merzbow: noisembryo/noise matrix

Noisembryo definitively presented here with bonus disc titled Noise Matrix including unreleased material from the same sessions as Noisembryo and counterpart Hole and selected recording from the time period. The bonus disc alone makes this essential for any Merzbow fanatic as well as new listeners. When people ask where to start with Merzbow, this is the answer. The holy grail, not only of Merzbow's obsessive discography, but of the entire '90s noise movement. You've heard the stories surrounding the infamy of this release, but beyond that stands the depth and wild energy over two decades later that Noisembryo encapsulates. Velocity loops, roving automotive bass, and cacophonic drum machine gel together with the surprising inclusion of a sound rarely heard within Merzbow's many years... Masami Akita's own voice. Akita's surrealism of the past stands prominently relevant to this day. The original Noisembryo on disc one; disc two, Noise Matrix, includes: Track 1 - taken from original DAT tape which including Noisembryo recording on 1994; Track 2-5 - taken from original DAT tape which including Noise Matrix (in Hole) on 1994; Track 6 - a track recorded on 1995 for releasing Eskimo compilation; Track 7 - taken from original cassette tape which recorded on 1994 and remixed on 2019.
