about

The sixth of Merzbow Archive series features material from 1993-1995. This period saw the production and release of some of Merzbow's most well-known and highly regarded works, including "Metalvelodrome", "Noisembryo", "Hole", "Venereology" and "Pulse Demon". These masterpieces have been actively reissued in recent years. For this series, DAT masters were used for all the works, rather than the cassette masters that have been used for most of the previous series, and they have been newly remastered. The DAT masters are of higher quality than cassette masters because the cassette is used as a mother tape and has been edited as a finished product. As a result, the works in this series, including the small pieces, are tightly organized in terms of development, even if they are performed over a long time.
As the title suggests, this is piece collection of many short tracks. Including tracks from compilations of the time and unreleased material. "Phillo-Jazz Grind" is a integrated track of separate tracks originally named "Phillo Jazz pt3-pt5".
The second disc of "Metalvelodrome" is also piece collection, suggesting that he had many opportunities to make small pieces for 7" and compilations during this period. Several tracks, such as the first track "G-Rider," which samples Suicide's "Ghost Rider" and adds a layer of destructive noise to it, incorporate samples of existing songs and instruments into the performance, creating a catabolic effect in the distorted bursts of noise.

While still sounding harsh a lot of the time, this will not obliterate you like other Merzbow releases. Steady elements give a noob like me something to cling to amidst the chaos. Hans

にぎやかでファジーな音を立てるドローンブリーツと1SESSマシントランクサーキットのきしむ音、そして冷たいウォッカの上に銅板のスクラバーを使った金属製のスクリーチで、銅板のスクラバーを使って、広範囲に渡るプトゥープーオス、ゴムの光子爆発。正美、ありがとう！ Buzzing, fuzzy-schwooshing drone-bleats and squelchy 1AESS machine trunk circuit squeaks, and ample interspersing ptuoo-ptuoos, barbled tympany, rubber photon explosions with copper sheet scrubbers over ice cold vodka drenched metallic screech. Thank you, Masami! MERZILLA
