Timehunter

Timehunter is a box set album by Japanese noise musician Merzbow.^[1] The album "originally began as an exercise working in the dynamics of 2002's Merzbeat".^[2]

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.
— Masami Akita

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.
