I dunno... this is a VERY close second.

It includes all elements of breakcore - the amen break, jungle vocals, sampling, and STILL sounds fresh even though it was recorded in 1992 (when Alec & co were just starting out). This track, imo, is perfection*.

*until fucking KORN came along and remixed it! *shakes fist*

it wasn't a remix, they covered it. and i like it cause chino moreno sangs on that shit and i love me some old school chino.

i much like a:pod's cover of straight outta compton as well

Snares is an institution of the genre itself.

The man pioneered what most still strive to emulate to this day.

If Alec Empire was ever relevant to BREAKCORE he wouldn't be the poor man's Trent Reznor he is now.

breakcore was invented by computer science majors at cardiff polytechnic - i thought was still in alpha testing but seems like someone leaked it early

'are we there yet' is a very core film.

in short: god invented breakcore. somewhere between inventing
soda streams and homosexuals (4th day, mid afternoon)

Ha, everyone always loves to compare Alec and Reznor, presumably because they both fiddle with electronics and have black hair. In reality, they have relatively little in common, aside from the fact that Reznor has cited Empire as a serious influence on more than one occasion.

The crafty sausage has truly mastered the jet black hair dye then. I think Empire might actually be blonde, he's changes his hair colour 4 times a year at least.

hair colours? do you ladies read Heat magazine too? Let's get together and swap makeup tips.

Yeah my favourite magazine is Nuts because sometimes it has topless women in it. I'm a sexually repressed Gabber faggot, and softcore pornography really gets me going.

ICE CUBE INVENTED BREAKCORE

Sorry if this discussion is getting boring, but....

I always thought one of the defining characteristics of breakcore was the hella fast tempos. Like it's not breakcore if it's less than 170bpm. If I'm wrong about this, that's fine, but I just thought it might be more accurate to say that breakcore is just a really, really fast version of Ice Cube, rather than claiming he is the inventor.

Of course there's the jamaican sounding vox in the chorus of wicked that, from memory, sound like they've been sped up or something but the drums are slow. And is that really the amen? Maybe it was just gated and the terrible, terrible quality of my speakers at home made it difficult to recognise, but it sounded different to me. Maybe da cube is just a masta of making the amen not boring. EDIT: Or whoever produced that track.

Anywho, back to work...

It was a joke.

Breakcore was "invented" in Australia, Germany and England by Bloody Fist, DHR and Ambush, respectively.

Well that one went RIGHT over my head. Your justification of the statement sounded completely sincere, and you had a few good points. You should put a few smilies and lawlz in to make it clearer to those of us who need it. Unless I'm the only one that was too dense to get it, which is entirely possible.

I Hate Breakcore

The music we love to hate!

so who invented breakcore anyways?

Who is online
