Timehunter is a box set album by Japanese noise musician Merzbow. The album "originally began as an exercise working in the dynamics of 2002's Merzbeat".
Contents
Timehunter features deconstructed beats which i took from 70s hard rock stuff like Omega, Golden Earring, Spontaneous Combustion, Alamo. Also I tried mixing these destructed breakbeats with heavy guitar drone.
Some tracks might be named after the bands Warhorse, Ramatam and Stone the Crows, and after the song "Space Truckin'" by Deep Purple. "CD Hunter" is a remix of "Ab Hunter", released in 1999 on Split Series 1–8, and later collected on Another Merzbow Records.
Packaging
The release comes on four mini CDs, and is packaged in a day planner binder, complete with a calendar and business card. In the calendar days are marked with the time certain tracks should be played. The card includes a phone number and says "please give me a call — timehunter". The track titles are also listed in Japanese.
