Merzbow – Aqua Necromancer LP

115th release by legendary cult Japanese noise artist Merzbow, aka Masami Akita. One of his more dynamic releases, on Aqua Necromancer Akita employs the use of sampled drums (lifted from the likes Soft Machine, L’Orme and others).

From the super beat-heavy Contrapuntti Indian to Farsa del Buen Vivir, the most listener-friendly Merzbow track ever, Aqua Necromancer marks a departure from his more super-brutal output — and the results are amazing as well as refreshing.

Aqua Necromancer is complemented by Masami Akita’s photography of Art Deco architecture. The recording will stand out in any Merzbow collection as absolutely top-notch material.
