Who wants it? Anyone got one?

 

[BC]

i have listened to the whole bloody thing. i most certainly do not want one. a mate of mine gave it away to a charity shop down in ennis, ho ho.

the book looks nice though. i discovered after listening to about 300 merzbow albums that there are three that i think are good.

i'd rather go deaf

I thought about it for a minute and passed.

Anyone got one so I can borrow it? I'd like it but don't fancy forking out $500 for it.

 

[Gambra]

Actually, seriously doesnyone have it? Or know where to get it on MP3? I really want it now..

I've heard of it being available in its entirety as a Bit Torrent. Probably one of the more specialist Torrent search engines (isohunt doesn't have it)

soulseek and room search "merzbow" in the "noise" room.

the best moments are "material action 2" and "brain ticket death".

• Earth

to be honest, the only merzbow albums that you need (if that kind of thing is your bag) are "dharma" and "sleeper awakes on the edge of abyss" (with christoph heemann). the latter sounds nothing like merzbow, its a really spaceous peaceful album (like the more washed out parts of aphex twin's ambient works 2). the former is the best album merzbow has done. it is noise, and pretty full on, but unlike most of his other releases, its quite varied and very well constructed. the first track off it - "i'm coming to the garden..." - is his finest moment of noise, and achieves more successfully in five minutes than what the entire merzbox fails to do in about 60 hours.

jesus, haven't been in here in about a year. anyway ...

... (haven't heard the heemann collab but ...) i'd also recommend amlux (probably my favourite merzbow) and sphere. 1930, a taste of merzbow and merzbuddha are decent enough too. didn't really like merzbuddha at first (first impressions: promised a lot and only delivered some noise + lazy beats) but it really grew on me after a few listens. sun baked snow cave - the boris collab from last year - is pretty cool too. also, the two o))) bow tracks on sunn o)))'s flight of the behemoth are amazing. the new john wiese collab looks interesting too.
i'd love to own the merzbox but don't have a spare 500 squids lying around unfortunately. is it even still available? would've thought it was long sold out

 

[BC]

it's still available. dd, i'll send you copies of the heemann collab and "dharma". they are pretty awesome.

deadly ... cheers brian (i have dharma already ... probably my 2nd favourite merzbow after amlux)
