Kogasa54's video: Noise Merzbow - Liquid City 17-1-95

Artist: Merzbow Title: Liquid City 17-1-95 Album: Merzbox Disc 44: Liquid City Label: Extreme Year: 2000 A quote from the Merzbook about this album: "The Futurist's creed- in esscence: speed, motion, power, spiced with a liberal dash of technophilia- is encapsulated by a document like Liquid City. You could imagine that the relatively short lived movement could could have explained itself more thoroughly and convincingly with access to recordings like this and a couple of reels of time-lapse photography. For whatever derision came their way, many of the Futurists' cold predictions and projections have come to pass; certainly in regard to the engines of industry, commerce and transport, definitely in the case of the data smog that engulfs us daily. Rather than being yet another contributor to the deafening hum of the megapolis, Merzbow's 1995 Liquid City is an antidote. Think of it as a martini for the mind, a delight to eagerly anticipate and relish upon arrival home after a trying shift to chase a buck. Fetch your pipe and slippers, ease into a smoking jacket and cravat and melt your cares away with the soothing strains of chugging, yowling, all-conquering electronics. You'll be so glad you did."
