Title: Whatever happened to Bustmonster?
Review: Masami Akita has done some seriously fun punk over the years along with his noise stylings. In particular, Bustmonster, a collaboration with Hong Kong noizhead xper. xr. and a few others, is fantastically funny stuff. Charming, naive, thoroughly no-fi. Even the cover is xeroxed. Pure DIY punk/noise.That said, this release is painful. I love Merzbow, but even I find this relatively unlistenable. The internal rhythms and undercurrents that hallmark Merzbow's wall-o-noise-era material are absent here, and the sense of whimsy that drove projects like Bustmonster is also absent. One wonders, on occasion, if the recording equipment was actually broken. This is noise to sleep to.
