Amazon.co.uk Review
This album is 26.38 minutes of sonic, digital overload. Recorded at the end of a year long world tour fraught with psychosis, illness, drugs, legal problems and exhaustion, it features the electronic post-riot girrrl trio of Alec Empire, Carl Crack and German-Japanese noise goddess Nic Endo at their most intense. Amps overload, voices scream in distorted agony, Roland Space Echo's and Moog Prodigy's are pushed way beyond endurance. There is one track, no let up. The sheer density of the sound pulverises and polarises the audience into submission and aggression. Unrelenting, malevolent and oddly energising, Atari Teenage Riot's Live At Brixton Academy sees this Berlin-based punk/dance collective's sound taken to its logical extreme. --Jerry Thackray

Customer Reviews

Absolutely rubbish - an utter waste
I'm a big ATR fan and have a great deal of their material, both old and new. I bought this CD without a second thought, but now....... From start to finish, you get dirge. Pure and simple. Anyone who has an old Spectrum computer, simply load up a game with the volume on 10, and the difference is negligible. The track Digital Hardcore on the latest album features a large component of distortion and equipment overload, and the results are both effective and listenable. Similar techniques are attempted live, it seems, but it turns out to be a steaming pile of rancid whatnots...

Noizecore and nothing more
This CD will only appeal to noizecore fans, no one else. If you like the rock/techno mix that is digital hardcore fine but this is not really digital hardcore it is noizecore pure and simple. The group bombards you with waves of oscillating distortion which is soothing in the same way as waves crashing on a beech are. if you're looking for the screamed lyrics and bass'y beats of their other albums its best to give this a miss but if you are looking for a change or just something very different give it a go you wont be sorry.

An exhilarating record of audio self destruction
This is the sound of a band falling apart on stage, and making one final almighty racket. It's an exorcism, an unstoppable primal scream. Listening to it is like falling down a cliff face, desperately grasping for something to hold onto, a hook, a beat, amongst the unrelenting noise. But after a while it sweeps you up and becomes almost soothing. Just me? Oh.

Still, it's a frankly astounding insight into just what a nightmare being in a band and touring non-stop can become, but i'd rather listen to this than a thousand singer songwriters whining about being homesick anyday. I just wish i'd been there.
