Definitiv einer der verrücktesten & monumentalsten Veröffentlichungen in der Geschichte der experimentellen Musik, jetzt auf Lager! 50 CDs, alle im Vollfarb-Cover, aufgenommen 1979 bis 1997, inklusiver viele längst vergessener Cassetten-Veröffentlichungen, fünf nicht mehr erhältlicher früher LPs und anderem ultra-raren Zeug, plus 20 CDs mit ganz neuem Material. Kommt mit "interaktiver" CD-ROM, Merzdallion, Merzshirt, Merzcards, Merzstickers, Merzposter, das ganze eingepackt in ein Merzcase-Latex Gewand. Nummerierte Auflage 1000 Stück. Wegen des günstigen Dollar-Kurses zur Zeit billig wie nie!!! (..und es soll tatsächlich Leute geben, so wie FRANS DE WAARD, die sich wirklich alle 50 CDs angehört haben.. )
"Fifty CDs providing as many hours of Merzbow noise music. The collection spans from 1979 to 1997, 18 years of sonic decomposition. Many of the titles were only available as cassettes and have long since been deleted. Five LPs and a CD, which were originally released in limited numbers and have since been deleted, are now reissued in the Merzbox. Also included are 20 discs that have previously never been released. All CDs have four color cover labels, featuring new Merzbow artwork. All CDs are exclusive to the Merzbox." Comes with an interactive CD-Rom, Merzdallion, Merzshirt, Merzcards, Merzstickers, Merzposter, all wrapped up in a "fetish-rubber" Merzcase." [label info]
"This box set is one of the most valuable pieces of art to come across this world during the 1900s. No artist has come close to releasing a 50 CD Box Set.
The 1979-1984 era takes some getting use to as Merzbow likes to draw out 2 second loops for 10-20 minutes at a time, but the material is still interesting and the use of drums is noticed a lot in these works.
Era 1985-1990 show what was to come in the future of Merzbow as he takes his noise to a whole new level. Tracks start to increase in volume and the material becomes more defined.
Era 1991-1997 show us what made him a legend in the noise industry. Masamis use of pedals and other sound sources becomes increasingly more complex and the artwork shows that Jenny (his wife) has now become involved in his works.
The box set comes with a medallion that actually creates an illusion when you move it from side to side, very cool. This box set is a long listen, but well worth the price. As it notes in the Merzbook, you must listen to this from the first CD to the last CD in order to get the full picture of the legend of Merzbow." [anonymous review on DISCOGS]
