Yes. Many Merzbow records (esp. some CDs) are deliberate endurance tests,
with dynamics that range from 11 to as low as 9, that map out certain
areas of wideband, noisy textures over 50-75 minutes. This record
contains two original Merzbow tracks. The mixes are all consistent with
the approaches of the contributors. The Panasonic and Autechre mixes use
sounds derived from Merzbow originals, but the approach and structure are
entirely different. What this means is the package as a whole ranges from
rhythmic (Autechre) to non-rhythmic (most of the rest), and extremely loud
(Merzbow original & re/mega/mix) to extremely quiet. Worthwhile if you
like the contributors, and if your tastes range much further into
left-field than Autechre.
