Merzan / Zanmerz - Hell City and GoGoCrash

Hell City and GoGoCrash was recorded in the fall and winter of 1991. Luis attached the following description of the tape. "It sounds me to Hell City, that's the reason of the title. For this track I've used the tape you sent me, another tape from you, a collection of mechanic sounds and selections of treated scannings done by me. I think the tape sounds such as a soundtrack from a B movie series." The GoGoCrash side features two pieces finished in mid November, 1991. The first and longest "She plays a mean car crash" is a soothing, meandering but disarming piece with sounds from Merz (rhythms, guitars and such), Agog (treated violin), How Project (reel to reel loops from Belgium), plus John Wiggins' soothing works contrasted by the chaotic cutups of Runzlestirn and Gurglestock. The second piece would cause for some serious hell to break out on the disco floor. "GoGoMinóyMadredMetal" has the thundering disco looping of 1348, the galloping dance floor rhythms of Merz and insane charge of voices and laughter from Minóy and his mother Anika. The combined chaos and propulsion would send any club into quite a riot.
