hey, steve - the merzshow is what you'll get on many of the records, which is what makes many of the records expendable imnsho. i did dig the gig (and good to see you there, too), but of the ones i've heard, i don't need to hear them alot. i think he's mostly a live experience. that said, i do really enjoy 'music for bondage performance' 1 & 2 (two releases on Extreme). intense, but quite different. more textured. and if you didn't get on the email list at the show, opposite records (opposite@icu.com) has some good prices on some of the titles. seconds, to, the the ups for 'eh'. nice record, tho i find it, for reasons completely opposite of merzbow, harder to listen to at home than out. kg np: polwechsel + fennez 'wrapped islands' _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
