“Live CBGB's NYC 1998” is a live album by German digital hardcore/ breakcore pioneer Alec Empire and Japanese noise artist Masami "Merzbow" Akita, released on DHR in 2003. The two artists collaborated together during the legendary November 4th show at the 1998 Digital Hardcore Festival at CBGB's, New York City. It captures Alec in his DJ 6666 era, his harsh Death Funk sound of his previous DHR releases pushed to its noisiest extreme as he and Merzbow improvise sounds of distorted brutality.
