TO BE RELEASED SEPTEMBER 10. PRE-ORDER TODAY.
"Merzbient" was originally released in 2010 as a box set of twelve compact discs. The edition of 555 numbered copies, which sold out within weeks of its release, was hailed by fans as some of Merzbow's best work, and it has since become a highly desirable collector's item. Now an expanded edition of eighteen albums is being released in an edition of 222 numbered and signed copies. The music from the original CD release is presented on albums 1 to 15. Some of the tracks have been edited to conform with the limitations of the medium. Albums 16, 17 and 18 contain exclusive bonus material never released until today. This vinyl release of "Merzbient" is presented in utterly lavish packaging, starting with a pair of custom-made foil-blocked boxes that look like large versions of the boxes made for the original CD edition. Each box holds nine LPs. Each record has full-color center labels, and comes in a full-color sleeve. Three inserts printed on textured paper complete the package. The records in the first 44 sets are pressed on translucent dark red vinyl, and are reserved for Soleilmoon's direct mailorder customers. The remaining 178 copies are pressed in black vinyl.
PRICE: $349.99 (LOL, near to Merzbox...) CANADIAN CUSTOMERS: There will be special charge of $65.00 for delivery to Canada. ======================== REST OF THE WORLD: Postage will cost from $75 to $100, depending on the destination. (PFFFFF....)

Well, Merzbient is an amazing set to have but im not a fan of vinyl or expensive sets.
I think with a little more preasure from myself i could have bought the CD version but there is no way im buying the vinyl one. But thats just me

Holy crap. No way I could afford any of this shit. Hahah, it'd be cool, but it's not happening.
I still entertain the idea of buying a Merzbox from time to time, but when I think of the musical gear I could get for 500 bucks, it really seems like a waste to me. I don't exactly have a ton of disposable income.
