Merzbow - " Yantra Material Action " (Lowest Music and Artists Records) 1982

Linkthe non-music on this C-46,is a more laid back version of Merzbow from the early eighties. Plenty of manipulated tape loops, detuned guitars, DIY drumming, and knob twiddling; all inevitably fed through a bank of curcuit bending effects. Some sounds a lot like a badly tuned Shortwave Radio routed through a marshall stack, and others like a bubbling electronic soup boiling over on gas mark 9.
If you like the sound of a red hot skewer inserted into your temporal lobe then this is for you. A fine sonic interpretation of the Human animal, a kind of ethnic industrial folk for the tribes of the 21st century.

Recorded at various locations, 1981.
Mixed at Junktion Music Works, 1981.

Hi, longtime reader, first time commenter here.

Thanks for these three rips. I like noise, but the sheer quantity of Merzbow out there has always put me off delving in. Plus, most posters don't have anything interesting to say about the music.

You do, and you've sold me on trying these out.

Many thanks for the compliment Johnny Jewel. I hope the noise lives up to the hype. I reccommend almost anything by Merzbow in the 'Noise' idiom.Thanks for the support.
