Boris and Merzbow

Japanese metal and noise innovators Boris and Merzbow are back collaborating again with their new, epic two-part album "Gensho."  The two halves are meant to be played at the same time, a la The Flaming Lips' "Zaireeka," but stand pretty tall on their own too.  Reworking a few old Boris tunes, it's kind of like the two artists are covering themselves, reinterpretations years later, sonic portraits of how things have changed...or even stay the same.  Get the records from Relapse and listen to the newer version of "Farewell," originally on the 2005 album "Pink" below.
