Review of Animal Magnetism

I use to like this release a lot more when I first had it but now it's pretty average compared to his other guitar laptop noise. The noise is not to heavy or ear busting, like his older stuff, but instead it's very rhythmically sensual. My friend falls asleep to this type of noise sometimes. I don't much like the title track at all but the last track, Pier 39, is one of my all time favorite Merzbow tracks. The guitar sample he toys and loops with is a lot slower than the rest featured in the CD. The noise level is light and has a very hypnotic quality to it as the sound ranges from one ear to the next.
