COIL & THE NEW BLOCKADERS & VORTEX CAMPAIGN
The Melancholy Mad Tenant - LP
imprec189 - LP - $20.00 
One per color (black and grey) per customer.
Limited edition of 500 copies on 180 gram vinyl. Originally released on cassette in 1984 and then on cd in an edition of 500. The first 100 copies are on grey vinyl.
In 1984 Vortex Campaign invited Coil and The New Blockaders to collaborate. The result, unofficially referred to as “Dolbied”, was released on cassette in an edition of 50. The release has since gone on to become legendary, showcasing two of the most influential groups in the scene at the early stages of their development. “The Melancholy Mad Tenant” is an authorised release, sanctioned by all three groups.
Formed in 1983 the output of Coil has ranged from the avant-garde, to experimental neoclassical, to extended excursions into pure electronica. Many bands and composers have cited Coil as an influence. Coil were mainly a studio group, but in 2000 they commenced a succesful series of tours that proved to be extremely remarkable events. The New Blockaders began in 1982 with the release of the debut LP “Changez Les Blockeurs” which is cited by many as a defining moment in the history of noise music. TNB have gone on to influence a generation of artists from Japanese noise-maestro Merzbow to noise punks Wolf Eyes.

What did you listen to last summer? Masami
Akita, otherwise know as Merzbow, spent most of his summer
listening to Horace Andy, Studio One, Dennis Bovel, Keith
Hudson and a whole pipe full of other dub mavericks. That's
probably why this brand new full length, with cover art by
Jenny Akita, is dripping with deep bass riffage and a whole
lot of electronic dub vibes and beats. |

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.

Last
of Analog Sessions is a 3 cd box set compiling Merzbow's last
3 albums recorded entirely on anlog equiptment. These albums
went unreleased until now, and mark a historic compositional
change in the world of Merzbow. Upon completion of these three
albums Masami Akita traded his analog equiptment for an Apple
laptop which he has been composing on ever since. This change
in equiptment marks a change in sound and a whole new period
for Merzbow. This box set marks the end of an era and the
beginning of another.
This
set is strictly limited edition and each one comes with an
embroidered Merzbow Last Of Analog Sessions patch |
