MERZBOW - Dolphin Sonar - CD
imprec205 - CD - $12.99 
Author, activist, painter and sound artist Masami Akita had been at the foreground of experimental music for over 25 years. Inspired by psycedelic rock, free jazz, early electronic composition as well the physical arts, especial Kurt Schwitters'
Merzbau, Masami Akita has created a musical language all his own.
Dolphin Sonar is Merzbow's full length protest album against the annual brutal slaughtering of some 2,500 dolphins in Taiji, Wakayama Prefecture Japan. This is an angry album full of beats, blasts and broken glass. Clattering smashes are pursued by by pulsing analog whirls like the heart of a dolphin being chased through the bloodied waters of Taiji. Filtered blasts of pummel and sound slaughter. Another Merzbow classic with the finest cover art money can buy by Jenny Akita. Liner notes from Captain Paul Watson.

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 |
