I'm posting this for my friend Cris X, since he's not on the forum and not too familiar with the internets .
Label description :
"Second official release from CX records, Italy. "Guya" new and unreleased track from the master of japanese noise Masami Akita, 18 minutes of noise bliss, a powerful sonic trip structured by feedbacks, digital and analog electronics. A devastating masterpiece.
3 new tracks recorded, composed and mixed in Berlin, Rome and Tokyo by Cris X/Cristiano Luciani in collaboration with underground japanese musicians, Keiko Higuchi (vocals, piano, lyrics) and Sachiko (vocals, electronics): a dark and visionary journey through espressionist ambient atmospheres, electronic and vocals experimentations.
White vinyl limited edition 300 copies."
I must say Merzbow's side is ok, if a bit "mild". Slow digital loops + analog harsh noise.
I mistakenly played it at 45rpm and it gains in strength a bit.
Cris X's side is more interesting, i can vouch for his hard and extra-picky work in composition.
