It is absolutely mind-boggling how this guy manages to put sooooo much stuff out. I was in a record shop the other day, and saw three new releases by
him, and they were probably only a handful of what has come out this year!
Electric Salad is more of a movement, than a batch of songs. Interesting
cover photo taken, apparently in some kind of sex museum. The back cover
shot looks like his bedroom. Three tracks total: Prologue, Electric Salad,
and Metallic Fever Echo.
Prologue sort of gives you a chance to get your
brain ready for the title piece, which at 60 minutes in length, will test
not only your will-power, but your speakers as well. Metallic Fever Echo is
ten more minutes of shifting, throbbing noise, that will make your landlord
knock on your door. “You okay in there?"

Merzbow (AKA Masmi Akita) is the composer of noise, spear-headed in Japan by Masonna, Aube, the Incapacitants, Hanatarash, Solmania, Violent Onsen
Geisha, Love & Sincerity, and himself.
It is an excellent way to blow expand
a persons mind who’s sick of emo, rave, punk, rap-metal, or anything else.
Totally free of melody and structure, noise is the final frontier of
recorded sound, and you could knock down a few buildings with this.
