Title:	Hypermodern Jazz 2000.5
Label:	MILLE PLATEAUX (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	MP 023CD

Empire's 4th album, from 1996. "Another step in the ever-evolving art of Alec Empire. Not a mere interpretation of easy listening and jazz, Hypermodern Jazz 2000.5 is full of humor and gusto; an all-out destruction of musical forms and their genesis in jazz. Entering a field in which there is neither perspective nor limit nor outline nor center, Empire uses the power of repetition as a mechanical forces that pursues an infinite movement. Speed and slowness of beats and the strange use of jazz keyboard patterns reconstruct a smooth space. In one lone effort, Alec Empire has invented space jazz." Limited stock of this now deleted release.
