Comments:

"Amlux is one of the more fantastic documents of Merzbow completely rocking. It is, like Kiss, hotter than hell" - Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth, as quoted in promotional materials for this album.

Relatively accessible, Amlux features long tracks which slowly build in intensity and then retreat into quieter territory again. On the one hand this is some undeniably good material, but on the other it is almost too sterile, which one could argue is a general criticism to be had of most laptop era merzbow.
