Lucas Schleicher reviewed one of the other Merzbow releases this month, the collaboration with Richard Pinhas,
Keio Line. Also having that album, I listened to it and agreed with Lucas’ summation: the balance of the two artists helped pull Akita out of his usual scraping noise and into something else entirely.
Anicca, on the other hand, is not so different or unique. It’s sort of like a relative that you have fond childhood memories of, but once you visit them again, you realize they're sort of an asshole.
