Got this bad boy from Volcanic Tongue. It's a reissue of a cassette tape from 1987. Three tracks: first one is Merzbow, second is Haters, third is a showdown between the two. This is the recording that Thurston mentions in the poem liner notes to his Sensitive/Lethal disk. And I'm wont to agree with Thurston on this one, it is indeed 'thee quintessential.'
The Haters track in particular is sublime. Really gorgeous yet destructive noise. I think it's one of the most beautifully crafted slabs of noise/drone I ever heard. Monolithic enough to nod out to yet plenty of minimal subtleties to keep part of yr consciousness engaged. It also furthers my theory that GX-Jupiter Larson is a genius.
So yeh, I cannae recommend this one enough.
Anyone else into this?
