   Since I was so annoyed by the incomplete Merzbow Mercurated double LP reissue on #Urashima, I found a not too expensive used CD instead (at least a lot cheaper than the LP, including shipping).

   I find that extreme harsh noise sounds better on CD most of the time anyway, and this is really some of Merzbow's more brutal work.

   Also, the LP version seems to lack the shininess of the CD cover.

     @erik ps. Not being sarcastic, seriously giving 'Merzbuddha' a spin now

     @HarroldRoeland Ha! Yeah, I'm listening to this on headphones now, and 70+ min. can be a bit much. But I do feel I pick up some more details on headphones than on speakers.

     Haven't heard Merzbuddha. In general, I'm a bit skeptical to newer Merzbow, and also to the implementation of beats, but I do like the jazz and prog beat samples on records like Door Open At 8 AM and Aqua Necromancer.

     @erik Not knowing Merzbow, I just looked it up while wearing headphones.

     Ouch!

     (But thanks, it's always good to discover new music!)

     @soundclamp Bloody hell. I guess I was too enraged to read the description properly 😅 + Also, it is a very boring description. I think I'll survive with the CD, though.

     Apparently, he always replaces tracks that an ex-girlfriend participated in. He's just that kind of person, so one always have to check 🙄

     @erik @platenworm It’s weird that “Freezedgrume” is missing, but it’s replaced with a previously unreleased piece, so it feels like you kinda have to get both to be complete! 😂😭
