Favorite Merzbow album/Favorite Masonna Album

littlepriest · 11.01.2011, 11:57 PM

For those of you that like Merzbow, what's your favorite album/collaboration? Although I listen to 1930 the most, I prefer Pulse Demon. I can't say that that answer is definitive, because I haven't listened to everything he's released.

Another thing: Those of you who like Masonna, what's you favorite album of his? I'd say Ejaculation Generater is mine, because I can't fucking get tired of it.

If you feel like it, compare and contrast the two artists, or if you don't, don't. Whatever.

1930 is fucking sweet. But other than that...I've only listened to a few CD's off Merzbox and Brain Death Ticket was awesome as well as Marfan Syndrome.

And the collab with Richard Pinhas. The track Shibuya Aks....amazing.

EVOLghost · 11.02.2011, 12:55 AM

Oh yeah...and Merzbeat too...It's neat.

I love Annica and Sphere. Lovely shit.

Also SYR8.

MERZBOW - Pulse Demon, Merzbeat, Frog+ and the split w/ Bastard Noise

I honestly don't think I've ever listened to a full Masonna album before. Hmph.

Genteel Death · 11.02.2011, 02:41 PM

Masonna - Vestal Spacy Ritual/ John Peel Sessions/ Split with Violent Onsen Geisha/ Anything he's done with Acid Eater

I only own a physical copy of Pulse Demon, and its a bit too much for me to be honest. Ive listened to a few others and the one i enjoyed most was Vibractance just cos it throbs a little bit more. I dont really like that vicious end of things that the most famous Japanese artists tend to trade in, and Merzbow is a bit stark from what ive listened to. Incapacitants are fun, and Government Alpha have done some stuff ive enjoyed, but theres something about Japanoise i dont think i "get"

When it comes to Merzbow, I find my mood dictates the albums I enjoy most. I was first introduced to Merzbow in the mid 80's when his tracks would appear on compilation albums. 'Merzbuddah' and 'Synth Destruction' with Carlos Giffoni are the two I've pressed play on most often over the past couple of months.

For those who find it hard to stomach anything Merzbow, I highly suggest the collaboration with Richard Pinhas......truly an amazing listen!

I'm guessing this is for the most disciplined of listeners

Yes....it is. And I can't possibly thank you enough to include Shibuya Aks in the Merztape....seriously.....I must've listened to that tape SOOOOOOO fucking much solely to listen to that beautiful 20+ minute track which is so fucking astonishingly beautiful that I just don't want to listen to anything after that piece is played....

But yeah....as of right now. MY two favorite releases atm are 1930(STILL!!!!), this fucking album is fucking tits. The title track, degradation of tapes, and Iron, glass....blahsldhalshdhas are too good of tracks.

Other than that....I've been on Kibbutz. gonna give it another go today after work

Masonna- Shinsen Na Clitoris
Merzbow- Merzbear

EVOLghost · 12.18.2012, 03:29 AM

I haven't listened to Masonna...

batreleaser · 12.18.2012, 08:14 AM

i havent listened to either of those guys in years, i always like merz's "annihoscilator" and masonna's "inner mind mystique"

i like merz's collab with smell and quim too

hypertonic · 12.19.2012, 08:51 PM

Merzbow - I think the be all is Merzbear, but these are good:

-Merzbear
-Pulse Demon
-Liquid City
-13 Japanese Birds series
-Pornoise series
-Merzbient

As someone said on here before, theres alot of interesting variation in his material, not just strait harsh noise all the time. some drumming too and lots of "pulsing" hah

GOT DAMN!

After listening through headphones, I honestly can't say I've ever experienced silence like I did after listening to this....

EVOLghost · 12.21.2012, 11:19 AM

I imagine the universe ripping itself apart must sound like Merzbow....
