Merzbow

Probably Merzbow's most famous recording, and certainly the most popular that I can tell, Pulse Demon is a sumptuous exercise in harsh noise. Whereas other Merzbow recordings might feel undercomposed, or rushed, given Akita's prolific work-rate, Pulse Demon is the work of a master at ease with his talent. As always, the tracks were personally mastered by Akita above and beyond normal quality levels so as to work better at high volumes.

  1. "Woodpecker No. 1" – 6:42
  2. "Woodpecker No. 2" – 3:37
  3. "Spiral Blast" – 4:30
  4. "My Station Rock" – 4:54
  5. "Ultra Marine Blues" – 11:29
  6. "Tokyo Times Ten" – 11:09
  7. "Worms Plastic Earthbound" – 24:53
  8. "Yellow Hyper Balls" – 6:03
