A weak finish to this box set. Two tracks worth listening to.
Category Archives: 3. Loop & Collage
CD17 – Antimonument Tapes
A solid album with great diversity and a layered sound collage you can keep re-visiting.
CD16 – Jinrinkinmouzui
Deep into Merzbow’s archive with one alternative mix and four B sides of unreleased material. Jinrinkinmouzui was enjoyable, Ugly Radio was an ordeal.
CD15 – Batztoutai Mix
Two revisits to pieces we’ve heard before. This is dada collage at peak mastery, but ultimately not the type of noise I personally enjoy.
CD14 – Antimony
Incredible first track and an interesting collection of three untitled pieces round out Antimony.
CD13 – Agni Hotra (2nd Mix)
A terrific start to the third box. Interesting loop based industrial tracks and some fresh unreleased material. Promising for the rest of the period.
