How did this album get to such an iconic status?

weird cover art

Yeah definitely the cover art. The music's good, but far from best Merz

It's horrible

>>69158665
p4k and the cover art

>>69158665
it's mostly the cover art but it's also probably his most "noise" album. Not that it's good, or even his best but when I think of random noise I think of that album.

It's weird, I've listen to more collabs than albums by Merzbow itself. I don't really know were to start with him, but his collabs are uniques, most of them solid and with talented musicians.

>>69163805
I loved this one. Didn't know about Merzbow until Sakata collaborated with him on this.

>>69163831
I discovered about him with the Pulse Demon memery, and realized the amount of collabs he had with a few artists I knew. The guy is crazy as fuck, he has too much music.

>>69163853
Yeah...I don't have the heart to root through it all. Quality > Quantity.

Most of his collabs are fantastic, though

>>69158783
>HAHAHAHA GUYS LISTEN, NOISE IS NOT MUSIC!! HEY AM I COOL YET!???

I rarely see this mentioned anywhere, it's one of his best imho

It's not. It's Noise. Please come back when you've learned Industrial Basics 101.

Pitchfork, iconic cover, and luck of the draw.
>>69158736
It's not as bad as people make it out to be. But have one of my favorites.

>Noise music is a category of music that is characterised by the expressive use of noise within a musical context.

>>69158665
It got included for free with a bunch of magazines, and marketing, and the amazing cover art, and how pure the noise is.

You're a stoopid fuck. You're a you're a stoopid fuck. Cut yourself you little goth homo.

>>69163564
it's like supermarket own brand loveless

>>69158665
listening to this at low volumes is like being wrapped in a soft blanket of noise
