| | dexter’s cigar press release... |
| perhaps most excitingly of all is the one and only merzbow release we’ve got in our extended catalog — the dexter’s cigar cd entitled rainbow electronics ii. the only dexter’s cigar album that ever had its own t-shirt (out of print, sadly…and no, it’s not coming back. we're not there yet, kids)
this was recorded back in the old days of merzbow releases – analog tape, not laptop, but even then with a seamless quality that looked toward the coming technology. merzbow was aware of noise music’s ghettoization as “industrial music” and created these recordings as a demonstration of the colorful nature of his own private noise.
rainbow electronics ii has been out of print for seven or eight years now, but listening to it again brings the color back into our cheeks. if you made the mistake of missing this the first time around, hunt a copy down for yourself now – and play it loud! the only way to learn from the mistakes of the past is to not make them again — isn't that what ol' shakespeare so famously said? or wait, was is einstein? if we could reissue those guys' records too, we would, okay? |
