Comment:

This is a sampling of the MERZBOX, a 50-CD career retrospective of the Japanese noise musician Merzbow. Merzbow, AKA Masami Akita, has been around since 1979, creating at a phenomenal rate, churning out 100s of albums. All of his records advance his fundamental goal: the complete destruction and re-imagination of musicality. This mix (part 2 of 2) explores the more caustic and angry side that Merzbow is most known for, making this a very challenging listen. But still, despite Akita's insistence that he is destroying music altogether, even these more challenging compositions retain a strong sense of rhythm, at the least.

Still great. Few have explored the possibilities of pure noise with the single mindedness of Merzbow. Everyone should own a MERZBOX, well, maybe not.

i'll modify you, curtis--everyone should at least HEAR Merzbow a few times in their life. owning 50 cds by him is certainly not for everyone ;)
