Continuing the percussive investigations begun in Volume 1, this installment pushes further into the liminal space between rhythm and chaos. Where the first volume established the conceptual framework, Environmental Percussion Vol. 2 explores its implications more deeply, finding increasingly complex rhythmic patterns within seemingly formless noise.

Together, the Environmental Percussion volumes document Merzbow's engagement with rhythm and pulse - dimensions often overlooked in discussions of Akita's work that would become increasingly prominent in subsequent years. These recordings prove that even at his most abstract, Akita never abandoned the body - his noise pulses and throbs, demanding physical response even as it overwhelms the ears.
