This Merzbow album is the second in the series of Music for Bondage
Performances. As a result is includes material much in the same vein as the
it's predecessor, a collection of new material along with material previously
released only on Japansese bondage CD-ROM's. Both sets of material are very
different from the usual collection of raw black noise and feedback of which
Masami Akita is so very fond. Instead the tracks are indeed very listenable
even to a lay person unfamiliar with previous Merboz material. There is great
deal more focus on layered percussion and pitchshifting rather than the jarring
rush of feedback. As a result this is probably one of my favorite Merzbow
releases because it can actually be listened to in background while performing
other tasks without it becoming a nuisance or an earsore rather quickly with is
a definite bonus.
