Precisely dated to May 3, 2003, these recordings document Merzbow during the exceptionally productive period yielding Cycle, Merzbird, and Tamago. Listeners familiar with Tamago will recognize kindred elements - particularly drum-like samples erupting from multiple directions in midsections, creating quasi-rhythmic structures amid textural chaos.

The date perhaps references Goya's famous painting "The Third of May 1808," depicting war's brutality - a connection that resonates with Merzbow's own confrontational aesthetics.
