Album Notes & Community Reviews
'1930' is an overwhelmingly dense, terrifyingly harsh noise monument dedicated to early 20th-century futurism. Merzbow constructs a highly dissonant, mechanical, and avant-garde assault of tape loops and analog feedback, resulting in an unexpectedly hypnotic instrumental experience.
