When it comes to Japanese noise, few projects have pushed boundaries or risen to a more iconic status than Merzbow. The project's blistering sounds are among the movement's most important, definitive statements, continuously laying the groundwork for countless artists who have followed in its wake.

Originally released by ZSF Produkt (1990), "Cloud Cock OO Grand" marked a new era for Merzbow, the first of many CDs that went in the direction we'd see in the '90s. This the first time that this seminal document from Merzbow's '90s period has ever appeared on vinyl. Composed and performed on synthesizers, metal devices, noise electronics and string instruments, all recorded at extreme volumes, "Cloud Cock OO Grand" is an enthralling sonic assault, deeply driven by the presence of electronic sounds, played against the sparse interjections of Akita's heavily processed strings, that push toward new territories of the extreme, while subtly nodding toward historical gestures from the early years of the avant-garde.

On the double vinyl, the tracks are not only remastered by Merzbow, but are recontextualized and open up a new sense of his studio experimentation at the time. "Cloud Cock OO Grand" is a stunning feat of remarkable importance within the genre of noise, delivering this long unavailable masterstroke back into our hands, while further illuminating the project's crucial work from the 1990's.

Ltd x 299 copies on double vinyl, with a cover that faithfully reproduces the original CD artwork. Includes an A2 poster with original 1990 drawing by Masami Akita.
