Performer: Merzbow
Distributor: RED Distribution Notes: Merzbow includes: Masami Akita (voice, EMS, noise electronics, audio generator, tapes, shortwave, noise electronics, metals). Personnel: Masami Akita (tapes). Recording information: ZSF Produkt Studio (11/1995). Merzbow's second American release offers more of the deafening white noise that is his trademark, mastered for maximum loudness. Not for the faint of heart, but ideally suited for the hard of hearing. ~ Jason Ankeny
Alternative Press (2/97, p.65) - 4 (out of 5) - "...Forget songs; this is about texture. PULSE DEMON's eight tracks range from the three-and-a-half minute `Woodpecker #2' to the near half-hour of `Worms Plastic Earthbound.' Grating, high-pitched frequencies and low-cycle rumblings abound....Dive in, or run screaming."
Merzbow, aka Masami Akita, is one of the most important figures in the Japanese noise music movement. Releasing an astounding amount of work since the early 1980s, Merzbow's sound is a brutal amalgamation of electronically generated screeches, squeals, and drones that while certainly not accessible in any traditional sense is often beautifully entrancing in its unrelenting brutality. Skewing convention on every creative level, Merzbow released the enormous 50-CD box set MERZBOX in 2000.
