Shared Systems 有限 This album is easily one of Merzbow's most underrated releases. next to Merzbeat, I think this is probably my second favorite. Colorful, full of texture, noisy, fun, jazzy and unpredictable. Favorite track: Lyons Wake.

MERZILLA Zany blown apartness begins with The Intro & Tony Williams Deathspace & continues into silly bunk!! Jimmy Elins In Traffic is franticcorybantic!! Lyon's Wake forsakes electric's complete murder!! Door Open lays branded, all sizzled. Metro & Bus F'n modulatin' modulators, bonkers as a mutherfucker...& Africa Brass Session Vol. 2's blippity selfifty sessions into blastastic blasting plue. Orgiastic noiseiastic love! Lyons 2 Mix & Concret Mix (Bonus) =Vrandtastic Soundexplosion. Prepossessing!

Favorite track: Lyons 2 Mix (Bonus Track).

kato09 I love this album, too underrated in Merzbow's discography.
Full of jazz influences taken to the extreme by the analog sounds of the EMS VCS3/Synthi A, Moog Rogue and a Theremin. Favorite track: The Africa Brass Session Vol.2.

Dan Otto / Don Henson Merzbow has released 72, soon to be 78, Archival releases over the last few years. All amazing. All individual. This "Archival" reissue of a classic is a real treat. A very rhythmic release. With quite simple loop manipulation Masami creates a noise symphony from the strangled ashes of classic jazz. A tour de force! Favorite track: Metro and Bus.
