Thanks, atsonic. I had no.2, thought of getting more. Gave the first one a spin and am definitely getting it. Thing with downloading Merzbow is that you'll need it on CD at least to hear it properly; the rapidshare link is a taste and will inevitably result in people checking out the real thing.
The corollary is also true--this type of music is sufficiently hard to hear that many without access to downloads may shy away completely in fear of a quite expensive mistake. Better to say "Hey Alex, what the fuck is that noise" after sampling a Rapidshare than to throw down twenty of your Earth euros to find out it's not for you. Same reason I don't hate the Radio for playing shite music--now I know and it didn't cost me anything.
So ta, mate. Ta very much.
