Prolific Japanese artist Masami Akita aka Merzbow teams up with session musician, producer, and singer-songwriter Eiko Ishibashi for a work that showcases yet another side to Akita's monumental catalog. Kouen Kyoudai consists of two side-long tracks that could be read as a contemporary take on the traditional avant-garde. With it's skittering electronics, percussion, piano, doom, and noise, Kouen Kyoudai seamlessly incorporates many strands of experimental thought and practice. The tension that arises from the human use of the tool is made explicit as these works unfold in a storm of ecstatic human/instrument/machine interaction. Drums hammer alongside an ecstatic drone. Notes on a piano jostle with a storm of splintered electronics. Kouen Kyoudai highlights the pull between beauty and chaos; structure and the abyss - leaving behind a thrilling display of the interplay between the human and the technological while opening up new paths for both musicians involved. Masami Akita: noise electronics, computer, drums. Eiko Ishibashi: piano, drums, synth. Recorded at Gok Sound and Super Deluxe, Tokyo. Recorded and mixed by Jim O'Rourke. Cut at Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin 2015. Photography by Shunichiro Okada. Design by Jacob Cates.

Solid Superman story
Format: Hardcover
Lex is dying and tricks Superman in to trying to save him. While this sounds like a spoiler, there is so much more in this tale. Mark Waid knows what he is doing with his stories. So just sit back and enjoy the ride. The art team of Hitch and Nowlan is out of this world, with some mind blowing two page spreads. The oversized hardcover is the best format to appreciate the views.

VIVA METAMORPHO
Format: Paperback
Okay, I was always lukewarm to Metamorpho before I read this. This reprints the roots of the character and his supporting cast, who are an essential part of these stories. Ramona Fradon's art in these stories will blow your mind, and the banter of the characters will crack you up and warm your soul. BRAVO!

Excellent Color Compilation of Metamorpho Stories
Format: Paperback
I bought many of the comics in the volume when they originally came out in the 1960's, and it is a delight to see them reprinted in color in one volume. I have the Showcase B/W version, which is nice, but this color compilation is better. Hope DC continues this line of inexpensive color reprint volumes.
