NEW boris record coming out boris/merzbow collabooo bro
Japanese power trio Boris return with another limited offering. With only 5000 units pressed, ‘Rock Dream’ is a brilliant two disc set of a live collaboration between Boris and the legendary Japanese master of abrasion, Merzbow. Capturing a performance at “Earthdom” in Tokyo on November 18, 2006, this stellar soundboard recording proves that these artists are no stranger to collaboration and their symmetrical chemistry burns a brightly shining path. What makes this formation particularly interesting is that both Boris and Merzbow seem to leave behind the expected to fully embrace the unknown. The usually harsh, corrosive grate of Merzbow isn’t as apparent with Boris involved, while the inspired charge of the Boris rock machine seems to reach new heights with Merzbows’ intuitive textures added. As Merzbow doesn’t totally dominate this recording, he seems to fit flawlessly in with the group, beautifully adding noise, synth and effects, while dubbing it up. Playing is dense, but everything is well present in the mix and there is a bottom end to speak of. Standout tracks include the collaborations’ epic take on “Feedback”, “Black Out” and “Just Abandoned Myself”. For Boris collectors and completists, there is a previously unreleased track (”Evil Stack”, a brief noise piece evolving from the end of “Black Out”), as well as a PYG cover (”Flower Sun Rain”). Taken as a whole, ‘Rock Dream’ it is an exhausting listen, but one that is sure to leave listeners floored.taken from regnyouth.com
