Paradoxa Paradoxa (パラドクサ・パラドクサ), also known as Live at Kid Airak Hall. It is a live album of the Japanese noise group Merzbow's first live performance.^[1][2]

It is sometimes referred to as a separate album called Live at Kid Airak Hall because Paradoxa Paradoxa is only written in Japanese on the insert.^[2][3]

Material from this tape was included on the album Tridal Production. The full-length concert recording was later included in the Merzbox (2000).
