The tracks incorporate the jazz power of Sun Ra, carried into brutal excess by the legendary Japanese noise artist, Merzbow. Originally released by Cold Spring a decade ago and long sold out, the music was spread across vinyl and CD, with completely different music on each format. The tracks are now collected together here for the first time, from the original masters and presented in the order originally intended (the vinyl format dictated the order due to optimal sound quality restraints). Also included (for the first time on any release) is the bonus two minute track \"Granular Jazz Part 5,\" a special composition created for the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eStuart Maconie\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e's \"Freak Zone\" (BBC Radio 6), which was only broadcast once, ahead of Merzbow's show at Manchester's legendary FAC251, September 2016. Presented on 2CD with expanded artwork in a eight-panel double digipak. Comes with an eight-page booklet featuring a new essay by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eGydja\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jackpot Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48092999581914,"sku":null,"price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/5705\/3402\/files\/CSR369CD_PROD.jpg?v=1782272378","url":"https:\/\/jackpotrecords.com\/products\/sun-ra-merzbow-strange-city-2cd-pre-order-out-7-17-26","provider":"Jackpot Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
