Ikebana: Merzbow's Amlux Rebuilt, Reused and Recycled
A wonderful collection of loose interpretations of Merzbow's best album of recent times 'Amlux'. A very wide range of artists come with eclectic variations on Masami's deadly noise chaos. Some remixes seem to completely steer in an opposite direction like DJ Spooky's surprisingly fresh turntabalist blast. Twenty nine remixes deep here are just a sample - DJ/Rupture >> chopped beat scientifics with cello plucks and noise tweaks - Kim Hiorthoy >> pop gabba noisecore (surprisingly), Bola >> ace lush but dark-ended ambience leading into frantic tonal beat attack - Atom Heart >> low end dark beatbass sickness, ala Dos Tracks on hip hop crack. Extra special mention to Hrvatski for his incredible 'Toru Pup' which devastates with frequency twisting sonic blasts and beat cut ups and Plug, (Luke Vibert's wicked alias is back) killer amen beatbreak wreakage up there with the best of the original Plug series. Other artists featured are Mouse On Mars, Cornelius, Negativland, Jack Dangers, Alec Empire, Nobukazu Takemura, Chicks On Speed, Lasse Marhaug, Kim Cascone, Freiband and many more. Luxury card slipcase packaging. Mighty music.
