Conversation so far:
Why is 1999-2009 referred to as Merzbow laptop era?
At live performances, Akita has produced noise music from either two laptop computers or combination of a laptop and analog synthesizers/guitar pedals.
Did Merzbow record music on laptop, then release it commercially?
Since 1999, Akita has used computers in his recordings

Question: What was his style at the time?
Self-contained rewrite: What was Merzbow style at the laptop era?
