Dead-Air continues to have the best posts on this board...
Anyway, just wanted to say: Merzbow can be pretty hit or miss and some of his stuff may just seem like directionless static, but he actually has a lot of creativity involves in his music, lots of texture... very powerful shit. Some of his material is just exceptional, the best around. Some of it, not so much. I'm just saying, dunno how much Merz you've heard, but he may have some better material than what you heard. I've listened to and enjoyed the entire Merzbox, so I'm probably not the best judge of quality when it comes to his stuff.
That last Black Dice record was pretty dancey, my friend Toby told me that he played it at a party a few weeks ago and people were kinda dancing around to it, stoned. I bet that was a sight.
