Alec Empire . While by no means his first solo album, it was his first full album since the demise of his former bandAtari Teenage Riot , and he regarded it as a new beginning, stating that it "feels like this is my first real album". [http://www.gothtronic.com/?page=23&band=272 Alec Empire (int)] , Gothtronic, accessed 2007-07-22.] This recording consists of twoCD s, each with a significantly different sound. CD 1 is somewhat consistent with the ATR formula while the second disc (printed on the album cover as "CD²") is entirely electronic with negligible use of vocals.Track listing

*"Tear It Out" (Remix) is an alternate version of a track originally intended for
Dave Grohl 's Probot project. The project consisted of instrumental tracks recorded by Grohl, with vocals provided by several well-known heavy metal singers. When "Probot" was finally released, Empire's contribution was not used. Instead, the track was re-recorded with new lyrics and vocals by Mike Dean ofCorrosion of Conformity and it became known as "Access Babylon".
