The eagerly awaited reissue of Merzbow's seminal album "Mercurated", originally released on CD by Alchemy Records (1996). The new double vinyl edition features a remaster by James Plotkin, whose expertise breathes new life into the Japanoise milestone, revealing the intricate layers hidden within Masami Akita's amazing sound work.
In this reimagined format, the album presents 'Electricwatersheep' divided into two distinct sections. This piece is a hallmark of Merzbow's chaotic yet meticulously crafted style, showcasing his prowess in noise electronics through an electrifying mix of metal performances and a diverse array of filters. 'Semisolid Mass 1-3' is a brand new bonus track exclusive to this vinyl release, expanding upon the album's already rich sonic palette with a uniquely disorienting atmosphere. 'Tree Of Kusukusu' envelops the listener in a phantasmagoric soundscape crafted from bowed metals and the eerie tones of the Ems Synthi 'a', all accentuated by meticulous filtering techniques. The album closes with 'Surfactant', a quintessential Merzbow composition with its interplay of metal and electronic noise converges.
Ltd x 299 copies in a gatefold sleeve with the beautiful original artwork designed by Masami Akita being transferred over, and additional design work by Masahiko Ohno (Solmania).
