One of Merzbow's best guitar noise albums. From start to finish each track carries with it his laptop-sample-stretched out noise and it works well in this release. The noise is not to heavy or ear busting, like his older stuff, but instead it's very rhythmic sensual. My wife falls asleep to this type of noise sometimes. The last track, Pier 39, is one of my all time favorite Merzbow tracks. The guitar sample he toys and loops with is a lot slower the rest featured in the CD. The noise level is light and has a very hypnotic quality to it as the sound ranges from one ear to the next. A great release, if you can ignore the chicken samples.
