Not the greatest Merzbow release but it has its moments. The 1st track is probably the best overall sounding track on the release. It starts very quite and then slowly cascades into the typical loud sound of rumbles. Akashiman is the loudest track on the disc and has a great distorted loop to finish the track off. The 3rd track is neat and goes along the lines of Merzbows releases "Door Open At 8AM" and "Necromancer". The final track is one that had to grow on me. The first 14 minutes are great and show the talented side of Merzbow with his glitch out noise shots. Then for the final 17 minutes you have this long long long loud drone that barely changes, except for the pitch. Its great to hear but it can piss you off because you almost want it to end, but you cant, you have to hear it all.
