The song I listen to are great, but these tracks are excellent. My personal favorites are track 01, 11, and 12.

It's a punch in my brain

Dear friends... this is a kind of music that break all paradigms. Heavy, hard, strong... it's powerfull.

I remember my older brother giving me the album with Speed on it back in the day with the instructions to L I S T E N to this. I was pretty young and didn't get, so I opted for Achtung Baby and Elton John records ... where the melody is easy and a white man can tap his foot and bite his bottom lip. I was young and foolish, if I had any intelligence I would have listened to this all the live long day. This music has not dated itself ... like so much techno-(esque) type stuff ... in fact I dare say the world needs this music more now then ever.

try midi junkies while driving and see if you can resist the urge to peer like a badass over your steering wheel, pretending it's fifteen years ago and you might still be part of something cool... the sound here always reminds me of Pop Will Eat Itself, especially RSVP from Dos Dedos. my favorite so far is Delete Yourself - you've got no chance to win!

Crashed my car

EmptySound

2000 years of nothing plus an everymart or two put me over the edge and my car into a ditch. And I didn't even flinch. I'm just going to burn my late memo and use to to torth what's left of my hybrid.

HELL YEA!

I first heard ATR back in the mid 90's and ever time I hear them I just want to break something. Banned from there native Berlin because there fans took the song Burn Berlin Burn! too heart. Truly music to start a riot too, it makes me want to throw a brick through the window of a McDonalds or WalMart or some other damn billion dollar bull-shit company. It's a shame that this band had to end the way it did.

Burnt the place down!

When ATR toured with Rage Against the Machine and the Wu Tang clan in the late 90s the fans literally tore down the fences surrounding the venue and set them on fire. This was the perfect soundtrack to that scene.

Who Are…Death Grips

By Arye Dworken, eMusic Contributor

If somehow, in the year 2012, you're still looking for evidence of the changing face of the record industry, consider that the Sacramento noise/punk-rap trio Death Grips was recently signed to Epic Records by L.A. Reid, the man responsible for the careers of Justin Bieber, Dido, Ciara and P!nk. Yet not only is the impeccably dressed music executive and sometimes X-Factor judge releasing two provocative Death Grips albums in the span of six months, most recently,… more »

They Say All Music Guide

If you’re one of the many who can’t tell one Atari Teenage Riot album from the other but still crave their fierce, digital hardcore radicalism, this one’s for you. Atari Teenage Riot: 1992-2000 takes the band’s discography and pares it down to the necessary tracks, making this their ultimate weapon. Punk rock and power electronics blend and juiced-up drum machines pound as Alec Empire and crew shout and rally for “Revolution Action.” If you aren’t familiar with ATR, their targets and politics aren’t fleshed out (“nazis” and “fascists” must die and all that) and their music makes Sigue Sigue Sputnik sound versatile. Still you can’t beat them for extreme, primal protest chants, and their uncompromising stance is something unmatched to this day. Heck, a major label released some of this extreme noise terror and you’ve got to respect the subversiveness of that. Other than Empire’s liner notes and the portability of the set, there isn’t a good reason to recommend this rarity-free comp to longtime fans. Most everyone else will probably find this is as exhaustive as it is exhausting, making it the only ATR disc they’ll ever need. – David Jeffries
