German dark ambient / industrial project created (possibly) by Oliver Krause.
Mercantan self released in 1993 their debut album "IX" on cassette format, as a limited edition of 100 copies.
Two years later "IX" was re-released on CD by the German label Drag & Drop Industrial.
The track listing of the CD version was different from the cassette, with some songs been removed

and some others re-worked or having a longer duration.
The last appearance of the project was on the cassette release "At MST Concert 1"

that was a live recording of their performance on 16.12.1995 at the AZ Aachen

together with Salt, Pineal Gland Zirbeldruese and Q-Rare.
The Memory Link features both the CD and Cassette versions

and also three bonus tracks that were taken from Mercanta's participation on the compilations

"Auf Abwegen Kompilation" (1994) and "In Stahlgewittern - I Kapitel" (1995).
