Merzbeat (Remastered)

by Merzbow

supported by

isabelle easily my favourite album ever, insanely great psychedelic noise with a wonderfully varied set of tracks that all have their own unique sound to them. and i also love minazo :) Favorite track: Looping Jane (Beat Mix).

MERZILLA Pulchritudinous beat filled chaos that brings enraptured glee. Bring it! Favorite track: Shadow Barbarian (Long Mix).

alicedreadfuls Easily the most accessible record by Merzbow, featuring some of the most beautifully constructed psychedelic ambience with noise rock influenced loops layered over. Some songs are very danceable and catchy, but others are cathartic experiences just like any great Merz album should! The tribute art to Mizano is very fitting for an album like this, too!! Favorite track: Tadpole.

Pulse Demon is a great harsh noise album that paved the way for the genre. Not only was it ground breaking but was also different at the time, this is why I respect the album so heavily. Cool Hand Luke

Black Crows Cyborg
by Merzbow / Prurient

supported by 33 fans who also own “Merzbeat (Remastered)”

The darkness of this album along with its name is not nonsense, but has a lot to do with what you are going to find when you listen to it. A perfect ambience that gives you chills just trying to imagine what the "Black Crow Cyborg" coming towards you would be like. Two legends together on the same LP, you can't ask for more, LISTEN IT NOW! kato09
