Album Notes
The anarchistic Sturm und Drang of Empire's popular Atari Teenage Riot project often overshadows the Digital Hardcore icon's chameleon-like solo career. Empire was originally the linchpin of Berlin's Force Inc. organization, a unique platform for "intelligent," anti-rave techno music. Prior to an ideological falling-out with label head Achim Szepanski, the young, ambitious, innovative, and utterly uncompromising Empire was Force Inc's creative center, his influence galvanic for an experimental techno enterprise laboring beneath the Fascist heel of the rave hegemony.
LIMITED EDITIONS 1990-94, an essential document of German post-rave techno, collects Empire's earliest work for Force Inc's various outlets. The emphasis is on inventive melodies and charged, well-crafted, Detroit-style techno. Though more conservative than his later work, such tracks as "Sweet," "Chinese Takeaway," and "Silver Box" are effective and energetic, their impressively intricate programming clearly distancing Empire from the mono-rhythms of rave. "Suecide," "When Love Disappears," and "The Backside of My Brain" reflect Empire's growing fascination with non-traditional breakbeats and digi-dub deflections. The beatless "Limited 005" presents evocative electronic ripples and recedings, while the 13-minute "Civilization Virus" is an experimental tour de force in the ethno-ambient mold of Bill Laswell or Paul Schutze--a virtually orchestral storm of flutes, didgeridoo, and progressive "illbient" textures.
