'what the fuck is that crap?!?!' he clearly didn't like it & screamed to get his metal back. but the comment he made was completely cryptic: 'this isn't music! it sounds like when you're alone in a forest!' unfortunately, we have no clue yet as to what forest it is where you can hear merzbow-like sounds among the wind-clapped branches & the birds. -- david
