Paradoxa Paradoxa
Paradoxa Paradoxa (パラドクサ・パラドクサ) also known as Live at Kid Airak Hall is a live album by the Japanese noise musician Merzbow. It is the first live Merzbow performance, recorded at Kid Ailack Art Hall.[1]
It is sometimes referred to as just Live at Kid Airak Hall because Paradoxa Paradoxa is only written in Japanese on the insert. They are also sometimes mistakenly listed as separate issues, but there was only one.[1][2] It was reissued on cassette by ZSF Produkt in 1988, and included on the Merzbox in 2000. The Merzbox includes the complete concert, the original cassette on track 1, and the rest on track 2.[1]
