Door Open At 8 AM (Remastered + Bonus Tracks)

by Merzbow

supported by

Shared Systems 有限 This album is easily one of Merzbow's most underrated releases. next to Merzbeat, I think this is probably my second favorite. Colorful, full of texture, noisy, fun, jazzy and unpredictable. Favorite track: Lyons Wake.

aidan <3 one of merzbow’s best

GenesisDoes this is a certified merzbuddies moment

MERZILLA Zany blown apartness begins with The Intro & Tony Williams Deathspace & continues into silly bunk!! Jimmy Elins In Traffic is franticcorybantic!! Lyon's Wake forsakes electric's complete murder!! Door Open lays branded, all sizzled. Metro & Bus F'n modulatin' modulators, bonkers as a mutherfucker...& Africa Brass Session Vol. 2's blippity selfifty sessions into blastastic blasting plue. Orgiastic noiseiastic love! Lyons 2 Mix & Concret Mix (Bonus) =Vrandtastic Soundexplosion. Prepossessing!

Favorite track: Lyons 2 Mix (Bonus Track).

kato09 I love this album, too underrated in Merzbow's discography.
Full of jazz influences taken to the extreme by the analog sounds of the EMS VCS3/Synthi A, Moog Rogue and a Theremin. Favorite track: The Africa Brass Session Vol.2.

Dan Otto / Don Henson Merzbow has released 72, soon to be 78, Archival releases over the last few years. All amazing. All individual. This "Archival" reissue of a classic is a real treat. A very rhythmic release. With quite simple loop manipulation Masami creates a noise symphony from the strangled ashes of classic jazz. A tour de force! Favorite track: Metro and Bus.

The darkness of this album along with its name is not nonsense, but has a lot to do with what you are going to find when you listen to it. A perfect ambience that gives you chills just trying to imagine what the "Black Crow Cyborg" coming towards you would be like. Two legends together on the same LP, you can't ask for more, LISTEN IT NOW! kato09

Pulse Demon is a great harsh noise album that paved the way for the genre. Not only was it ground breaking but was also different at the time, this is why I respect the album so heavily. Luke
