Sorry for the lack of information, but could > someone tell me more about this. this is the second release off of the NYC-based label, Beat Furrer, the first being the "Dain Bramage/Storm" 12" also from Traficc, which is even noisier than the one you have, of which both sides are untitled btw. i haven't been able to find any info on the internet on this label, but the guy at the record shop said they're both self-released... btw, Traficc's stuff kinda calls to mind Merzbow's new-ish "1930" (Tzadik) - which is sparser, not too thick, and like Traficc, minimal pulse oriented. i quite like this new direction Merzbow seems to be taking (actually, i haven't heard "Tauromachine" yet, but it'll be in my mailbox soon i hope), which i guess isn't all that new, since i can see it having some strange affinities with Merzbow's early 80's output. btw, anyone want to buy my copy of "Metalvelodrome"?...i could really use the 100 or so bucks, though, parting with it would be very painful for me... eric mw.
