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.

Tonight at 7ET on @wmbr: brand new Merzbow, plus Conrad Schnitzler, Sachiko M, Acid Mothers Temple, and more.

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

Since I was so annoyed by the incomplete Merzbow Mercurated double LP reissue on #Urashima, I found a not too expensive used CD instead (at least a lot cheaper than the LP, including shipping).
I find that extreme harsh noise sounds better on CD most of the time anyway, and this is really some of Merzbow's more brutal work.
Also, the LP version seems to lack the shininess of the CD cover.

#NowPlaying #Smegma Turns out, the best #Merzbow is when he’s mixing someone else’s music and vice versa. https://helicopter.bandcamp.com/album/plays

#Smegma & #Merzbow together again! They have another release together that I know of but I’ve never heard, I’d like to.. I’m excited to give a listen to these two legends who inhabit the same sound space but work with that space in radically different ways. https://helicopter.bandcamp.com/album/xciii
