I think Empire deserve more credit for making some of the most interesting music of the '90, but his persona got rightly ridiculized for the Atari Teenage Riot crap (albeit a few singles, expecially Sick to Death were good) and his irritant "black and white" if you are not with me you' re the enemy kind of "extreme" leftism.
But a listen to "hypermodern jazz", "the destroyer" or "les filles mort" you discover some of the best electronica recently made. Also his music has always sounded to me like a perfect o.s.t. for b/z-movies that are no more made, a psychedelic lurid '60 technicolor sci-fi for "hypermodern", a easter ultraviolent low budget splatter for "destroyer", a black and white silent documentary for "les filles". Now there is a new album out, "The Futurist": Anyone had listened to it and can tell me is any good? Should be a metal or a punk album i belive... (yes, he his a bit of a Zelig). Opinions on this album and on Empire ouvre in general?
