The playful title suggests psychedelic blue - chromatic synesthesia rendered in noise. Akita has always been interested in the intersection of sound and color, titles throughout his catalog evoking visual qualities. These 1992 sessions capture Merzbow in experimental mode, the psychedelic reference connecting to traditions of consciousness expansion through intense sensory experience.
Blue carries particular associations: melancholy, depth, the infinite sky and sea. "Bluedelic" suggests psychedelia tinged with sadness, or perhaps the blue glow of electronic screens. The "+" symbol indicates expanded or enhanced versions of previously available material, offering more complete documentation of these sessions.
