4.0 out of 5 stars It is what it is, January 4, 2000

This review is from: Music for Bondage Performance (Audio CD)
Apparently this is music created for Japanese rope bondage shows (the correct title is Music for Bondage Performance), a cultural phenomenon that hasn't quite caught on in America.

I think one reason why this works, despite being nihilistic atonal noise, is that the sounds are generally very clear and distinct, and don't degenerate into aural sludge. I wouldn't exactly call it catchy, but it is intriguing, often beautiful and driven by a deliberate aesthetic sensibility. Occasionally even a hint of a melody will appear from deep within the harsh, droning machinery.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Akita, November 7, 2000
This review is from: Music for Bondage Performance (Audio CD)
Far less harsh than most of Master Akita's material, Music for Bondage Performance is a perfect introduction to Merzbow, and the greater world of noise that lies behind him. Waves of sonics provide an almost soothing background to the subdued loops above them, creating a sensual atmosphere designed to allow the viewer to focus on the performance. To someone unfamiliar with noise, it's indescribable until you hear it; imagine the ambient soundtrack to a suspense film with slightly less in the way of melody and you'll get a general idea. Fantastic stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars music to listen to while creeping around in the dark, December 7, 1998
This review is from: Music for Bondage Performance (Audio CD)
This album is a recording of noise. There is no beat, no words, no melody, etc... If these criteria are all you think of when you think of music, then perhaps listening to this album will expand your perception of the term. Merzbow is Japanese Industrial Noise. If you like Einsturzende Neubauten, give this artist a try.
