Merzbow

Postby Howl Scene » Mon Apr 04, 2005 1:20 pm

Is anyone on the forums a fan of Merzbow? I've been interested to hear some of his stuff for a long time, but seeing as his CDs are virtually impossible to find here in New Zealand I was thinking about ordering some in. I know he has a ridiculous amount of albums, so I was hoping that someone could give me some recommendations on the better ones to purchase.

By the way, hi everyone. I was going to introduce myself in the introduction thread, but I couldn't think of anything to say that didn't sound corny. I may go back and have another try later on.

Oh, you've got a few "japan-noize" fans here on the board....

I've seen Merzbow twice actually. Once with Zeni Geva, once with Somania. Good stuff...

HS, good luck fleeing Dunedin, I made it out of Dauckland aways back.

Thats the only one I've heard and I don't recommend it.

It sounded like an aeroplane was trying to taxi out through my speakers.

Still, I read somewhere his more recent stuff is better; less harsh, more ambient.... although, yes, "better" is subjective...

Recently, I've been getting into Flying Testicle which is a band that includes Merzbow and Masonna.

Beck, Sonic Youth and most recently Faust have all hand picked Masonna to open for their Japanese appearances.


Masonna opening for Beck ?! That must have been quite a shock for those Beck fans.
