Hello, A couple of weeks ago, someone here was asking about Merzbow doing more beat oriented work. I saw the following on ForcedExposure's release list, and while it isn't exactly what was questioned, it may fit the description (notice the collaborators). [I'm not sure what to expect from this baed on MillePlateaux's normally abstract descriptions, but his tracks on _EL5_ were fairly good d'n'b type stuff.]:

beat oriented work. Hmm.. Was this statement based on the interview w/ Masami involving the 53 CD "Merzbox?" Because I was just reading that the other week and contemplating the same thing.. I can't really picture it, but Mr Akita claims to have put 3 CDs of "techno" into the box set. -- andrij.
