Merzbow

Mechanization Takes Command (2cd)

First released on tape by Masami Akita on his own ZSF label in 1983, this is the FIRST ever release on CD, 40 years after its conception! A very special and historical album. A large part of the sounds on this album have an analogue origin. Masami plays drums (?) and guitar (?)... But also many other instruments and sound-sources such as TV and vocal samples, and of course electronics, loops, effects, drum-machines... The initial parts have a very freaky, late '70s, psychedelic and prog touch, mixed to a sort of improvised free jazz sound. The whole is slowly turning into strong Godzilla-Japanoise as we are used by Merzbow - to evolve further into a sort of very pulsating and tribal future-modern-dance muzak! In one word: MERZBOW!
