Merzbow trainspotters might want to keep an eye out for their contribution to the _Trax 0983_ compilation LP, a project from ~ '83/'84 which featured various noise artists doing national anthems, real and imagined. Their track (Akita & H. Kawagishi) essentially sounds like a New Order/Factory tribute. Dunno what was going through their minds at the time (2/83- by contrast, _Material Action 2 NAM_ circa '82 is the typical early Merzbow junk loops), but it's certainly an unusual (and quite danceable) sidebar. Comp also features P16.D4, DDAA, Renaldo and the Loaf, Naif Orchestra, etc... "the usual suspects." I guess you know if you need it. -rob np: Soluble Fish- _Sound Cues_ (excellent album)
