Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded in 1999, 'Collapse 12 Floors' belongs to the first group of Merzbow works Masami Akita built on a laptop after abandoning his analog equipment. A document of Japanese noise at the point of its transition to digital production, tracks such as 'Wa 30.25' subject dense electronic debris to the sustained, full-spectrum assault that defines his solo project.
