MERZBOW - Merzbird
imprec040 - CD - $11.99 
Masami Akita, aka Merzbow, is one of the most influencial and provocative figures
in modern electronic composition. He has been hailed as the king
of Japanese noise and has toured, collaborated and released stunning
albums around the world for over 20 years. In 2002 he broke out
of the underground with the release of his first beat oriented material.
Titled Merzbeat, he won over new fans with his noise based approach
to beat based composition.
Merzbird is Merzbow's follow up to 2003's successful beat oriented
record Merzbeat. With the same reverence for crushing analog beats
and weaving noise textures and a compositional complexity, Masami
Akita brings Merzbeat and Merzbow into the future, advancing concepts,
with Merzbird.
Even if this record didn't totally rule, you'd have to have it
for the Norwegian Black Metal styled woodland photograph of Masami
Akiti spread wide across the gatefold. A classic.
