This alternate version of legendary Cloud Cock OO Grand material offers fresh perspective on one of Merzbow's most celebrated early-90s works. The title's surrealist absurdity reflects Akita's Dadaist engagement - language pushed beyond sense into pure sonic evocation. "Cloud," "Cock," "Grand" - the words resist logical combination, instead creating irrational poetry.
The existence of multiple mixes raises questions about identity and authenticity in experimental music. If noise is supposed to be raw and unmediated, what does careful mixing and remixing signify? Perhaps the answer is that Merzbow's work has always been more composed than its chaotic surface suggests - these variations reveal the deliberate decisions underlying apparent chaos.
