Electric Dress covers the full spectrum of sound color possibility, from totally brutal walls of destructive noise to beautiful minimal synthetic interplay, analog drone and shifting alien electronics. A total mind melting collaboration recorded live in tokyo using synths and a variety of custom analog equipment, even including Merzbow's classic spring/junk metal instrument. Warm, varied, and obsessive this is what industrial music should have been, the sound of infinite machines demolishing a planet and creating a new structure where live organisms have been eradicated. Edited and mastered by Jim for maximum sonic annihilation. Documents one of nowadays very rare Merzbow's all analog live shows, one of Jim O'Rourke's rare live appearances since his move to Japan and the culmination of Carlos Giffoni's Japan Synth Destruction Tour. All this at the same time! 100% Essential! Electric Dress is recommended for fans of analog period Merzbow, earlynoise and Industrial Music, academic electronic and analog synth music-And for those adepts of beautiful and invigorating evil music.
