the universe at the most fundamental level and thus encompass our entire understanding of nature. It would also answer such enduring puzzles as what dark matter is, the reason time flows in only one direction and how gravity works. Small wonder that Stephen Hawking famously said that such a theory would be "the ultimate triumph of human reason – for then we should know the mind of God". But theologians needn't lose too much sleep just yet. Despite decades of effort, progress has been slow. Rather than one or two rival theories whose merits can be judged against the evidence, there is a profusion of candidates and precious few clues as to which (if any) might turn out to be correct.

The Secrets of Coral Castle and pyramids EXPLAINED by Leedskalnin's Magnetic Current theory

Coral Castle doesn't look much like a castle, but that hasn't discouraged generations of tourists from wanting to see it. That's because it was built by one man, Ed Leedskalnin, a Latvian immigrant who single-handedly and mysteriously excavated, carved, and erected over 2.2 million pounds of coral rock to build this place, even though he stood only five feet tall and weighed a mere 100 pounds. Ed was as secretive as he was misguided. He never told anyone how he carved and set into place the walls, gates, monoliths, and moon crescents that make up much of his Castle. Some of these blocks weigh as much as 30 tons. Ed often worked at night, by lantern light, so that no one could see him. He used only tools that he fashioned himself from wrecks in an auto junkyard.

It hopes to investigate the phenomenon of "neutrino oscillations" by looking for "muon neutrinos" oscillating into "electron neutrinos". A million pound detector has been built at the University of Warwick as part of a vital experiment to investigate fundamental particles - neutrinos. Read More ...

Meet ALICE - new CERNs giant detector

The giant ALICE detector is already underway at CERN, and researchers are scrambling to add an electromagnetic calorimeter to capture jet-quenching, the newest way to look inside the quark-gluon plasma — the hot, dense state of matter that filled the earliest universe, which the Large Hadron Collider will soon recreate by slamming lead nuclei into one another. CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is known mainly as the accelerator that will soon begin searching for the Higgs particle, and other new physics, in proton collisions at unprecedented energies — up to 14 TeV (14 trillion electron volts) at the center of mass — and with unprecedented beam intensities. But the same machine will also collide massive nuclei, specifically lead ions, to energies never achieved before in the laboratory. Read More ...

According to the article, some American and British scientists working in Antarctica on January 27, 1995, noticed a spinning gray fog in the sky over the pole. U. S. physicist Mariann McLein said at first they believed it to be some kind of sandstorm. But after a while they noticed that the fog did not change its form and did not move so they decided to investigate. Read More ...

Study: Happiness Is Experiences, Not Stuff

If you're trying to buy happiness, you'd be better off putting your money toward a tropical island get-away than a new computer, a new study suggests. The results show that people's satisfaction with their life-experience purchases — anything from seeing a movie to going on a vacation — tends to start out high and go up over time. On the other hand, although they might be initially happy with that shiny new iPhone or the latest in fashion, their satisfaction with these items wanes with time. The findings, based on eight separate studies, agree with previous research showing that experience-related buys lead to more happiness for the consumer. But the current work provides some insight into why. Read More ...

Faster Than Light - Was Einstein wrong?

It's not just a good idea, it's the law: 186,287 miles per second. The fact that sound waves travel at a finite speed--roughly 330 meters per second--has been known since ancient times. It's obvious, really, when you stand back a ways and observe the falling of a tree or the clapping of a pair of hands, and the sound arrives noticeably later than the sight itself. The fact that light waves also travel at finite speed is much harder to notice, because that speed is almost a million times faster. But by the end of the Renaissance, astronomers--viewing events much more distant than a few hundred meters--had begun to suspect the truth. Read More ...

UFO's of Nazi Germany

Viktor Schauberger & UFO's of Nazi Germany

It was nearly the end of WWII. At that same time, scientist Viktor Schauberger worked on a secret project. Johannes Kepler, whose ideas Schauberger followed, had knowledge of the secret teachings of Pythagoras that had been adopted and kept secret. It was the knowledge of Implosion (in this case the utilization of the potential of the inner worlds in the outer world). Hitler knew - as did the Thule and Vril people - that the divine principle was always constructive. A technology however that is based on explosion and therefore is destructive runs against the divine principle. Thus they wanted to create a technology based on Implosion. Read More ...

The Size Of Our World or How Insignificant the Earth Really Is in the Universe

Compared to you and me, the Earth is really big. But compared to Jupiter and the Sun, the Earth is pretty tiny. There are many ways we can measure the size of the Earth. Let's look at how big the Earth is, and then compare it to other objects in the Solar System. The diameter of the Earth is 12,742 km. In other words, if you dug a hole down into the Earth, passed through the center of the Earth, and came out the other side, you would have dug a hole 12,742 km deep (on average). That's about 4 times longer than the diameter of the Moon. Read More ...

Mysterious Radio Waves from Unknown Object in M82 Galaxy

There is something strange is lurking in the galactic neighborhood. An unknown object in galaxy M82 12 million light-years away has started sending out radio waves, and the emission does not look like anything seen anywhere in the universe before except perhaps by Ford Prefect. M82 is starburst galaxy five times as bright as the Milky Way and one hundred times as bright as our galaxy's center. "We don't know what it is," says co-discoverer Tom Muxlow of Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics near Macclesfield, UK. But its apparent sideways velocity is four times the speed of light. This "superluminal" motion occurs usually in high-speed jets of material bursting out by black holes. Read More ...

Unsettled Mechanism of Supernova Detonation Gets a New Twist

Type Ia supernovae, often used to calibrate cosmological measurements, may arise from merging white dwarfs, after all

When stellar cataclysms known as type Ia supernovae flare up far across the universe, their brightness and consistency allow astronomers to use them as so-called standard candles to measure cosmological distances. Just over a decade ago, two teams used the supernovae to show that the universe is accelerating in its expansion due to the influence of dark energy, a shocking discovery that thrust type Ia supernovae into the astrophysical limelight. But how exactly did these cosmic mileposts come to be? Read More ...

Black Prince, alien space probe, orbits Earth watching humans

The plane, built by Boeing, was originally part of a NASA programme but was later abandoned and turned over to a secretive USAF unit. There are no details on how much it costs or when it is coming back to earth, but when it does return the unmanned craft will land itself, using the onboard autopilot. Read More ...

Basic Atari Teenage Riot iPhone app philosophy by Alec Empire + London gig+ 4CD, 1DVD free download

The delay in releasing the App will mean it’s not available ahead of May 1st when Berlin police are expecting the biggest riots since the nineties. ATR are waiting to find out if it is allowed a release at all. Alec Empire is set to appear in a documentary film for the German/French TV station ARTE about music & sound being used to torture prisoners. Alec will be interviewing soldiers who were in Iraq, prisoners from Guantanamo Bay & others involved, he was chosen for his knowledge of the matter, which may be one of the reasons why Apple is so concerned. Recently reunited German electro-punk spazzes Atari Teenage Riot are still causing controversy. ATR's iPhone app has been delayed by the German iTunes store due to a dispute over its content. The free app is set to feature every ATR album, song, and video, as well as photos, news updates, and more. But it also included something called "Riotsounds Produce Riots", an audio player that features sounds that ATR used at a May Day protest in 1999, at which the band members were arrested.

Responding to inquiries about the app's status, ATR mastermind Alec Empire writes, "Today's status is that the ATR iPhone will be released within the next ten days. The Riotsounds player might be added later with an update. It's a legal loophole. So not sure yet what the outcome will be. But the free app which includes all ATR songs and videos plus a lot of extras will still be pretty awesome, even if the Riotsounds player is not included in this version. ATR plans regular updates for the app including free bonus tracks, unreleased songs, outtakes and more."

Basic ATR philosophy (riot sounds produce riots) by Alec Empire

Riot sound effects can produce riots ! Play them in a riot situation and the police will come you'll see... Cuts on the ghettoblaster can be used as a weapon ! The kids are united and they will never be divided... FIGHT!

Atari Teenage Riot, 1995 Berlin

Atari Teenage Riot. I think that in general young people will make the change. They have the energy to just say: Fuck it! Let's do everything new! Because they are not too deeply involved in it yet. You can still have the same approach to things when you're older. But that's very rare. We don't speak for anyone but us. We shout at everyone what we feel and think and people can agree or not...I reject power and family structures. I am not some kind of father figure for the DHR scene. When they wanted me to be I destroyed my position (I made a record on Mille Plateaux or started a guitar band or whatever... I destroyed the image of me that others had created). The majority of the youth does not have any vision, not any idea of the future or change. Boredom has led to fascism not hate. Nationalism must die! Capitalism must die! This system must be destroyed.

It has become a fake democracy where the major industries/corporations have more control than people have. This society maximises money for a minority. This society feels like a prison to us. Christian morals have destroyed a lot of freedom. We could just sit back and wait until the system implodes. But we can't wait - we are too young! It is the structure that's wrong not some persons/politicians in certain positions ...Small political changes will always be changed back - this is no solution! It just slows down the process.

ATARI TEENAGE RIOT is here to destroy this fake harmony that is simulated by the media and the entertainment industry! This system produces racism. It makes a lot of sense for the government that it exists. It's easy to sell. Even the music scene is reflecting this too.

ATARI TEENAGE RIOT and DIGITAL HARDCORE is our reaction to all that. Fight the system, the power and you will succeed over racism one day... My grandfather died in a concentration camp during World War Two. He was not Jewish. The Nazis killed him because he was socialist. Do you think he would have survived in the 50's in the U.S.? My life must be resistance!

It's down to us: Do not vote! Let's start riots ! Set police cars on fire! Celebrate girls! Respect terrorists! Smash TV sets! Destroy all prisons! Destroy Christian morals! Sex! More Graffiti! Promote drugs and Foucault! Get alive!!!!!!!!!! What are you waiting for? It just takes a few seconds... DO IT ...Let's just change the world!

If you are cynical about it you're right wing! The industry always tries to turn every youth movement into a joke. We are sick of this! Riot sounds produce riots!

I am not thinking about replacing this system with just something else. I think there are two possible developments; anarchy or fascism (a controlled society that may be even worse than fascism! That's the direction where I see it going now...). The state uses violence against us all the time. You can't change anything if you don't have enough money. So fuck it! A riot creates an energy that can change or destroy this system. Damaging public institutions and places cost the state money that helps the system to implode! A riot is sexier than fake peace. And it is not easily controllable. Of course "riot" is a symbol for something that happens in people's heads before all that. In general our aim is to live an anti-fascist life, a society without any power structures! No family structure! Like a mob! No hierarchy anymore! Anarchy...

Gudrun Ensslin of the terrorist organisation RAF once said: "Everything is political! Even when I have sex!" That is so right! There is no "I'm not really political...!" If you just want to consume blind happiness - That is very political! There is no in between! The entertainment industry (radio, TV, etc.) has only one function: To keep everyone/everything quiet. They just produce boredom! Digital Hardcore is here to destroy this fake harmony! Because it's a lie! Noise is the key - life is full of noise - only death is quiet! That's why noise is banned from radio, TV, supermarkets, etc.. The mid. frequencies produce the adrenaline in your body. When people are excited, angry, full of emotions etc. they make a lot of noise! A good example for that can be live recordings. We take elements of styles of music that had at a certain moment in time what we call "a revolutionary energy". The technology gives us the opportunity to reproduce these moments.

Riot sounds produce riots! Digital Hardcore is functional music not pop music. Fuel for the fire... Music produces emotions. When you feel something you understand it. You don't even need to verbalise it...For this fact music has a lot of power. More than most people think! That's why it's used everywhere... Mostly as a tranquilliser and to escape reality!

My motivation to compose or produce music is always political. ATARI TEENAGE RIOT and my solo stuff on DHR like THE DESTROYER have only one function: riot sounds produce riots! (My Mille Plateaux records have the same intention but are different. e.g.. HYPERMODERN JAZZ 2000.5 and LES ETOILES... I went back to a certain point where I think that this certain style of music (Free Jazz, Bebop, and Musique Concrete etc.) had a moment where it had produced what I call a revolutionary energy. I developed it from there into our time. Because it was not it's "real" development the music gets a surreal effect. HYPERMODERN JAZZ 2000.5 is like a construction of a Jazz deconstruction - it's like a zombie or so - it's like smashing a glass into a thousand pieces and then sticking it back together. You can perhaps drink out of it but you will see that it was smashed and you taste very small pieces of glass cutting your throat.

Sometimes if one is screamed at all the time one closes ears very quickly. I am aware of that.)

Delete yourself! Delete Yourself! means delete/erase your official personal information. Become illegal! At the moment I am not officially resident in any country which makes it difficult for the police. (Last year the high court in Germany "Staatsanwaltschaft" tried to sue us and a Berlin TV station which broadcasted an interview with us. It was "anti-democratic" and "instigating violence" etc. They couldn't get us so they just started to take the TV station to court but nothing happened.

When it comes to "the freedom of speech" they just take the right to judge and suddenly this democracy is worth nothing...) The government/police will use more and more technology to keep people under control (They even don't hide the fact in cities like Singapore etc.).

But you are right "Delete Yourself! You got no chance to win!" is also directed at the enemies (people who support or develop ideas like that). They should just die...I have no respect or whatever for them.

A revolution always includes the destruction of something old and outdated. The Christians brainwashed everyone with ideas that simply say that you should be thankful for your life and you should accept everything (god who chooses leaders, justifies wars etc. etc.). People fear death. Consequently they wouldn't risk their own life for a change! They prefer waiting for death and maybe getting something better (heaven) after death if they behaved and passed the test. Suicide is not allowed because it is denial of the final human means of liberation.

The Projection Since the reunification, Germany has become even more conservative and right wing. The German government produces racism by pushing certain laws, (emigration laws etc.). There is this new upcoming nationalism again. Since 1993 the neo-nazi movement has grown about four times bigger than it was. The media ignores the situation because they are a part of it and because it doesn't sell anymore. The unemployment rate is the highest in German history etc. etc....Our track "Deutschland has gotta die!" is an anti-nationalist statement. It could refer to the Americans as well! The Germans are people who are just ass kissing or killing people with smiles on their faces. And they are not the only ones..

equipment - fuck the shit up!

Who was first ? The equipment or us? And is all this a well thought through marketing campaign manipulated by the international third eye future nazi corporation of Digital Sound Sources Direct?

Yeah, yeah..."Just look at the one dollar note. They are out there. 23 23. They are controlling me!!!" Fuck that! Everyone knows that conspiracy theories are the new religion of the stupid!!!!!!!!!

I do not think that movements like hip-hop, digital hardcore, techno etc would not exist without a certain piece of gear. Of course the sounds of these genres would be different without certain equipment and it is not really possible to imagine how old-school rap would have sounded without a TR-808 or so. But I am sure people would have found other ways of creating stuff. In capitalism there is a constant feedback between industry and consumer. It's wrong to ask the question like that!

It should be. Would companies like ROLAND still exist without these genres? Or why make certain pieces of gear so that a whole generation becomes cynical about their own visions? (Like a $20 U.S. "Rapman" that you can buy at every Shell petrol station...) The need to fight the boredom around you is not a result of major industry! The best example is Techno. The analogue drum-machines and synthesisers were not really build for that genre (because it didn't exist like that before). First the equipment got very cheap. When Techno was alive and moving you couldn't get the stuff anymore. People started to sell them second hand for very expensive prices. Then when Techno was already dead (because it made too many compromises to the mainstream and couldn't move on anymore) the industry came up with this pseudo-do-it-yourself campaign (e.g. MC 303, etc. etc.). I felt like they took a part of me away and tried to sell it to the pigs. They always reduce a thousand plateaux to one, to one that seems easy to control. But then some kids come, piss over it and smash it into a thousand again...When we were mods we used to say: It's not about the machine - It's the person who drives it!

Fairly cheap equipment you could use to start digital hardcore with :
Yamaha SU-10 Sampler (used by ATR, EC8OR, SHIZUO, etc.)
Roland MS-1 (used by ALEC EMPIRE)
Amiga 440 + "tracker" program (used by EC8OR)

Atari Teenage Riot, Electric Ballroom

When Atari Teenage Riot last played London in 1999, it was at Brixton Academy and it was supporting Nine Inch Nails, MC Carl Crack was had too many drugs to make it on stage and female vocalist Hanin Elias had just walked out of the band, Alec Empire and Nic Endo still took the stage playing a set of harsh white noise, shortly afterwards the band split up. Bring time forward to 2010, and the band have reunited for a string of dates (including this single London show) and a new single, and if we are lucky a lot more.

The band opened the set with new single Activate, within seconds they bring their unbelievable force of energy to the venue, while the crowd goes insane; the track is a perfect opener and sounds great with such an enthusiastic crowd, the atmosphere and energy during this song showed us from the start just how special this gig was going to be. The band power through the whole set without pausing, keeping the energy high, the show was very intense with both the band and the crowd not stopping, the band played favourites such as Into The Death, Destroy 2000 Years of Culture, Midijunkies, Get Up While You Can and Too Dead For Me each song being adrenaline filled, half the crowd moshing, the other half with their fists in the air, energy being high throughout, all three band members don’t give up, keeping the beats pounding during the whole set.

The new member, the relatively unknown CX Kidtronik proved he was worthy of the group while Nic Endo showed us that she can deliver the main vocals just as good as Hanin Elias could, but the stage was ruled by group founder Alec Empire who was on a whole new level that evening – showing even more power that he does at his solo shows, he is in his prime playing Atari Teenage Riot songs.

The energy of the band never calmed through the whole set, the encore included the best songs of the night, songs that are really suited to a live show, such as Speed, Not Your Business, Revolution Action and final song Start The Riot all of which showed the crowd going even more mental than they were already throughout the whole set. The final song Start the Riot ended with a 5 minute jam of noise between the band members, really showing the intensity of the music, combined with the strobe lighting, it was a mind grain of music. This was louder than your average gig. After not stopping and talking to the audience for the whole set when the noise finally ended, Alec Empire addressed the crowd, he told the story of the last Atari Teenage Riot gig in London, he said that they always felt they needed to make it up to London for that gig, it has taken ten years, but this was that gig, and it was truly special, now we must hope that the band may return to the UK in the future and record more new material.
