* "Space Metallizer" Here's where techno's influence on Merzbow becomes apparent. There's all kinds of analog EMS tweaking, very beautiful sounds. Not as harsh as we have come to expect.
of the 5 or so merzbow cds I own this is my favorite. a few long songs, all of them distinct. i originally bought it because it mentions his use of thermins and moogs as sound sources... it's difficult to tell. the sounds are all very saturated with distortion but soothing. i can listen to it all the way through and stay with it the entire time. i'd recommend this one too :) on a tangent: i was wondering if anyone else on the list was interested in kiyoshi mizutani. he worked with merzbow earlier on and appears on 'ecobondage' as the 'tapes submitted by:' person... i assume this means he provided the sound sources and masami akita played with them. peace, soooooo __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
