MERZBOW - Timehunter, Ant Zen

Copies back into stock of this bizzarely packaged Merzbow rarity courtesy of the good folk at Ant-Zen. Timehunter is a set of four 3-inch CDs filled with new concepts in digital noise textures, comes bound in a handsome black 'day planner' binder, complete with a calendar and various bits of information useful to those on the go. Akita notes that Timehunter originally began as an exercise working in the dynamics of 2002's Merzbeat, perhaps the most accessible and rhythmically structured album in the massive Merzbow catalog. 'Timehunter' features deconstructed beats which I took from 70s hard rock stuff like Omega, Golden Earring, Spontaneous Combustion, Alamo,' he explains. 'Also I tried mixing these destructed breakbeats with heavy guitar drone.' 'Warhorse' is the fierce terrorism of Merzbow's new digital sound, where seismic bass explosions provide the foundation for metal sound streams that quiver in a cloud of static hum. After the onslaught of 'Warhorse' comes a respite in the form of 'Space Trackin' and 'Ramatam' on the second CD. For the third CD, Merzbow borrows a page from Merzbeat and Muslimgauze, cranking out a positively danceable jungle noise jam on 'Conga,' adorning an unrelenting tribal rhythm with glitching accoutrements. 'CD Hunter' bristles with the energy of barely-controlled digital and guitar noise, where sound artifacts begrudgingly conform to Merzbow's scathing beat patterns, which themselves seem locked into a time sequence that goes against their fractured sonic signature."
