IMPORTANT (Please read to avoid confusion):
Some items below may be tagged with a bold, red, all-caps "out of print/unavailable" notice. This does NOT mean that all other items not so tagged are, in fact, in stock -- or for that matter, in print and available, though there's a good chance they are. Some folks get confused on this point, and we can see why, so please read this for further clarification and other important before-you-order information. Unlike some mailorder websites, we don't have an electronic inventory system linked to our site, so you can't be sure of what we actually have or don't have in stock at any given moment without asking us -- please email our mailorder department for availability status -- or better yet, just go ahead and place your order using our shopping cart function and we'll get back to you with the status of each item. If you have general non-mailorder questions, email the store.


album cover MERZBOW Hard Lovin' Man (Anoema) cd 15.98
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
Possibly the first deconstruction (re: remix) effort from Akita-san (unless you count that disc supposedly based on free jazz drumming?). Yes, that fragment of guitar you'll hear looped and processed on "Hard Lovin' Man" is that of Ritchie Blackmore, from the 1970 LP "Deep Purple In Rock". But really this sounds more Kevin Shields than Blackmore, as Akita's original studio piece (recorded in his Bed Room Studio on October 5, 2000) is a twenty minute hypnotic beast rich in texture and dynamics. Brutally punishing, but so beautiful as well. The subsequent forty-two minute live track which opens the disc (recorded October 11, 2000 at the Avanto Festival in Helsinki, Finland) expands on the piece, adding real time effects and manipulation. More harsh and destructive than the original Bed Room piece. It seems Akita's move into the digital realm has opened new doors and endless possibilites for the King Of Noise. A very rare sparkling gem in the extremely vast oeuvre of Merzbow. Absolutely fucking gorgeous. Seriously.
