If you have any questions about discogs feel free to ask, I'll try to help.

How I rate:
1 - Awful: I like nothing about the release
2 - Below average: might have an OK track or two.
3 - A good release, but quite average for the genre. I like it though.
4 - Very Good, above average. I like it a lot
5 - Excellent: releases with no, or very few, weak moments.

Merzbow - Electro Magnetic Unit - 16-Jan-05 07:19 AM
This CD was released to commemorate 10th anniversary of a small record shop in Tokyo called Los Apson?. Since its released by the shop, I doubt the CD will be widely distributed.
As far as Merzbows recent releases go, this is one of his more ambient. Four long tracks (Black Forest Myth Mix 1-4) of monotone, droning noise - mostly made of what sounds like guitar feedback and laptop.

Merzbow & Ladybird - Balance - 11-Jan-05 02:34 AM
Three records in one!
Merzbow on the left channel, Ladybird on the right channel, and a mix of the two when played in stereo.
An interesting idea, but unfortunately not very successful.
Both the Merzbow and Ladybird tracks are good when played alone, however I have a little trouble listening to this realese in stereo, it basically sounds like cheesy synth-disco with a bit of noise on top.
