MERZBOW: "Sha Mo 3000" CD (Essence Music, Brazil)
From the epicenter of endless, mutating noise patterns on the title track, emerges truly mesmerizing blocks of filtered pulses and wisely manipulated piercing beat attacks collected from the various sources and later fully deconstructed here. Amidst ever-changing static bursts, amazing fuzzed out guitar riffs and loops create dense trance-inducing barrages slowly moving and enchanting the listener. Limited to 900 copies, miniature gatefold LP sleeve.

MERZBOW: "Merzbuddha" CD (Important, USA)
What did you listen to last summer? Masami Akita spent most of his summer listening to Horace Andy, Studio One, Dennis Bovell, Keith Hudson and a whole pipe full of other dub mavericks. That's probably why this brand new full length, with cover art by Jenny Akita, is dripping with deep bass riffage and a whole lot of electronic dub vibes and beats.

MUSLIMGAUZE: "Uzbekistani Bizzare and Souk" CD (Important, USA)
