Tip! * 25 copies, exclusive Soundohm blue shell cassette / white shell cassette * "Paradoxa Paradoxa": first ever live performance of Merzbow, recorded live at Kid Ailack Art Hall, Tokyo, 22 March 1981. First time ever re-issue on cassette since 1988. An incredible visceral performance, remastered by Masami Akita himself. An incredible chance of owning this very sought-after material. + "Material Action for 2 Microphones", originally released as a cassette on Lowest Music & Arts, Japan in 1981, later released on ZSF Produkt, Japan, in 1984. 

Paradoxa Paradoxa and Material Action for 2 Microphones are both a historical release and an interesting, insightful document of early Merzbow, before he settled into the HNW expressionist pallet you would mostly prefer for the next four decades. Deprived of the line noise and the static, Masami Akita reveal himself to be sensitive, intuitive improvisers, capable of stunning acoustic sculptures even less tethered to musicality than free jazz.
