Reissue of the self-produced cassette (Ltd 100) from 1994 on Kiyoshi Mizutani's own Ulcer House label. The album includes five long compositions based on textured noises, metallic percussion, feedback and electronics. Mizutani was a member of Merzbow in the '80s, and has made solo works since 1990.
"With Merzbow, Mizutani was the guitarist, and I always assumed (but am not sure of) this is also his preferred instrument in solo work, next to sound effects. But, somehow, I also believe he uses field recordings or objects and contact microphones. The first piece, 'A Calm', is such a piece that sounds to me as if he's scraping contact microphones over rusty shovels and feeding that a bunch of sound effects. Interestingly enough, in none of the five pieces, Mizutani sounds like Merzbow, save perhaps for the feedback orgy of 'Parasite'. ... Mizutani's music sounds like an exploration of acoustic sounds drifting into an electronic world. One could say that this is electroacoustic music, but Mizutani adds an element of improvisation" (Vital Weekly).
