Merzbild Schwet is the third album by British cult band Nurse With Wound. A studio album is an original collection of new tracks by a recording artist Nurse with Wound (or shortened as NWW) is the main recording name for British musician Steven Stapleton. A music genre is a categorical and typological construct that identifies musical sounds as belonging to a particular category and type of music that can be distinguished from other Industrial music is a loose term for a number of different styles of Experimental music, especially but not necessarily Electronic music. Experimental music is a term introduced by composer John Cage in 1955 In the Music industry, a record label can be a Brand and a Trademark associated with the Marketing of music recordings and Music In the Music industry, a record producer or music producer has many roles among them controlling the recording sessions coaching and guiding the musicians organizing Steven Peter Stapleton (born 3 February 1957 in Finchley, London, England) is a British musician and the only constant member allmusic (previously All Music Guide) is a Metadata database about music owned by All Media Guide. Nurse with Wound (or shortened as NWW) is the main recording name for British musician Steven Stapleton. To the Quiet Men from a Tiny Girl is the second album by Nurse With Wound and the last to be made by the founding trio of Steven Stapleton, John Fothergill Insect and Individual Silenced was the fourth album by Nurse With Wound. Nurse with Wound (or shortened as NWW) is the main recording name for British musician Steven Stapleton.

Following disagreements amongst the founding NWW trio over To the Quiet Men from a Tiny Girl, Steven Stapleton returned to the studio without Heman Pathak or John Fothergill to create something that more closely fulfilled his vision of what Nurse With Wound should be. To the Quiet Men from a Tiny Girl is the second album by Nurse With Wound and the last to be made by the founding trio of Steven Stapleton, John Fothergill Steven Peter Stapleton (born 3 February 1957 in Finchley, London, England) is a British musician and the only constant member The results are often cited as the first great NWW album, with Rolf Semprebon at All Music Guide stating that it constitutes "the first fully realized NWW record. allmusic (previously All Music Guide) is a Metadata database about music owned by All Media Guide. . . . a far more mature effort than its predecessors, much more focused and sounding less like some stoned guys goofing off in the studio".

There is a more extensive use of tape editing and audio collage on Merzbild Schwet than was found on the preceding releases, a strategy that would become Stapleton's signature sound on the albums that followed. There is also the first overt use of humour; the sound of a repeated loud vinyl pop being included at the beginning of side one, initially creating the impression than the record is in some way damaged, before the repetitions accelerate to such a speed that it becomes obvious that it is part of the composition (the impact of this device is rather lost on the subsequent cassette and CD editions).

Although Fothergill was not involved in the recording, he is credited as a member on the sleeve; Pathak had already departed by the time the release was being prepared. However, Eve Libertine of anarcho-punk collective Crass provided vocals.

To the Quiet Men from a Tiny Girl is the second album by Nurse With Wound and the last to be made by the founding trio of Steven Stapleton, John Fothergill

The album was issued in an initial hand-numbered pressing of 500, with number 310 being the source of a wide-spread bootleg pressing. It was issued on cassette by United Dairies in 1980 and by U. S. label Cause And Effect in 1986 alongside the first two albums in a set called Ladies Home Tickler (Three Piece Sweet). In 1990, a CD edition followed, as well as a further 1000 vinyl copies as part of the Psilotripitaka box set. All are out of print.
