Batztoutai with Material Gadgets, subtitled De-Composed Works 1985~86, is a double album by the Japanese noise musician Merzbow. It is a remixed reissue of the 1986 album Batztoutai with Memorial Gadgets with a bonus disc of loops recorded at the same time.
The tracks "Semykyoku", "Anus Anvil Anxiety" and "Mortegage" from the original release are missing from this version. "Intermission" is a short excerpt of "Dahkini Disko" from the original. Full-length versions of "Anus Anvil Anxiety" and "Mortegage" were included in the Merzbox.
The material on Loop Panic Limited is primarily taken from the then-unreleased Agni Hotra. "Industrial Pollusion 2" is a version of "3 Types of Industrial Pollusion", included on the reissue of Antimonument. The album title might be a reference to the underground publisher Loompanics Unlimited.
The album has been repressed several times with several variations of the artwork/packaging. A Japanese edition was released in 2004 in a limited edition of 250 copies with new artwork.
The track "Fireploof Enema 1" was used on Russell Haswell's track "Micromedley" on the Merzbow remix album Scumtron.
All music composed by Masami Akita, except where noted.
