This release rises above the average Merzbow material in terms of hardness and harshness by more than just a few levels, and is certainly one of the most firmly over-compressed productions of all time.

This release is what I use as an example of non-mainstream music. It is wonderful, powerful and awe-inspiring. I have never heard anything louder. Compression works miracles. A must have, if you listen to noise.
