The fifth chapter focuses intensively on 1991 - a transformative year for Merzbow. New sampling delay effects from Next and Digitech enabled more rhythmic, cut-up approaches, marking decisive evolution from previous decade's collage techniques. These sessions were originally produced by mixing multiple 4-channel cassettes, but for this release appear largely unedited - raw material preserved without typical layering and processing.

New mixes were created using a TASCAM MFP-01 to replace the unavailable original TASCAM Porta Two, maintaining period-appropriate technology while ensuring contemporary audio quality. The trilogy provides comprehensive insight into a single year's creative output - an intimate portrait at a moment of technological and aesthetic transition.
