Search and Destroy : Digital Hardcore

Destroy: The sleevenotes to that ATR live at Brixton Academy mini-alb - ooh Alec you're SO HARD!

heh ec8or

it's a step up from the battlegrounds: a collection of hardcore cyberpunk comp of mokum crap i listened to earlier, though.

actually, maybe it isn't.

alright, it picks up towards the end. i love this cheap amiga shit, the lo-fi low-bitrate stuff sounds so good when done right. "short circuit" is pretty fucked up.

(listening to "all of us can be rich")

Whatever happened to Nic Endo?

I read about Runhild Gammelsæter Amplicon and it reminded me of the time I dug into the noize gurls thing...

love that Hanin Elias EP. never heard the Carl Crack.

Cobra Killer's "Straight Into a Kick for More" is great.

new Christoph De Babalon!

AWESOME

<3 that guy so much

pulled out a $0.99 cd comp "You've Got the Fucking Power" and made my friends endure it in the car the other day.

still really dug shiuzo "the man"

back in 98, across the street from the record store i worked at was a palm reading place. the gypsies that worked there would come in and cause a ruckus. they'd ask us to read things to them pretending they were illiterate. kids running around screaming. leaving things where they didn't belong. i'd always put this on to make them leave

I went to see ATR at Reading Festival 1999 because of all the hype they were getting in the NME at the time (lol) they didn't disappoint. I mean, for the first band on the day they rocked more than the rest of the main stage put together

I was at that. But not cos of the NMe I guess I'm pleased to say. Massive fan at the time and I remember running towards the stage in beaming sunshine as they'd already started even though it was midday or something. They rocked though. And now I'm old and I groan when I stand up.

lol you young bastard you don't even know you're born

Shizuo vs Shizor is still fucking HOT

apparently we're not the only Christoph De Babalon fans because If You're Into It, I'm Out Of It got a remaster/release in 2018

destroy:

alec empire not on mille plateaux

allow "the destroyer"

search: shizuo first two EPs on dhr

destroy: really everything else, c'mon this music is objectively bad

counterpoint: it's good

also I felt compelled to search out rotterdam hardcore and gabber comps after listening to some alec empire last week and it was great

The Carl Crack album is amazing

(Black ark)

I think I want to hear hypermodern jazz 500 again

MACHINE GIRL revived this genre brilliantly last year

wow wow I don’t think the late great has ever been more wrong about anything. brb going to review your entire posting history

apparently we're not the only Christoph De Babalon fans because /If You're Into It, I'm Out Of It/ got a remaster/release in 2018

I’m actually amazed there aren’t a shitload of really old drunk posts from me all over this thread

guess who preordered the CdB album heck yeah

I did not know this! this is my favourite ATR-related thing by some distance out of what I've heard, although "Black Ark" is rad too

going to check out the recs on this thread though as there's lots I haven't heard

(I got a bit snooty about the more raucous/later stuff at the time, if I'm honest, as I knew a few indie kids and metalheads who never listened to d&b/hardcore/techno but suddenly evangelised DHR - more my problem than the music's, I realise from the comfort of 20 years later)

heh I was probably one of those, although I did used to listen to house and rave stuff earlier in the decade I'd kind of stopped keeping up with dance music by the mid-90s. I liked hardcore punk, noise rock and industrial music so for me it wasn't a big step to liking ATR.

wow full-on reevaluation going on

see: pitchfork feature today on DHR

I think I want to hear hypermodern jazz 500 again

hee hee "my funk is useless"

seriously though this album is ... annoying and bad

as sr said "one track is called "my funk is useless". taken literally this is true: there's no use-value to be gleaned from "hypermodern jazz", you can't dance to this music and you can't really chill to it (unless you're some kind of psychopath, or the man who fell to earth)"

this is the stuff i keep listening to. way better than most dhr stuff. someone should reevaluate THIS. almost all of it out of print or impossible to find though. which doesn't make reevaluation easy.

THIS is my kinda hardcore

xp lol yeah i think "I think I want to hear hypermodern jazz 500 again" every few years, always disappointed

seriously, though, the Carl Crack album is positively brilliant. it's pretty lofi and weird, though. probably makes more sense in the current age, must have sounded weird as fuck in 1999

RIP carl crack

i heard the christoph de babalon album on a great basin road trip, man that is some evil and bleak as fuck music, making sagebrush seas profoundly malicious
