A new day, another 30 year old Merzbow release: Oersted. This one is even more synth-heavy, which yesterday I said I didn't necessarily care for all that much. And even if this is not as fierce as Magnesia Nova and drags on a bit at times, I must say, I enjoy this much more now than last time I listened to it. Which is good, because those Urashima reissues were/are pretty expensive (although the quality is stellar).

I have a somewhat complicated relationship with Merzbow's synth-driven releases, but listening to The Magnesia Nova vinyl reissue just now, makes me think I need to reevaluate my opinions, because it sounds better than ever. In fact, it sounds utterly great.

Listening to Amlux, by #Merzbow. Awesome guitar dirges with moments of near-tactile granular noise grey-outs and digital erosion. I struggle to do it justice.

Merzbow and John Wiese are doing amazing work together. Here's why I think it works... Wiese is like a virtuoso of noise. He's almost too on top of things. The Merzbow strength, in my opinion, is a kind of kitchen-sink approach and a total absense of technique and even judgement of what he's doing (that's how I hear it, anyway). Together, though I think Wiese dominates, there is a pretty effective balance.

“Usually, I panic and put on literal noise. Thank God, after all, for Merzbow.“
Made my day 😅 although I prefer the classics like Varèse and Schaeffer.

Okay, I had to try. This is actually quite nice. Better than I remember. I might even like this more than some of his more synth-driven 90s albums. Got to love loops and frogs. And the cover is just beautiful.

"Merzbow "Frog" Remixed And Revisited" revisited for the first time in about 20 years (probably).
I should probably give the Frog LP another chance too, but I actually think this is more worthwhile than the original album. In addition to good experimental/noise tracks, there are two very fine and heavy tracks from Sunn O))) and Boris (20 minutes!) playing on top of Merzbow's sounds.

Listening to this metallic nightmare. I consider this the Hybrid Noisebloom of the #Merzbow pre-synth era. Very prickly, scrapy album, but rich in “worldbuilding.”
-
Try as I might, I can't really expand my #Merzbow listening pool beyond five or six albums. Just ignoring the other 430 or whatever. The ones I like sound different every time anyway.

#Merzbow set-up. Mainly of interest to me right now because I’m eyeing the same mixing board.

#Upcoming Originally released in 1996, “The Prosperity of Vice, the Misfortune of Virtue” by #Merzbow was the soundtrack to a Japanese theatre piece based on the sexually uninhibited novels of Marquis de Sade where Masami Akita aimed to create an atmosphere of intensity beyond crushing walls of noise. Available via @room40, May 9th. https://room40.bandcamp.com/album/the-prosperity-of-vice-the-misfortune-of-virtue
