The sounds are louder, dirtier, heavier, faster, and noisier on Atari Teenage Riot's 60 Second Wipe Out. But to what end? The screaming, faux-revolutionary, Baader Meinhof-like rants are just so much sonic wallpaper, akin to the bloody bleeps of a Mortal Kombat video game. ATR's music began in 1992 as a ridiculously cartoonish, potentially exciting amalgam of hard-core punk rock, techno, and drum & bass. And while their music never lived up to its promised "revolution," that was not much of a surprise to anyone. It is a wonder, however, that this record is so completely unexciting, what with so much fast, high-decibeled noise swathed in the distorted boom-box aesthetic to which all Digital Hardcore records must submit. For all their radical rhetoric, ATR have merely demonstrated once again what we already learned from the likes of MDC back in '83: louder and faster are most certainly not better. --Mike McGonigal

superb!!!.......2006-02-03

when compared directly to "burn, berlin, burn," this album definitely appears to be a more mature version of complete electronic meltdown. i believe this is due to merzbow's obvious influence on alec empire. between ATR's two albums, elec empire performed live with merzbow, and changes in empire's aesthetic that resulted from that experience are obviously reflected by the music in "60 second wipe out." there are massive, layered chunks of swirling noise on this album where there were only yelping bleeps of drum machines turned up the maximum bpm, samples of Sex Pistols, etc. on "burn, berlin, burn." also of note: the inclusion in "60 second wipe out" of certain sampled speech fragments that also appeared on "alec empire vs merzbow: live CBGB's NYC 1998." you know, that sample where the guy talks about 'the revolution' and junk. this brings me to the much-debated 'revolution' aspect to ATR's lyrics. does it really matter whether there IS a revolution or not? Venom didn't really worship satan. Alice Cooper doesn't really like snakes. could it perhaps just be that the non-native english speakers of ATR need something to yell about, and decided to scream about revolutions instead of chipmunks or exciting cloud formations? overall, i'd say that this album is a fun ride full to the brim with hardcore electroindustrialdnbnoise. also, "60 second wipe out" is less horrible to listen to repeatedly than "burn, berlin, burn."

What th-?!.......2005-08-31

Seeing negative reviews of this album is staggering. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but six years on- topical references (like Anarchy 999) notwithstanding- 60 Second Wipe Out still holds up magnificently. I don't think anyone's ever melded hardcore punk and industrial the way ATR did. I guess if you're looking for Yanni or whatever, this is the wrong album for you, but if you remember and admire Black Flag, Sister Machine Gun, Minor Threat, Machines of Loving Grace, Bad Brains, Broken-era Nine Inch Nails, etc., I seriously can't understand how you can dislike 60 Second Wipe Out. To each their own.

The Best Harcore techno EVER.......2005-08-24

I was at first suspicious of this laubm after seeing the bad reviews on it, but after buying and listening to it I realized that this is indeed the best ATR album. I have listened to a lot of ATR's early works and have loved it intensely. I was not prepared for what they would bring on one of their later works. This album ROCKS from beginning to end!!!! It appears that they have let go of their driving house beat (the constant boom-boom-boom) for a more punk drum driven style that replicates what a normal drummer would do except in a much faster pace. ATR on this album has abandoned their repetitive punk "soundbytes", for the most part, and have opted for a rap driven fast-paced vocal assault. While the vocals are not exactly rap, they yell and scream much faster and with great abandonment. I have yet to hear anything like the tracks "No Success" and "Your Uniform (does not impress me)". Any fan of drum and bass who wishes that someome would release something harder should spring for this album. This album also appeals to punk sensabilites in its political, angry, don't give a crap lyrics and beat. This album will make you want to rip appliances out of walls and beat the crap out of yuppies. Obtain this album if you truly possess deep rooted anger and all will be free.

ATR's Peak.......2003-07-12

I can't believe how many people don't understand this album. Sure, this isn't a mellow, soul-searching acoustic work, but it isn't supposed to be. That of course doesn't mean there isn't a place for this in the collection of every well-rounded music fan-- sometimes you just want something really hard and fast and angry, and ATR does it better than anyone. This is an absolute masterpiece, with a more professional, better-layered production quality that suits ATR perfectly. The band constantly borders on total electronic meltdown as they just radiate energy and shout some of their most coherent revolutionary lyrics and memes. Get this CD and get ANGRY.

brings the noise, leaves the music behind..........2003-05-22

Quite simply, Atari Teenage Riot is so bad it's good. Almost. The music is terrible, not just performance-wise, but recording quality, too. It sounds ATR leaned a Fisher Price cassette recorder up against a blown amp and then cut thier album. But, I guess that's part of ATR's charm. the lyrics are almost completely incoherent broken english, but honestly are fun to scream along to and make fun of. It's hard to believe this is a real band, but I love them anyway.

ATR is one of those bands that look great on paper: youth fighting the system, a band blending old-school punk with samplers and break beats, a musical revolution. Unfortunately, Burn, Berlin, Burn! is mere cathartic venting, not a full frontal assault on government, press, and social ills. Musically, they dish out a mix of recycled punk and bad jungle--not even much for ear candy. It's a shame because they are the type of band you really want to take seriously, but so are the reunited Sex Pistols as they scream about EMI 20 years later. A good idea taken to an unoriginal conclusion. --Bill Snyder

digital hardcore.......2004-12-26

gee...you know, i wonder just how many people know that this is really compilation album that is a kinda "best of" with tracks from their import only albums "delete yourself" and "the future of war"...? anyway, the majority of these tracks come from "future" and it serves as a good introduction to ATR for those who've been living under rock or don't know good musik when they hear it. it goes without saying that most people aren't going to like them, (just as half the world hated "setting sun" by the chem), but for those who remember when punk actually had a point and a message...ATR takes punk into a whole new direction where modern punks won't dare to go. using electronics, samples, scything unforgiving lyrics...they get a point across and it's very good.

like i said...
not everyone is going to get this.
but for those who do, you'll know this as a political band that stayed underground in the u.s. while bands like rage against the machine were mainstream and on mtv. it's not a bad thing coz you have to look for the musik that matters and that is exactly what you're getting here....

something that matters, not disposable.

Aggressive, pointed, non-whiny, not anti-everything.......2004-08-05

This is some hard-hitting stuff. It's gutsy, clear-headed, and angry. It isn't blunt, but it is sharp.

Their lyrics weren't screened by a marketing department. They weren't trying to ride a gravy-train. The result is some free-flowing stuff.

I'd have to disagree with the classification of ATR as being 'anti-everything', either. They aren't. They fire with a big gun, but they aren't firing at random, or carelessly, or at everything.

It's unfortunate that they lost their DJ - like /lost/ lost, kaput, no more mr. guy synth/sample (left, on the cover). Still, the music keeps going, and the singers might reappear, yet.

Music to make your ears bleed.......2004-03-11

There aren't many bands out there on the music scene that actually falls under the 'hardcore' label and actually sounds 'hardcore'. Bands like Linkin Park, Korn and Limp Bizkit are not hardcore. They are far from what bands like Black Flag and Minor Threat were in the '80s. Frankly Linkin Park, Korn, and Limp Bizkit are the new Poisons and Warrants of metal today. Another great hardcore band I felt that truly deserved the label was the German techno/punk band Atari Teenage Riot. I bought their album "Burn, Berlin, Burn" back in the late '90s because I was looking for something different and something noisy and intense. I read about the band in a magazine and my curiousity was immediately piqued. What I heard was a great fusion of hardcore punk's political sensibilities along with the frenatic beats of hardcore techno. The results is pure chaos. If the Dada movement had a soundtrack, I would have to say that "Burn, Berlin, Burn" was it. As art was completely deconstructed by the Dada movement, the music I heard on ATR's album was deconstructed as far as song structure is concerned. There is nothing melodic about the music (except for "Speed" which I personally found to be quite catchy). ATR totally disregard the rules of music with their obviously leftist policies and chaotic techno beats and intense screaming by Alec Empire, Hanna Elias and Carl Crack. "Burn, Berlin, Burn" is definitely not for everyone but I sure as heck has enjoyed listening to it over the years.

more punk rock than most punk rock.......2002-08-29

This album captures the angst, anger, and anarchy punk rock was all about ten or twenty years ago. It's brutal and honest, thrashing and futuristic, not to mention catchy. The only reason i give it four stars and not five is that some times they get silly... in a good way, but still, the musical skill isn't perfect, even if the screaming is. Even tho I love this CD, I save the five star reviews for CDs that are techinically great as well as being tasty ear candy.
And ATR is precisely ear candy, with a lot of passion and a lot of guts, but simple old skool electronic stylings. personally, i often prefer simplier stuff.
if you like ATR i also highly recommend BABYLAND.
these bands and other digital hardcore/industrial/cyberpunk are the only true subculture for the nineties, when punk rock went from rebellion to MTV bland fad, to worse and worse and worse. digital hardcore is the new hope, and unlike bands like blink 182 and greenday, they are still not accessible to the mainstream

Force of sound.......2002-01-21

Listening to the CD is like having your brain extracted through your ear canal and loving every minute of it. The music is some of the most intense I have ever heard, it nocks you off your feet and makes you want to scream. If your a hardcore fan you have got to get this CD

Album Description

"This compilation is less a nostalgia trip and more a testament to forward-thinking sonic genius--one as unmatched today as it was at the time. ****" -- KEERRANG!

In the late nineties Atari Teenage Riot (ATR) was seen as part of the electronica genre, but in reality the band had nothing in common with it. It was too avant-garde, too radical in its views, simply too loud and noisy to fit in. Between their inception and their eventual dissolution after the death of the band's MC Carl Crack, ATR existed as the true alternative for Generation X, kicking down the doors of mainstream music and sexual/racial stereotyping. Even now, the political and social messages that focused the band's near-apocalyptic sound resonate even stronger than before, as a new generation of punk-influenced youth find Atari Teenage Riot via the internet and good old-fashioned word of mouth. This release stands as a testament to the years 1992-2000, when anything seemed possible.

Album Description

2006 collection. Combining driving techno beats with the musical fury and political sloganeering of hardcore punk, Berlin-based Atari Teenage Riot, led by DJ and techno artist Alec Empire, were at the fore of the Digital Hardcore movement based around Empire's label of the same name. Atari Teenage Riot viewed themselves as a vital alternative to both a politically reactionary dance music scene and a tepid punk scene in Germany in the 1990s. ATR/DHR albums were released on the Beastie Boys' Grand Royal Records in the United States.

The best of by the best band ever.......2006-07-30

It's like nothing you've ever heard before, this is the best of album by the best group ever! It's a fast violent statement. Atari is by far the most progressive group ever existed. It's a shame Carl Crack dieed so young. There are many groups trying to copy ATR, not even one came close to the original. This album isn't for everybody, but you should have this beauty in your collection, even if you don't appreciate it, this is an unique statement. They used the onpening track of this album,speed in the latest fast and the furious 3 movie. A MUST BUY! Best album I've heard in a long long time!

I had a chance to watch this band with my girlfriend and they are freaken sick. They sound much better live, but that's not to discredit the cd. Im from southern cali so we don't get a chance to see them play much, but when we do were there. So, if you have chance pick up this album and you won't be dissapointed.

The Best Damn Band I Have Ever Seen Before Making It Big.......2004-10-16

I saw them at a local show in Marietta, GA. I didn't know who they were at the time before that. My friends band had a show that night so when they got done performing we chilled and watched these guys performed. Five hot guys from California stepped on stage a we fell in love with their music. The bassist had his wang dang doodle in my face practically through the whole set. The singer was swinging his hair out and geting mine and my girlfriends faces wet. It was one of the best live show I have been to. Although they sound good love it is a diferent story for the CD. I have previewed the album and it sounds good, but not as good live. That doesn't stop them from being the best band I have ever heard of. I love the music so keep it up!

Poptastic!!.......2005-08-07

Okay who can deny it? The 1980's had one of the best pop songs in exsistance! This album is a MUST HAVE for any pop lover!

Great Collection of Late 80's Teen Pop!.......2002-12-23

This is a great overview of pop of the late 80's. All of the big teen pop names are here. The New Kids are represented here with their top 5 hit "The Right Stuff" from 1989. The 80's two junior divas are also respresented. Tiffany with her #1 smash "I Think We're Alone Now" and Debbie Gibson with her top 5 pop ditty "Only In my Dreams." We also have heart-throb Rick Astley's irresistible #1 "Never Gonna Give You Up." Probably one of the catchiest songs to come out of 1987-1988 perhaps right behind Expose's spectacular #5 chart hit "Point of No Return" *guess what...it's on here too!* One hit wonder Martika also offers up her #1 "Toy Soldiers" which is a nice addition along with fellow one hit wonder Vanilla Ice's infamous "Ice Ice Baby." And who can forget New Edition and Menudo?

This album totally sums up this era. Every song was a smash and were all staples on pop radio from the late 80's into the early 90's. A lot of them are represented with their one big song *Vanilla Ice, Martika, Sweet Sensation, Stacey Q* while a few actually managed to churn out a nice amount of hits during their popularity *Expose, Debbie Gibson, New Kids On the Block* but all these songs are great. Take a stroll down memory lane and buy it!

Embarrasingly good!.......2001-07-20

This is the THE album for those of us who really like 80's teeny-bopper pop. It's one of those cds you don't want to admit to owning, but secretly listen to when no one's around because you really like all the songs! If you grew up in the 80's, this cd will bring back all kinds of memories when you listen to it. Quintessential 80's pop. Yes, the songs are embarrasingly bubble-gummy, but for crying out loud, it's called "TEEN RIOT!" Such a title doesn't exactly scream deep and meaningful. It does, however, scream fun. And this cd is exactly that: fun. So embarrassingly good that it's fun. Besides, where else can you get Linear, Stacey Q and Rick Astley on one cd? 'Nuff said.

Cooool!.......2000-11-20

I origionally only wanted this cuz I really wanted a cd with Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby" without having to get a cd like monsters of rap with some bad old school rappers I knew I pry wouldnt like, so yeah teen riot youll pry like it if ur one of those girl riots ya know with the boy bands and stuff,Im not exactly one anymore, but yeah, NKOTB R also good too!

Guilty pleasures for Gen X.......2000-10-18

For waaaay too long, Boomers have had their favorite really bad songs available in anthology format. If you wanted a copy of Seasons In the Sun or The night Chicago Died, it was easy, perhaps too easy to find.

But try to find Tiffany, Martika or Linear? You were outta luck. Sure you could get the good music of the 90's, but where was the junk? Where was the tripe? Where could you find those unlistenable tracks?

Well, now they are all available on this generous package. Not content to limit the collection to a piddly 10 or 12 songs, there is over an hour of pure audio agony. These are the tunes that made you cringe, the radio-saturated artists that you hoped you'd never hear again.

And for the most part you don't.

Sure a few names have survived. Ricky Martin from Menudo. Bobby Brown from New Edition. But for the most part, these are the stars of VH1's Where Are They Now. Pebbles still gets a significant percentage of TLC's income as their first manager. Debbie (now Deborah) Gibson is an actress in musicals. Stacey Q became a nuclear physicist. Okay, that last one's a lie, but really, do you know any better?

Do you hate these songs? Of course! But you'll sing along with every note. Put this disc on at a party and everyone will ask if they can borrow it.

But make 'em get their own damn copy. Why should you be the only one to suffer?

Destroy 2000 Years Of Culture.......2006-03-28

Digital Hardcore huh? Atari Teenage Riot, once the darlings of the "alternative" musical press, are the champions of this self-defined genre. There might be a bit of a Hardcore attitude here but, musically, this owes more to Throbbing Gristle-type deconstruction and unfettered chaos.

None of this album makes much sense, which is also it's most endearing quality. You can almost hear the music being constructed: "Cool! We got a drum beat! Let's speed it up! And slow it down! Um, do ya reckon we should do something else with it, like introduce some melody or something? OK, so melody didn't work. Let's just shout a lot!" The resulting cacophony is pretty much indescribable, structureless electronic noise over an intermittent backdrop of frenetic Gabba beats, all covered by shrieks, shouts and occasionally singing. You can dance to it, if you're simultaneously having an epileptic fit, but generally it's best to stand back and let the sound flow over you.

It seems the same lack of coherence affected the lyrics. The band is German, but all the lyrics are English. Any time Alec Empire couldn't think of the right word in English, he'd add "!!!!!!!!" The exclamation points are important, because they make up approximately half of the lyric sheet. However, look past Empire's awful grasp of English and you'll find a pretty smart message. "Get Up While You Can", the breakthrough single of this album, has all three band members railing against the state of music and the industry surrounding it. "**** All!" carries a similar, simpler sentiment, with Hanin Elias screaming "**** All!" over and over in a vicious manner which even Henry Rollins would be envious of. Basically, this band is after a new world order, and think they have the musical anarchy to spark the revolution.

A couple of tracks take a more measured approach. "Destroy 2000 Years Of Culture" is a Hip Hop style track, with a repetitive guitar line which sounds like it was borrowed from Slayer's "Angel Of Death". Alec Empire and the now deceased Carl Crack trade lines, although Crack is the more competent Rapper. "Redefine The Enemy" sees Empire ranting over a basic beat, while on "Death Star" Elias breathlessly recites a simple mantra over a distortion soaked Dub track.

Furthermore, there are three unlisted, untitled tracks at the end of the album. These tracks are a little different from the rest of the album, sounding far more conventional and more like simple Dance tracks. They don't detract from the album, but just seem a little out of place amongst the overall disorder and confusion of everything else here.

Despite the band's best efforts, there was no great musical revolution and no storming of the corporate Winter Palace. Atari Teenage Riot were forced to become the underground resistance rather than the revolutionary coup leaders, due to equal doses of apathy and confusion from the great unwashed. It is still hard to understand quite where these guys were coming from, but `The Future Of War' is a great pick-me-up for jaded and listless Rock fans.

RIOT SOUNDS!!.......2002-11-23

The soundtrack to a backstairs revolution which will scare your parents but will probably die at the first hurdle. But that shouldn't stop you trying, right??!!! More astounding sexy tunes from the mighty Alec, the late Carl Crack and the eternally hoarse and disturbingly seductive Hanin Elias (whose solo album is also superb), not that the others are not of course (too much eyeliner). ATR have continued to be a breath of fresh ox in the constant pollution of newspeak bull we seem to be fed constantly! The news of the banning of this album in Germany is particlarly disturbing! As a huge DHR fan myself I can't say this is my favourite, but tracks like "Destroy 200 years of culture' are simply of classic status in popular music, of a much needed kind in this Celine Dion obsessed mire of flatline chaff. Electrocute the mainstream! Buy Future of War!!! And wear lots of shiny black clothes!!
Check out EC8OR too, (with the disturbingly seductive Gina V. D'Orio !!!)
DIGITAL HARDCORE!!!

Joy!.......2001-02-26

got gabber-punk.......2003-08-01

First of all, this cd IS way better than 60 second wipeout.I first heard ATR on a tape my cousin lent me. After listening to the first 10 seconds I was like "dude, this is so breakbeat". Then "start the riot" shot off fast..... It was fast, loud, aggressive, and it wasnt all punk or metal. The beats were hard and the screaming was screeching, I loved it. I was like "dude!" I wanted to hear more stuff like it, which is kinda how I got hooked on gabber/hardcore. After that my life consisted of only school, work and gabber. Now all I listen to are dudes like Omar Santana, Delta 9, Ron D. Core, DJ Tron, Rob Gee, ATR, and anything else on Industrial Strength records.

Average customer rating: ATR's best Hardcore!!! not for contemporary "techno" fans oh my god why did i buy this "Too Dead For Me"..

ATR's best.......2003-07-12

I can't believe how many people don't understand this album. Sure, this isn't a mellow, soul-searching acoustic work, but it isn't supposed to be. That of course doesn't mean there isn't a place for this in the collection of every well-rounded music fan-- sometimes you just want something really hard and fast and angry, and ATR does it better than anyone. This is an absolute masterpiece, with a more professional, better-layered production quality that suits ATR perfectly. The band constantly borders on total electronic meltdown as they just radiate energy and shout some of their most coherent revolutionary lyrics and memes. Get this CD and get ANGRY.

Hardcore!!!.......2002-11-23

If you havent heard an ATR record before it is a challenge to describe it to you! So I won't bother. All you need to know is that they are very loud!! Yeeehah!! But their is a subtely and artistry to Alec Empires's music that works through much of his revolutionary little boy bored nonsense, which often gets in the way of a very important message of resistance in his music. You don't have to be a hedonist to enjoy DHR music and I dont think it helps either! Hedonistic poeple are often like drug addicts, their boring, and ATR are anything but!!!
Though when you get to the point of white noise, you lose your audience, and what is the point of agit-prop when nobody is listening...??

not for contemporary "techno" fans.......2002-07-13

ATR has distanced themselves from the typical techno scene, wanting to break all ties with the term "techno". Take an anarchist punk band of the 70's, beef it up with 200 BPM samples and beats and add some random noise and effects and you have Atari Teenage Riot. however, despite their lack of talent in lyrics, ATR are masters of their own electronic hybrid called "digital hardcore". This album will really get you moving, and the expierimental style comes off very well. While the lyrics come off as self rightous, the music is intense and a great display of the genre.

oh my god why did i buy this.......2002-05-02

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm what a good cd oh yes it comes in handy for a drink coaster or a beach frizbee. i highly recommend this cd if u enjoy drinking or the beach

"Too Dead For Me".........2002-01-29

Quite Frankly/Bluntly, I must say I love ATR very much so, but this is one album in particular that I rarely listen to... I give it two stars, an extra one cos it's ATR.. but I think the album lacks the quality of the previously released album (Burn Berlin Burn) in some ways and the lyrics at times don't flow as smoothly.. I'd have to say, the rare occasion on which I do play this album, it's 'better' songs might be 'Too Dead For Me' and perhaps 'Revolution Action' an..mmm 'By Any Means Necessary'...
