First released in 2012 on Japanese label YOUTH INC. (株式会社ユース) as a 10xCD Box and long time sold out.
After 13 years this completely re-mastered Super-Merz-Sonik album is finally going to be re-released on OEC!
The MERZPHYSICS set features previously unreleased recordings from 1993 to 1995, focusing on pure noise made before the introduction of synthesizers and other electronic instruments.
The noise is described as being linked to grindcore, having a sense of speed, and was recorded live to cassette.
MERZPHYSICS might be considered to be a sequel to Merzbient, which also features unreleased vintage cassette recordings.
As with some of the tracks on Merzbient also the titles on MERZPHYSICS are taken from cassette brands like:
AXIA PS by Fujifilm; GPX, Metal CD's and UD by Maxell; CDix, GIG and UX by Sony.
Multilayered pure noise that pretty much defines the genre.
The pleasure in records like MERZPHYSICS is to get amongst the layers to tease out the sounds, to squeeze below the levels of aggression to find its beating heart....
A supreme master-work by the supreme master of Japanoise!
