Masami Akita assaults our ears once again with a double CD limited concept box set.

The two CD’s of Kibako span from extended and powerful harsh noise pieces to ambient and tribal offerings. Once again Merzbow is able to surprise us, this time with tribal wooden instruments, violent analogue synths and ambient soundscapes. The music of Kibako represents a vision of sound and concepts presented in a way only the mind of a world class master of noise could deliver. Powerful sound and ambient tribalism battle for the ears attention.

The two discs come in beautiful card stock packaging with postcard, sticker, yellow bag, wooden amulet. Also available in an ultra limited version in a wooden box .

There is no need to argue: Merzbow stands as the most important artist in noise music. Akita began to bring about his own brand of noise music in 1979, and since then been constantly changing the very foundation his sound is built on.

His music is an interpretation of very complex ideologies imbued with a violently non-traditional, but ultimately transparent sense of beauty. On Lop Lop Merzbow takes a step in a new direction from his recent releases and focuses on manipulating sounds and harsh beats in a way meant to make a new mark on the face of his well known style. The synths and guitars scream and sing in a way which allows them to be heard through all the oppressive noise, often returning to ferocious power electronics sounds which clearly define the anger of this new release.

The cd comes in special paper packaging with an original painting by Masami Akita. LIMITED BOX 299 COPIES CONTAINS : 2 CD, POSTCARD, STICKER, ORIGINAL PENDAT
