Masami Akita continues his work as the world's premiere extreme dynamicist on Circular Reference, his latest full-length and first for No Holiday. It's a torrent of synthesized tones colliding against punishing layers of feedback and midrange noise. But there are also snatches of lurching rhythms to be found, as well as moments of relative uneasy calm. More than anything, it's distinctly Merzbow.Released on 2xLP and CD formats, the latest from this titan of noise is sure to please longtime listeners and new disciples. We recommend playing this one especially loud.

First released by Extreme in the massive, infamous Merzbox, Red Magnesia Pink is extracted and recontextualized as a standalone release for the first time. Recorded in 1995, Red Magnesia Pink sees Merzbow in peak form. A psychedelic whirlwind of synthetic transmissions; harsh, wet, screeching sounds that could only be produced by Masami Akita. Featuring two previously unreleased bonus tracks from the same era.
