While putting the Live at the ICA record together for DHR Alec had the idea of releasing other live performances, covering other genres of music he is involved with - in particular, his exploration of noise and his abstract DJ work. Alec’s extensive collaborations with the renowned Japanese musician Masami Akita, aka Merzbow, have taken place over the last seven years – the artists playing together many times under a variety of guises. (In addition to the purely electronic projects Masami also played drums in the original line up for the Intelligence and Sacrifice album). One of Alec and Masami’s most intense performances took place during a DHR night at CBGB's in new York in 1998. Alec pulled out the tapes and found they sounded as exciting as he remembered. Masami approved the recording and "Merzbow Vs Alec Empire at CBGB’s" was scheduled. Alec: “It is exactly what you think it is: a total blast! Masami Akita the godfather of noise meets the Destroyer in New York to bury the last ashes of punk rock.”x
