LOL merzbow

He might be a bit strapped for cash, been plenty of his albums (?) re-released this year.  Or noise is cool again.

 

"noise has always been cool"

 

[hello spiral]

Yeah I picked up the Material Action 2 reissue and Noisembryo. The latter is arguably more 'groundbreaking' than Pulse Demon, first album to sound like what we now know as noise. Pulse Demon is def an important one in his discography though, as MIXL2 said. Probably one of the loudest mastered albums too, outside of a Lady Gaga album.

Trey Parker once said the end of reality TV would only come when they started airing baby-fucking shows. Once that show starts production, it will be viewers' fault, not the baby-fucker's. Merzbow is the aural baby-fucker. Wherever your ideology lies on the experimental scale, and whatever your religious affiliation, music cannot get much more extreme than this.

 

I remember mashing up "Ultra Marine Blues" with an Interpol song using shitty free DJ software, while sleep deprived, and it sounded amazing.
