Since I was so annoyed by the incomplete Merzbow Mercurated double LP reissue on #Urashima, I found a not too expensive used CD instead (at least a lot cheaper than the LP, including shipping).

I find that extreme harsh noise sounds better on CD most of the time anyway, and this is really some of Merzbow's more brutal work.

Also, the LP version seems to lack the shininess of the CD cover.

For actual noise, although quite expensive, https://urashima.bandcamp.com is one of the best labels for re-released noise classics from artists/bands like #Incapacitants, #CCCC, #Hijokaidan, #MSBR, #Aube, #Merzbow, #Masonna, #Solmania and more. #Urashima
